It is technically a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with one (or more) nodes identified as root. Using a graph visualization technique solves the issue, but poorly represents some peculiarities of a quasi-tree structure. This visualization tries to address the representation of a tangled tree (a genealogy in this specific example). The layout and basic technique is the same underlying [Geneaquilts](https://aviz.fr/Research/Geneaquilts) [[1](#footnote1)], but with curved links instead of matrices. Metro-style bundling is used when a parent node appears in multiple "families", and the layout is made more compact on the y axis. The intention is for the graphic to be more readily understood, while losing some of the advantages of Geneaquilts (e.g., representing a union without children). See also [this older, simpler example](https://beta.observablehq.com/@nitaku/tangled-tree-visualization). The technique can also be applied to other types of tangled trees. Such structures are commonly found in computational linguistics (thesauri, some ontologies, wordnets).
