The Notable Names Database (NNDB) is an online database of biographical details of over 40,000 people of note. NNDB describes itself as an "intelligence aggregator" of those it determines to be noteworthy, but mostly to identify connections between people. The NNDB Mapper, a visual tool for exploring connections between people, was made available in May 2008. It requires Flash 7. The interface allows the user to map how various individuals and institutions are connected, and save and share these maps.
