I saw something like this at MoMA, in an exhibit called Design and the Elastic Mind. It was every word in a text -- and in fact, I'm pretty sure they used The Wizard of Oz too -- arranged according to their relationships with each other, with lines connection words that appear next to each other in the book. It looks like a galaxy, with constellations, and the more often a word occurs in the text, the bigger it is on this poster.

I'm now tempted to do something similar with a Shakespeare play...
