FDA v Triton Distribution Knowledge Graph

September 9, 2024

I created a knowledge graph visualization to provide a comprehensive overview of the various taxonomies related to the FDA v. Triton Distribution case that will be argued before the Supreme Court in the fall of 2024. The knowledge graph shows how different aspects of the case are interconnected and helps in understanding the complexity of the legal, regulatory, and public health issues at play.

The graph can be useful for:

1. Legal professionals analyzing the case

2. Policymakers considering the implications of the decision

3. Researchers studying the intersection of public health and regulatory policy

4. Industry stakeholders learning about tobacco regulation and administrative law
