D3: Simple javascript class wrapper for Concept Map

This is a simple javascript class wrapper (in both css and js) for the Concept Map Visualization at http://www.findtheconversation.com/concept-map/, The interface separates json data, html element, and the actual ConceptMap class. It is modified so that it will be easier for a web developer to easily add a concept map chart into their application.

Below is the link to the source code (remember to put in in the web folder of a web server such as xamp so that the html page will be able to download the json in the same folder):

Below is the html which includes the javascript that download a json data and then display as a ConceptMap chart:

<html>
<head>

<link href="lib/concept-map.css" rel="stylesheet"></link>

<script src="lib/jquery-2.1.3.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="lib/d3.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="lib/packages.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="lib/concept-map.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script>
$(function(){
 plotConceptMap();
});
function plotConceptMap()
{
 d3.json("metadata.json", function(dataJson) {
  var plot = new ConceptMap("graph", "graph-info", dataJson);
 });
}
</script>
<style>
body{
padding-top: 10px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="graph" class="conceptmap" ></div>
