Wouldn't it be interesting to see a knowledge graph version of Da Vinci's notebooks where ideas, trains of thought, work sketches, etc., can be traced through his entire corpus?
E.g., show on a timeline all drawing and writing on the Sforza monument + related material.
This would be a great Codex Commons project...
"Show me all his thinking on hydraulics over time, with connections to material which influenced this research."
For example, connections between water turbulence and hair, between waves and sound and light, hydraulic engineering schemes, etc.
"Show me all the notes and sketches for the lost Leda and the Swan with related material on braids, knots, spiral leaf forms, water turbulence, geological links to his cosmological conception of Earth as a Gaia-like entity, his Alpine expeditions & research into fossils."
We could call it: The Da Vinci Codex. 😁
