Has anyone seen a Mysql database that will do this

On: AIM Meets Social Network Theory

I am not a database person but I have been interested in this type of social network theory for years. In my profession (archaeology) it is probably more like two degrees of separation because our field is so small. I was looking to find a database (once I realized I could not build it) that would allow an archaeologist to enter who they are and where they have worked/schooled and then see who else is "related" to them by way of common sites/schools and allow them to reconnect with old digging partners ...If it could produce a graphical output that would be great, but not critical.

If you have any ideas or suggestions please drop me a note at slashdot@shovelbums.org

Kudos to the guy who built buddyzoo. Fascinating implementation of the theory and it reminds me of the old sixdegrees site(?) that mapped the "internet cloud" in the early 90's

Thanks for your time.

Best,
