Any ideas on how to visualize a various time periods and multiple groups as below?
Time periods in each group are specified as start and end dates... for example
Organization Org1 15 Jan 1998 22 Dec 2008
Role Role2 12 June 2003 15 Dec 2005
Formatting is optional and all the periods can be in one line (say all Roles). Better this way, when the time period labels are long and this will reduce the clutter and overlap of labels.

Thank you.
