Build Library Data Link Explorer

[georgiaewhitney]

Develop a web application (currently titled Library Data Link Explorer) that replicates the functionality of the matcher script in the catalogue-pipeline but makes it accessible to CI staff. The app will allow staff who need to explore the relationships between library records input a workid and return a visual graph representation (not dissimilar to the pdf) of that work's relationships using nodes and edges.

By integrating with Elasticsearch and visualising graphs on the frontend, the app eliminates the need for individuals to require AWS permissions or running scripts manually, providing CI staff with an intuitive way to explore and debug relationships between records.
