Hey all,as some of you might know, our company has been developing Graphity - an open-source Linked Data client, which provides browser functionality and more. Here's an instance of it running on Linked Data Hub, rendering DBPedia resource of Tim Berners-Lee: http://linkeddatahub.com/?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fdbpedia.org%2Fresource%2FTim_Berners-Lee You can compare it with the current interface: http://dbpedia.org/page/Tim_Berners-Lee I think it is safe to say that user-friendliness is on another level.
Also check out the SPARQL endpoint which contains an interactive query editor. I would like the DBPedia community to consider making Graphity the default Linked Data interface.
Why? You are adding a visualization to the mix. The tool in question is already listed on the applications collection[1] page currently maintained for the project.
Please remember, Linked Open Data is all about loosely-coupling the following:
1. Object (Entity) Identity2. Object (Entity) Description Location -- basically the Name->Address indirection that's crucial to any Identity based system
3. Notation used to construct Object (Entity) Descriptions4. Wire-Protocol used to serialize Object (Entity) Descriptionsover a network 5. Data Access Tools for interrogating, manipulating, and visualizing Object (Entity) Descriptions.
DBpedia publishes 5-Star Linked Open Data. You, like many others, have built a nice data visualization tool. Great job! But that isn't a mutually exclusive endeavor relative to DBpedia (the data space), it's a nice addition to the mix :)
Do we need an upgrade of the default green pages? Of course! Getting that rolled out is something that's been looping for a while because the capabilities required are a little more challenging than is obvious.
Maybe, at some point, we could have a competition for the community to vote on re., new default interface. The beauty of said competition is that outlining the expectations provides a nice route to actually discussing Linked Open Data visualization matters, clearly etc..
After that, we could take things much further: enable editing mode, add custom layout modes etc. Please let me know what you think. The source code can be found here: https://github.com/Graphity/linked-data-hub https://github.com/Graphity/graphity-client Best regards, Martynas graphityhq.com
