I am working on a javascript version of the hypergraph similar to what you suggest. The key advantage of a javascript implementation is that I can embed it in the new Axiom Firefox browser front end. This will allow me to dynamically look up information during the graph traversal. In addition, by associating a "facet" with each node in the graph structure I can use the same code to navigate the "crystal" interface. The hypergraph mobius transformation allows me to model the whole surface as a multifaceted crystal structure. I'm trying to figure out how to do mouse-over menus so you can choose the information you want to see about a category. I also want to be able to change the graph so you can see other relations (such as coercions) rather than just inheritance.
