Ian Dickinson commented on JENA-890:
------------------------------------
> anecdotally I figured it out in a couple of minutes
That, right there, is a perfect illustration of a non-discoverable user
interface. If it takes the user several minutes to figure out, and is easier
with prior experience of a reference tool that itself is quite complex, then
clearly it's not aimed at the general user.
Fuseki is not an RDF analysis and charting tool. That's a great thing for
someone to develop, but it's a separate research and development activity.
Fuseki should simply do a good job of providing a UI for people to manage the
serving of RDF data via HTTP.
> Pivot table in Fuseki2 has confusing design and user experience

> Key: JENA-890
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-890
> Project: Apache Jena
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Fuseki
> Affects Versions: Fuseki 2.0.0
> Reporter: Ian Dickinson
>
> The SPARQL query tab on the Fuseki2 interface has an option in the results
> pane labelled 'pivot table'. It's very, very unclear what this does. It
> appears to be an experimental feature of some kind, but it does not provide a
> clear, discoverable user experience. In fact, after playing with it for some
> minutes, I still can't figure out what it is actually for.
> I suggest that either the UX of this feature is radically improved, or we
> remove it from Fuseki2 until it is ready for wider exposure.
