Ian Dickinson commented on JENA-890:
------------------------------------
Sorry, but what's the use case for having analysis and charting tools in Fuseki
at all? I totally get that such things can be useful for some users in some
contexts, and I'm all for people experimenting with RDF-based dataviz
workbenches, but Fuseki is a dataset control and publishing UI. It should, in
my opinion, be focussed on doing that task well.
I'm not, in general, in favour of adding user-configurable options to UI's. I
strongly recommend Steve Krug's book on this topic
(http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dont-Make-Me-Think-Usability/dp/0321965515/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8).
Whenever as a developer you put a user configuration option in a UI, you're
doubling the test surface of the system, but moreover you're making the user do
the hard work of figuring out what the right behaviour should be for you.
> 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.
