Hi,

thanks for all the hints! I like the schemaweb, because it uses a crawler, but also like the other more "publisher"-oriented tools. I was looking for a more user-oriented tool.

Basically we have to options to access a LOD dataset: browsing (thats what typically people do at the moment) or by SPARQL (what I'm doing). If you go for SPARQL, you usually don't have a glue how the graph behind looks like. That's why I would like to have some vocab browser which helps me to get some more glue which properties I can use in my query...

What I'm looking for is some more graphical or intuitive view on vocabularies around probably in some clusterd manner. On the one hand I would like to have a web-scale clustered view, on the other hand a view just generated from some SPARQL endpoint.

Some vocabs are not interlinked (so different cluster here), others heavily - either by vocab concepts explicitly like RDFS domain/range pointing to external classes, sub-classing, equivalent property/class, etc. or implicitly by poeple using the different vocabs. By implicitly I mean, vocabs where the T-Box has no assertions but people typically use it that way, especially in the RDF-only way (without RDFS and explicit classes).

Oh, that's really cool!

One thing I'd like to see is a comprehensive repository of vocabularies,
sort of like http://www.schemaweb.info/ (which is a bit too sleepy for
comfort).

So, I was wondering if it might make sense if you crawl and index
vocabularies and make them available read-only in the case where they
reside outside of Knoodl?

Cheers,

Kjetil
