Hi Andy,
we are currently working on a RDF browser that supports user's
understanding of available properties for further exploration. We call
our browser gFacet because of the combination of graph-based
visualization and faceted filtering techniques. If you are interested
have a look at www.gFacet.org <http://www.gFacet.org>
The demo on the webpage is limited to a dummy dataset but we are working
on a version that allows browsing dbpedia.
I look forward to get your opinion!
This is really very nice! I'm not sure such general interfaces will ever
work for all mainstream Web users, but there is a huge audience
approximated by "MS Access users" for whom this should be a good fit.
What it does remind me of (conceptually not visually), is the design
behind http://mqlx.com/~david/parallax/ in which you navigate through
sets of things rather than individuals. I wonder if you could explore
the same example 'query' in both this and Parallax (whether using
DBPedia data or Freebase data...).
cheers,
Dan
