Hi Maria,
Happy to see you're compiling a survey of topics & tools.  May I suggest adding 
a category called "Linked Data Frameworks" (a peer to Linked Data Browsers).  

For example, in the Linked Data Frameworks category it may include: Callimachus 
Open Source, OpenLink Software's Virtuoso Open-Source Edition and TopBraid 
Composer, and others. Note, I don't think these products are direct 
competitors, rather a class of enterprise products that build on Linked Data.  
I'll leave it to the respective companies to describe their products.  

I'm involved with the Callimachus Open Source Project.  Callimachus allows Web 
developers to build applications on Linked Data from your Web browser. [1]   
The Callimachus Project is being used for Linked Data projects within federal 
government, healthcare, pharma, publishing and research.[2]   Visualizations 
supported by Callimachus include Google Chart Tools, D3.js visualizations, 
JQuery plug-ins such as DataTables and others.

Thanks for your consideration of adding a possible new category & this OS 
project.  We look forward to seeing the final survey if you publish it to the 
list!

Cheers,
Bernadette Hyland

PS.  A new book called "Linked Data: Structured data on the Web".  It is 
intended to help educate Web developers & practitioners on the use of Linked 
Data, including visualizations. Authors include: D. Wood, M. Zaidman, L. Ruth 
and M. Hausenblas.  It will be available in soft back in June 2013. The first 
chapter if free & gives a good overview.  See http://www.manning.com/dwood/
