All,

Circa. 2014, we shouldn't be depending on any piece of platform specific technology to create a graphical representation of datasets across the entire LOD cloud, or specific sub segments of said cloud.

We should be able to generate graphical representations that include the following fundamental features:

1. graph visualization
2. live hyperlinks of URIs that denote the cloud data sets.

Why? You end up with yet another beachhead for Linked Data follow-your-nose pattern.

Whenever we produce output with non existent or blurry access to HTTP URIs that denote entities (documents, agents, or other entity types) with inadvertently missed a powerful opportunity to showcase the basic Linked Open Data principles value proposition.

Also what applies to this specific scenario also applies to any other resource published on the LOD banner.

Shortcut:

Find a visualization tool that can process CSV ouptput.
Feed it SPARQL URL for a solution where the output format is CSV.
Done.
