Not yet, but the upcoming SMW 0.7 will have a much better support for browsing the semantic data of the wiki. If you consider more graphical browsers, we would be interested to see the result of your work (and maybe also to make it part of SMW if feasible). IkeWiki has a nice little graph-browser integrated that you could look at. Anyway, I have not been impressed by graphical RDF or OWL browsing tools yet. They tend to be a much more requested than they are eventually used -- probably because they don't scale very well to larger amounts of data.
