What do you mean by this? The default layout for Data Graphs has the Search panel on the left and the Form panel on the right. > Does the search perhaps rely on generating shapes for every class and > property? The search panel is indeed shapes-based. It will show subclasses of the root class. They need to be typed as *both* Class and as NodeShape. New classes created in the EDG ontology editor have these types, but if your ontology came in via a different route it may not have them. If the Form panel works for you as you expect, then you already have the required shapes for your properties. Typically, the shapes would be in the Ontology that the Data Graph is based on. When working with ontologies from a third party source, it is often reasonable to have a graph with the original ontology (perhaps kept as a static file in the workspace) and an EDG ontology that includes the original and adds shape statements to make it work with EDG. > I am having hard time understanding what you are talking about.

There is a “gear menu” in the top right corner of the Instances pane. It has a checkbox for “Return local results only”. Do you have that checked perchance? > there are good reasons not to munge everything into a single graph. Agreed.
