“…Representing a sub-category of perceptualization, visualization is an advanced form of high-bandwidth communication that transcends domain-speci"c and technological boundaries (De Fanti, Brown & McCormick 1989). It can be de"ned as the mapping from some base data set into a representation suitable for visual analysis and communication with the user (Chi, Pitkow, Mackinlay, Pirolli, Gossweiler & Card, 1998).…”

“…For humans, however, the same objective is highly cumbersome and demands experience and expert understanding [3]. Software tools have been developed that alleviate this drawback, hiding the technical low-level syntactical and structural details and offering a graphical visualization interactive environment.…”

The Semantic Web (SW) is an extension to the current Web, enhancing the available information with semantics. RDF, one of the most prominent standards for representing meaning in the SW, offers a data model for referring to objects and their interrelations. Managing RDF documents, however, is a task that demands experience and expert understanding. Tools have been developed that alleviate this drawback and offer an interactive graphical visualization environment. This paper studies the visualization of RDF documents, a domain that exhibits many applications. The most prominent approaches are presented and a novel graph-based visualization software application is also demonstrated.

“…From the earliest writings, the insight derived from visualization, and hence its purposes, manifests itself in four forms: (1) Discovery, (2) Understanding, (3) Communication, and (4) Education [24,9,26]. These may be collapsed into two general purposes: (1) Discovery and (2) Explanation.…”

“…Thus, conceptualizations of the one field have helped to illuminate the other. Scholars point to a 1987 coining of visualization in the sense used by this community [12,9,21]. This was in a report funded by the National Science Foundation (USA) entitled: Visualization in Scientific Computing [24].…”
