Visualizing the Semantic Web

It’s been almost one year since I finished my bachelor thesis “Information Visualization in the Semantic Web”. Still being an abstract and scientific topic, the Semantic Web needs tools for the masses to get going. While looking for the best tools out there, I discovered various visualization techniques that can be applied on structured (semantic) data.

If you speak german, you can scroll through that paper question.
For those who don’t and those lazy folks here’s just a list of tools, which attracted my attention:

JIT - JavaScript Information Visualization Toolkit

I just found out that Nicolas Garcia Belmonte (he was mentioned in the paper as the creator of the Javascript Hyperbolic Browser) combined his scripts to the so great JavaScript Information Visualization Toolkit.

My favorite visualization out of that toolkit, the RGraph is simply impressive.

Now I’m totally excited about creating Visualizations in Javascript. Thus I’ll definitely have a look at John Resig’s Processing.js too.

Being my pet subject I’m still playing around with Semantic Web technologies, currently working on a Ruby API for accessing Freebase.com. I’ll keep you posted about that thing.
