Re: Vocabulary browser requested

Hi Andy,

we are currently working on a RDF browser that supports user's 
understanding of available properties for further exploration. We call 
our browser gFacet because of the combination of graph-based 
visualization and faceted filtering techniques. If you are interested 
have a look at www.gFacet.org <http://www.gFacet.org>

The demo on the webpage is limited to a dummy dataset but we are working 
on a version that allows browsing dbpedia.

I look forward to get your opinion!

Cheers Phil
