Re: HCLS - visualization task force?

Totally agree, Thanks Lena.

Sorry I was not able to join the call today.

It's something I've been thinking about with respect to the work we did on the TMO/TMKB. How do we demonstrate beyond sparql queries?

In addition to a Semantic Web Journal review article [2], is anybody aware of comprehensive lists of use-cases for human computer interaction with semantic web data (e.g. browse, search, query, discovery)?

Please reply indicating your interest.
