Re: HCLS - visualization task force?

Hi all, it was indeed an interesting meeting. Definitely the topic is
really interesting, here is a nice review paper about visualizing linked
data:

Semantic Web 2 (2011) 89–124 89 DOI 10.3233/SW-2011-0037
IOS Press

Approaches to visualising Linked Data: A survey

Editor(s): Krzysztof Janowicz, Pennsylvania State University, USA
Solicited review(s): Anthony Robinson, Pennsylvania State University, USA;
Sarven Capadisli, National University of Ireland, Ireland

Aba-Sah Dadzie a,* and Matthew Rowe b

I will circulate the use cases (over the weekend) and some other info that
I have gathered; also, I have relfinder, visor and sig.ma (not sure about
this last one because my server crashed a month ago and sig.ma is no longer
available for the general community to download), I will share those links
as well.

Best.
