Hi Tom and all Good news is that I'm still alive and lurking at what is going on in LLD, if not more ... "It depends what the arrow means.". Indeed! That's why with VOAF we have tried to explicit different meaning of arrows linking vocabularies. See http://labs.mondeca.com/vocab/voaf/index.html#reliesOn and following properties. I would be happy to see this vocabulary reused/criticized/augmented here. See e.g. graphics at http://labs.mondeca.com/dataset/lov/details/vocabulary_dcmitype.html http://labs.mondeca.com/dataset/lov/details/vocabulary_event.html To see different flavours of links. Actually arrows are often confusing so we decided to have a graph for in links and another for out links, and colors on the vocabularies referencing and referenced by the current vocabularies following the "meaning" of links. When a vocabulary has several different ways to be linked to the current one, it appears more that one. This is a bit suboptimal. And of course with more than 100 vocabularies now, the most popular ones such as FOAF, DC or SKOS already meet a problem of scalability of the graph ...
