This sounds closely related to a problem that I had pruned from the list that I posted: 11.a. Overview of an RDF dataset. We need better tooling for understanding the contents of a triple store. What kinds of relationships are present? What do they mean? What are the namespaces used, and their purposes? In a RDBMS this is fairly simple given an ER diagram. We need the ability to visually zoom in or out, like with google maps. David Booth
