Re: software to draw RDF graph diagrams

Nice tool!

Regarding the JSON configuration, given that we have a number of 
different tools for automatically or semi-automatically rendering 
RDF/OWL graphs in GraphViz, D3, etc, are other people interested in 
coming up with a minimal standard for configuring displays?

For example, maybe we want to render instances of particular types with 
a given color or shape, or show particular predicates using particular 
edge glyphs

As as strawman, this is a brief description of the JSON stylesheet 
'language' I use in my ontology visualization tools:
https://github.com/cmungall/obographviz#stylesheets

It's probably overfitted towards my own use cases, but I post here for 
any inspiration.
