I have found it very hard to display anything beyond toy graphs in a way that is very useful. "Concise bounded descriptions" can be useful, though they often require some knowledge of the data structures. By contrast, displaying a graph in a notebook should be fairly straightforward. If all else fails, you could write the graphic output to a file and display the file in a notebook page. Once you have that working, and more important, have made good progress in how to display a helpful graph of a complex RDF data set, we'd all want to see it right away!
