Hi: I wondered what people think of using QNames for properties in (especially) SVG graphics and tucking away the URIs into XLinks. See: http://www2.elsevier.co.uk/~tony/cookbook/ Resource URIs are also truncated (but linked), as are literals. This allows for more detail to be compressed into a single screen shot. As an example the "Extended Article" SVG is much easier to read than if it had been decorated with full-blown URIs. Would be neat if some of the other GraphViz-based tools (Validator, IsaViz, etc) supported an option to render in this more compressed form. Seems to me that the property URIs are not of primary interest to the *human* reader but instead deflect attention from the main subject matter. Tony ps/ In case you need it: Get the Adobe Plugin <http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/> to view the SVG. To drag image: ALT + <left-mouse-button> and use the cursor to position. To zoom either click on the <right-mouse-button>, or press CTRL to zoom in, CTRL-SHIFT to zoom out.
