I'm not sure if that's a real problem with a concrete Web App. Linked Data visualization is only a problem if you first believe Linked Data is the solution to your problem.

It would be great if a list of these Linked Data (AJAR I remember TimBL saying) were kept on a wiki page somewhere! > Kingsley > > > On Wed, Apr 3, 2013 at 11:47 PM, Kingsley Idehen > <kide...@openlinksw.com>wrote: > >> On 4/3/13 5:32 PM, Hugh Glaser wrote: >> >>> Because it is. :-) >>> >>> Along with Kingsley's Crime #2 Against Linked Data, I think this is >>> Crime #1 Against Linked Data. >>> (It is the other side of what Kingsley would possibly call the "value >>> chain".) >>> >>> Someone spent a lot of effort creating and publishing the data you are >>> consuming. >>> And went to the effort of making it easy for you by publishing it as >>> Linked Data. >>> OK, if you are just doing a bit of republishing, maybe there isn't much >>> point, but if you have done anything of interest, and especially if you >>> have added any knowledge, let other people consume the fruits of your >>> labours as easily as the people you got the stuff from made it for you. >>> You clearly know about Linked Data, because you are consuming it, so it >>> shouldn't be that hard for you (OK, maybe we need to make it easier!). >>> >>> And never think that the stuff you were publishing isn't interesting for >>> someone else to consume! >>> If everyone thought like that we wouldn't have any Linked Data at all. >>> >>> Crime #3 Against Linked Data? >>> Using a string to identify a resource, because "nobody would want to >>> make a statement about that". >>> >>> Cheers >>> Hugh >>> >>> >>> >> Amen!! >> >> -- >> >> Regards, >> >> Kingsley Idehen >> Founder & CEO >> OpenLink Software >> Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com >> Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen >> Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen >> Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about >> LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen >> >> >> >> >> >> > > > -- > > Regards, > > Kingsley Idehen > Founder & CEO > OpenLink Software > Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com > Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen > Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen > Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about > LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen > > > >
