基于图的刻面RDF数据探索

With gFacet we develop a new Adobe Flex tool to browsing RDF data that is accessible via arbitrary SPARQL endpoints (e.g. DBpedia) by combining graph-based visualization with faceted filtering techniques. The graph-based visualization of facets supports the integration of different domains and an efficient exploration of highly structured and interrelated datasets. It allows to access information from distant user-defined perspectives and thereby enables the exploration beyond the borders of Web pages. A first version of gFacet can be experienced at http://gfacet.visualdataweb.org. To compile the gFacet code you need Flex SDK 3.4 as available at: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+3.
