Demonstration of a customizable knowledge graph visualization framework

Abstract

In the context of the Semantic Web, various visualization methods and tools exist. However, suitable visualizations are highly de-pendent on individual use cases and targeted user groups. Therefore, existing solutions require modifications and adjustments to meet the de-mands of other use cases and user groups. In this demo, we present an approach for a unified framework addressing customizable visual rep-resentations of knowledge graphs. Our approach refines the commonly used steps in the visualization generation process (i.e., data access, map-ping to visual primitives, and rendering) for Semantic Web contexts. Separation of concerns for individual steps and a modular and customiz-able architecture build the foundation for a pipeline-based visualization framework. The framework enables the creation and selection of the right components for the right tasks, realizing a variety of use cases and visual representations in Semantic Web contexts
