Abstract:
Being aware of the relationships that exist between objects of interest is crucial in many situations. The RelFinder user interface helps to get an overview: Even large amounts of relationships can be visualized, filtered, and analyzed by the user. Common concepts of knowledge representation are exploited in order to support interactive exploration both on the level of global filters and single relationships. The RelFinder is easy-to-use and works on every RDF knowledge base that provides standardized SPARQL access
Software: RelFinder
RelFinder presents a way to leverage data already in RDF for the creation of associations in topic maps.
Or to explore data already available in RDF.
Exploration of relationships is important for “data” but even more important for the syntaxes that contain data.
Such as equivalence between subjects represented by syntax tokens.
