Using Clusters in RDF Visualization

Clustered graph visualization techniques are an easy to understand way of hiding complex parts of a visualized graph when they are not needed by the user. When visualizing RDF, there are several situations where such clusters are defined in a very natural way. Using this techniques, we can give the user optional access to some detailed information without unnecessarily occupying space in the basic view of the data. This paper describes algorithms for clustered visualization used in the Trisolda RDF visualizer. Most notable is the newly added clustered navigation technique.
