Diagram (graph drawing) enhancements

[jmvanel]

Regarding graphical graph representations, we currently have integrated RDFViewer http://github.com/jimmccusker/rdfviewer in semantic_forms .
In http://ldp.virtual-assembly.org:9111/display?displayuri=http%3A%2F%2Fjmvanel.free.fr%2Fjmv.rdf%23me&Display=Afficher
click on the "3 cherries" button to see the diagram .
But RDFViewer is centered on a single URI, and does not have the possibility to expand URI's like LODLive.

We could probably integrate LODLive UI into semantic_forms, like we did with RDFViewer.
But the ideal would to merge features, and be able to configurate them!
Here are the features that are missing on LODLive:
Features present in RDViewer

• by default the given URI should be expanded
• the "tree trunk" factorization for multi-valued properties like foaf:knows saves screen space
• the UML like box for datatype properties values is convenient

Other features not present in RDViewer

• select nodes by mouse by rectangular zone or lasso, and then move copy, or delete
• mode to edit and create nodes
• D'n'D capabilities with D'n'D content negociation (TTL, JSON-LD, RDF/XML ).

One thing that is not clear to me is the role of SPARQL in LodLive.
I just forked LodLive. I saw that it's dependant on jquery-ui ( also used in semantic_forms for dbPedia lookup completion ). RDFViewer is based on D3JS.

I added 3 issues to rdfviewer one year ago:
https://github.com/jimmccusker/rdfviewer/issues
but no response :(

RDF viewer will have to be refactored to use RDF-ext library , like in geo-maps/ in SF ;
this we enable viewing data from locahost.
