LD-VOWL: Visualizing Linked Data Endpoints
VOWL Specification »LD-VOWL extracts schema information from Linked Data endpoints and visualizes the extracted information using the VOWL notation. SPARQL queries are used to infer the schema information from the endpoint's data, which is then gradually added to an interactive VOWL graph visualization.
