RDF Graph Visualization Tools: a Survey

Semantic Web technologies are increasingly being used for the development of Future Internet applications, mainly due to the impressive growth of the Internet of Things research area. This spread pushes for effective and efficient ways to visualize the content of RDF ontologies and knowledge bases. Several strategies can be adopted to visualize semantic data and one of this consists in exploiting the graph representation intrinsic in the RDF model. In this paper, we propose a survey of the main tools for the graphical visualization of triples (being them terminological or assertional statements) exploiting a graph representation.
