VIZ-VIVO:Towards visualizations-driven linked data navigation

We will present VIZ-VIVO, an extension for the VIVO framework that enables end-user exploration of a scholarly knowledge base through a configurable set of data-driven visualizations. Our work explores the power of visual metaphors for navigating a rich semantic network of scholarly data modeled with the VIVO-ISF ontology. We produce dynamic web pages using D3 visualizations and bridge the user experience layer with the underlying semantic triple-store layer.
