Yes, excellent suggestion. It crossed my mind but I forgot to try it - what I had before this was so bad that this liked very good to me! The value of fresh eyes is clear.
Thanks again. BTW did you see the version of Cnut with images? Nothing fancy, but shows where this can start to look understandable.
I did see pics of Cnut & co yes (double-checks spelling) but they are very small on my system
Cool. You can pan (click drag on background) and zoom (pinch on touch screen/pad - can’t remember for mouse but probably a shift drag or some button combo - be useful to know if it works with a regular mouse).
I’ve made lots of improvements to the SPARQL interrogator, including @JPL’s very sensible suggestion to only show the custom query input when you select that option from the list.
Most of the improvements are in detecting things more reliably, and providing better quality and more detailed information on what has been detected.
I also changed the style of the table.
I’m not sure anyone discovered that you can get more information by hovering over the (i) symbol, or the Ttl, XML, HTML, CSV, JSON in the results?
Anyway, if you are interested enough to have another go please do and report back.

Aesthetics rather than content… without JavaScript enabled it’s a blank screen. Good control of scripts welcomes a simple prompt to enable those.
Also there are options for collapsible tables… on a mobile looks like
Thanks very much David, useful points. I confess I’m not paying much attention to aesthetics but still welcome the feedback on all aspects.
Aesthetics wise the move from rounded cells to square ones pulls it out of the 70s and straight into the 80s…
But seriously @happybeing this is good stuff. I do find it strange that the semantic web, for so long (since 1999) touted as the logical next step of interconnected information, seemingly has so few advocates for making itself approachable and understandable.
Maybe I’m being a bit harsh, but I’d have expected more progress given the goodwill and intellectual firepower. Academia can be too comfortable a place sometimes.
Fantastic, I may have overshot.
This is an area I would welcome help with if anyone fancies having a go. Svelte makes it quite easy to play with so get in touch in you want to help save people from injury as they physically recoil from the screen.

One suggestion is that the good stuff is behind corporate doors and Joe public only gets to use free rubbish. There may be something in that, I don’t know, but at least it gives me something to do.
I’ve identified 773 unique SPARQL endpoints from a variety of sources and used the SPARQL interrogator part of Visualisation Lab to test them out.

Let me know if useful!
