Iolanta: Linked Data visualization system

Open anatoly-scherbakov opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

As a Linked Data user, I want to write Linked Data easily So that I can subsequently get the visual form.

I am building a tool for Linked Data visualization accessible at https://iolanta.tech. The front page shows a few examples: you write YAML markup, and Iolanta converts it to visual forms. At this point, two visualization plugins are available: tables and roadmaps (the latter lacks documentation at the moment; all this stuff is a Work In Progress).

Iolanta integrates with other systems, for instance, as shown at https://mkdocs.iolanta.tech, it works with MkDocs static site generator. Thus, the user can easily embed Iolanta visualizations into their MkDocs site.

YAML-LD is the primary input format for Iolanta: I would like non-professionals to write Linked Data that Iolanta can consume, and I know of no better way to achieve that goal than YAML-LD.

I have also composed a document describing how Iolanta works internally: https://iolanta.tech/project/whitepaper/

I am looking forward to feedback from the community. Any thoughts on whether this project might be of use to you in your work? Thank you!
