Document stance on visualization #3165
Description
Summary
It should be documented if there is support in RDFLib for visualization. If there is no support, then link to 3rd party packages that can work with RDFLib objects. If there are no such packages, then mention packages (networkx, matplotlib) that could be used in custom visualization implementations.
Research on mentions of visualization
visualisation is an interesting and useful thing
This is the motivation for this issue.
It is unlikely that any pull request that adds graphviz or any number of other visualization/graph libraries as a core dependency will be accepted.
This is a good explanation of why there will be no core support of visualization (and this should be documented). Follow-up discussion: supporting visualization with optional dependencies (as was mentioned there as well).
- How can I generate a turtle file containing Quoted Triples using rdflib? #2795 (reply in thread) says
There are now many rdf visualization tools that support rdf star syntax
The mentioned 3rd party services (https://issemantic.net/rdf-visualizer in this case) might be handy for quick checks, but there should be 3rd party Python packages that enable custom and more automated visualizations.
