Hiveplots

[nrbgt]

It would be interesting to experiment with hiveplots. These have the advantage over (even deterministic) hairball diagrams in that they have a stable shape, and can be compared visually.

use case

as a new user of an ontology, i'd like to understand the class hierarchy and use of predicates

For example, with the schema.org examples, one might want a:

• a0: an axis of types
• a1: an axis of subtypes
• a2: an axis of predicates

with:

• a1 -> a0 for subclassOf
• a1 -> a2 for range of predicate
• a2 -> a0 for domain of domain

implementation ideas

There is hive_networkx, and presumably one could reuse everything except the matplotlib and drive it off datashader (maybe a pain to get the axis lines in 🤷 ).

This would extend the existing stuff, and provide a query/graph/etc to determine the axes to which each thing belongs.
