Its honestly fantastic to see web pages that are using XSLT, is this the most advanced app out there using it these days?
What's good about XSLT? Is its ecosystem substantially better than alternative options like simple string templating a la https://pkg.go.dev/html/template ?
Bummer, the demo app at https://kg.opendatahub.bz.it/ seems to be broken. The concept sounds like something I could use.
Can you ping me at martynas@atomgraph.com? Would be appreciated.
Graphs are great for querying drawing a query can really help explaining what you really want. But for results visualization as soon as you reach the hundredish nodes it becomes unbearable. There are tricks used by crime analyzis software for example where results are grouped in different nodes that can make it easier, but that's only good for when you don't have too many node types.

What is the use-case for this software? From the README: > We are building LinkedDataHub primarily for: > researchers who need an RDF-native notebook that can consume and collect Linked Data and SPARQL documents and follows the FAIR principles I would be interested in reading a user story of a few paragraphs about how this works. I don't know anyone working with RDF or SPARQL documents, but I'm curious about these te…
So I don’t personally have many use cases for RDF-type data, but I plan on implementing RDF data endpoints in a music library app I’m building. I suppose RDF thrives in the academic space, whereas userspace suffers from a chicken and egg type problem. There aren’t many common services available that have public RDF endpoints, so few applications using them get built. Edit: I suppose that’s what LinkedDatHub provides…
What kind of data are you looking to transform?
In my ears, knowledge graph sounds a bit grandiloquent. I do not have a definition, but I know that when talking about knowledge as it is embodied in people, it's quite a subtle thing, hard to formalize and to be honest, something relatively rare. Why can we just call these things fact databases? Add. Knowledge evokes a lot of other associations as well, for example that what we are able to know changes over time. Th…

A Knowledge Graph is the data in the database, not the tech. You can absolutely implement this in a RDBMS. There are some advantages to a proper graph database though. But SPARQL is a dead-end - I don't think anyone is really using that in practice outside a dew public demonstration apps. To a large extent this is true of RDF too: triples are useful, RDF gets in the way.
We participated in a huge RfP for a pharma company which planned RDF KG infrastructure for the next couple of years with 500 billion triple capabilities.
Biomedical, finance, defence, automotive -- all of those industries are using RDF/SPARQL. Just because your problems are not big or complex enough doesn't mean this tech is not used. It takes a certain organization size for Knowledge Graphs to make sense and pay off, that's why most industry users are Fortune 500-level companies.

XSLT is wildly more than a templating engine. It can (and has) been used to e.g. specify a protocol and generate software based on it. See XCB for an example. With a sufficiently large corpus you can run queries on XML and generate arbitrary media. As with most overbearingly flexible technology, it's an incredible pain in the ass to use efficiently, and XSLT processors tend to be plagued with complexity and concomita…

Mh... I'm an org-roam (org-mode/Emacs) user, witch have a similar feature and... I find such visualization honestly sugar-eye and useless. Network analysis of notes links is fascinating, but must be actionable in some way, just having a UI means nothing. Also most noting tools miserably fails to really offer "easy atomic notes that can be combined (transcluded) and splitted as the user wish", some try structured ways…
