In the last years, the amount of semantic data available in the Web has increased dramatically. The potential of this vast amount of data is enormous but in most cases it is very difficult for users to explore and use this data, especially for those without experience with Semantic Web technologies. Applying information visualization techniques to the Semantic Web helps users to easily explore large amounts of data and interact with them. In this article we devise a formal Linked Data

We report about our comprehensive implementation of the LDVM comprising a library of generic visualizations that enable both users and data analysts to get an overview on, visualize and explore the Data Web and perform detailed analyzes on Linked Data. We would like to thank our colleagues from the GRIHO, XRG and AKSW research groups for their helpful comments and inspiring discussions during the development of LDVM.
