With gFacet we introduce a new approach to browsing RDF data by combining graph-based visualization with faceted filtering techniques. The graph-based visualization of facets supports the integration of different domains and an efficient exploration of highly structured and interrelated datasets. It allows to access information from distant user-defined perspectives and thereby enables the exploration beyond the borders of Web pages.

Experience gFacet by an Interactive Demo or by watching a Screencast (get the avi-file here).

Both use DBpedia's SPARQL endpoint to access information that is extracted from Wikipedia.
