3D Graph Tool


This web-based tool helps explore graph data by turning it into interactive 3D force-directed graphs. Built with the React Force Graph library by Vasturiano, it supports importing graph data in formats like JSON, JSON-LD, and TTL. Users can zoom, pan, filter, and inspect nodes in the graph. TTL files are automatically converted to JSON-LD using Frogcat's Turtle to JSON-LD converter.

GSQ uses this tool as a visual aid for developing knowledge graphs. For more insights, check out the UQ/GSQ Webinar on knowledge graphs. The tool's codebase is open-source and available on the project's GitHub repository for those who want to customize or learn more about it. Feedback from the community is encouraged to help improve its features.

Please note that this tool is provided "as-is," with no support or warranty. Since it is still in development, occasional bugs or issues may occur. The GSQ Labs source code can be downloaded from GitHub and run locally if needed. For more details, refer to the disclaimer.
