Welcome to Visualbox!
What is this?
Visualbox allows you to create visualizations based on Linked Open Data. The goal of Visualbox is to facilitate the creation of visualization without the need to learn Javascript libraries. You do need to know a bit of SPARQL and some notions of HTML though.
Visualbox is a simplified version of LODSPeaKr, a framework to create Linked Data-based applications.
