Browsing the topic svg

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) seems like simple and effective method for data visualization. I just noticed that Evri.com is using a great example of SVG in the form of a RDF graph. This is interesting as I have been working on a similar project, as part of a Semantic Research application.
One drawback that I’ve noticed is that SVG may be too intense on the client side, especially when dealing with large datasets or mobile applications. Performance issues are at play. To overcome this, a SVG database server may make sense to handle the relational data.
