Facet

Facet is a visualization. It is a piece of program code that processes a given RDF node and its context, the whole graph, and draws a visualization of a certain type.

In RDF, a facet is referenced by an IRI: this way, Linked Data can tell Iolanta how it can be visualized.

Facet Type In RDF In Code
Python based facet python://some_module.FacetClass Python class, inherited from iolanta.facets.Facet

More types are planned (1).

For now, the only facets that Iolanta supports are bundled with it.
