Graphical rendering of the page graph

Various different semantic aspects of the page graph should be able to be viewed graphically.

Why is this desirable?

Some people work much better with graphical representations, and I’ve heard it called for over and over again.

How it could work, and issues

It could just be a matter of ensuring that semantic data can be exported in a form that is recognised by an existing graphing tool. The page graph is not a page, so coming into a page from the page graph does not create a backlink, but it its use is recorded in the viewing history.

Evaluation, or existing implementations

What has this kind of tool built in?

Cmaptools can show a graph with each node linked to a web page, but it is not clear how much work would be needed to do the reverse/

https://edotor.net/ looks interesting, but doesn’t seem to have labelled arcs, so doesn’t do semantic links as required above.
