  1. Populating the UI • This section describes the ‘middle tier’ that sits between the 3Store and the UI code. • Handles UI actions such as moving and inserting columns. • Forms the queries to get the information to populate the UI. • Formats returned data and pushes it into the UI. • Allows the representation of arbitrary RDF data through generalisation functions.

  2. Getting Data • RDF Data Query Language (RDQL) used to get data from the 3Store. • RDQL query matches against the RDF graph • Returns requested variables • Results are returned as XML • This data is traversed and placed into the client side data model.

  3. Generalisation • Early work involved creation of a music-specific system, with a view to generalisation in future. • Full generalisation is implemented. • Our system can be quickly and easily be used to visualise other RDF data via some simple configuration changes.

  4. Power Assist • Assistance to the user in identifying trends in their favourites selections. Takes two forms: • ‘Power Assist’ button. Reorganises the column layout, potentially showing previously unused ones, and selects items based on their potential interest. • Item highlighting. This highlights items in each column based on their potential for interest.

  5. Progress • Relatively little functionality has changed. • Code has undergone significant refactoring. • Greatly eases changes to the code. • Method performing queries rewritten to allow for future performance enhancements. • Enhancements to the Power Assist algorithm.

  6. Future Work • Work is being undertaken on this section beyond the current project. • This includes: • Enhancing the parse speed for returned data. • Further enhancements to the Power Assist algorithm. • Improvements to the Preview Cue algorithm. • Rewriting the core code in other languages.
