The screenshot above is from foafNaut, an SVG project that allows you to find friends of friends in a visual environment. Each person is represented by a red and green shape. At the top and bottom of each is a plus sign and a minus sign respectively, which can be used to expand or contract the display of that persons circle of friends. This users circle is already expanded so the top space shows a "0".
The Fat Cats project displays the interconnectedness between corporations and their boards of directors in a visual environment. This screenshot, from Fat Cats, gives us a glimpse of the type of cats we can see in the SVG demo. The smallest cat is a yellow tabby on the right, while the largest is a big brown tom-cat, also visible is a glimpse of an medium sized orange cat. The size of the cat indicates the number of boards that person sits on within the corporations listed in the fatcats system. Each cat is equipped with four colored circles, green expands that cats connections, blue opens the rdf data behind the display, orange performs a Google search on the person, and red hides the cat.
