✦ Synopsis

a b s t r a c t

Although pictorial renditions of statistical data are ubiquitous, few techniques and standards exist to exchange, search and query these graphical representations. We present several improvements to human-graph interaction including (i) a new approach to manage statistical graph knowledge by semantic annotation of graphs that bridges the gap between Web 2.0 social tagging and formal, logic-based approaches, (ii) knowledge management and discovery across a non-trivial graph knowledge base and (iii) sophisticated question answering that requires background knowledge.
