James,
This is cool. The integration between Wikipedia and Wikidata is really
smooth and useful. I wonder if you could let users do Wikidata editing
right in context rather than having them have to find the link on the top
there and jump out of the app and into the editor ? There might be simple
wikidata-game type tasks that would be easy to display and execute if a
full-blown editor is out of scope.
This is highly related to an application that we are developing for
interrogating large knowledge graphs. It currently runs on top of a
database of triples extracted automatically from the text of abstracts from
biomedical journal articles, but we are planning to open it up to include
wikidata and many other sources in its next incarnation. The current live
version is written in python-django/mysql (source
. The development version is being redone in Java
using many of the same technologies you are using. Would be cool if we
could somehow join forces.. (I cc'd Richard, the main developer on the
project). I will post a link to the source code when the first build of
the java version is ready.

Fellow Wikidata enthusiasts,
In answer to questions about the purposes for ConceptMap (live at
http://ConceptMap.io), I've expanded the blog post and updated the
video. Here is the updated blog post:
http://learnjavafx.typepad.com/weblog/2016/01/brief-demo-of-conceptmap-v11-…
Also, for your convenience, here is a link to the updated video, as well
as the additional text in the post. I'd appreciate any continued input and
questions that you have:

One of the core features of ConceptMap is the synchronized navigation
between Wikipedia articles and their Wikidata semantic relationships. In
the brief video, for example, the Wikipedia article named "David Bowie" is
displayed in the rightmost panel. The semantic relationships defined
in Wikidata for David Bowie (whose Wikidata identifier is "Q5383") are
displayed in the center panel. The user can see the items related to David
Bowie (e.g. All the Young Dudes), as well as the relevant Wikidata
properties (e.g. performer). When the user clicks on a related item, the
Wikipedia article for that item appears in the rightmost panel.
Conversely, when the user clicks an article link in a Wikipedia page, the
center panel is updated to show the relationships defined in the Wikidata
item corresponding to that article. This synchronized navigation feature
enables the user to explore areas of interest using an approach that
combines structured (Wikidata relationships) and freeform (Wikipedia links)
navigation.
Another core feature of ConceptMap is the dynamically created directed
graph in the leftmost panel. When a Wikipedia article is displayed and its
corresponding Wikidata item appears in the title area, the "Pin item"
checkbox may be used to pin/unpin the item from the concept map. Each of
the pinned items appear as labeled circles (nodes) in the concept map. As
items are added to the graph, relationships from Wikidata are displayed as
labeled lines (links) between the nodes.
As shown in the video, the Wikidata icon in the upper right portion of the
page opens the Wikidata page for the selected item. This is useful for
adding missing relationships to Wikidata, as shown in the video when adding
"space rock" to the list of genres for his song entitled Space Oddity. To
share or bookmark a concept map, click the button with the link icon as
shown in the video. A shortened URL appears that you can copy.
In future posts I plan to share details of the technologies and code
involved in creating this application. In the meantime, whether you are
a learner, researcher, teacher, or all of the above, I hope that you'll
take it for a spin!
Regards,
James Weaver

I was able to do a mind map like thing with it. Since some connectio
where missing in WD.I added them, so it helps people improve WD.
