Hello all,

Only two days of birthday announcements remaining, and today's a pretty cool one :)

We integrated the *graph builder tool into the query service*. It's a lightweight tableau-style interface for visual analysis, built on Vega-lite http://vega.github.io/polestar/, that's allows you to create and personalize your graph, based on the query results. Once it's done, you can also integrate it in Wikidata or Wikipedia, using the graph extension https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Graph!

For now, the tool encounter some problems in Firefox, but works well with Chrome or Chromium. We'll try to fix is as soon as possible. Thanks a lot to Jonas and Smalyshev for your work!

Check out the demo video https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WDQS_GUI_graph_builder_demo.webm to see how it works, and try it with your favorite query ;)

The story of the day has been shared by Denny. *Everything starts when you click on the "random item" link https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2016-May/008711.html...*
