Though there is always Semantic MediaWiki.
But something like that could always be created as an extension.
True, Semantic MediaWiki supports OWL/RDF output, and RDF is (almost) a
graph-based language. So that would be a format for encoding and exchanging
graphs. The next thing is to find an application that displays them, and
AFAIK there are a few projects that provide such functions (related to RDF,
not to Semantic MediaWiki directly). Many RDF-Browsers have some very basic
visualisation functions.
Anyway, my experience is that most graphs with more than 20 nodes just do not
support nice visual layouting. Graph visualisation features typically are
requested a lot, featured on many demos and screenshots, but hardly used in
practice as soon as the data gets beyond toy size ;-). I do not see graph
layouts on many social networking platforms either (though of course certain
special kinds of graphs would work slightly better than general graphs).

If you have resources I'm always up for interesting projects.
