SemLens is a tool for visualizing and analyzing RDF data developed as part of the Visual Data Web toolset and based on the Adobe Flex open source framework. Using SPARQL to access the user's dataset, it arranges RDF data into a scatter plot which can be analyzed via semantic lenses generated based on the dataset, and with logical operators. The tool provides a global overview of the user's dataset, and can do so even for large datasets.
