Nowadays the web is composed of huge, complex, and heterogeneous datasets. Making sense of this huge amount of data is challenging. Two emerging technologies developed to solve this issue namely, Linked Data, and Visual Analytics. Linked Data provides structured data over the web. Structured data are understandable by machines therefore smart queries, automated visualization, and linked between different datasets over the web might be possible. On the other hand, Visual Analytics amplify analyst cognitive ability by providing data analysis process enhanced with interactive visualization. In our project, we are aiming to integrate these two technologies to provide a powerful Visual Analytics System.
