Abstract. Providing easy to use methods for visual analysis of Linked Data is often hindered by the complexity of semantic technologies. On the other hand, semantic information inherent to Linked Data provides opportunities to support the user in interactively analysing the data. This paper provides a demonstration of an interactive, Web-based visualisa-tion tool, the “Vis Wizard”, which makes use of semantics to simplify the process of setting up visualisations, transforming the data and, most im-portantly, interactively analysing multiple datasets using brushing and linking methods. 1
