The framework accepts an E-R schema, a set of relational data tables, and an interface specification file, and generates a multimodal and multivariate graph and a corresponding interactive applet for viewing the graph in a web browser. We show examples for a large research organization, a visual search engine for a Wiki, and for NSF funding data.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): H.5.2 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: User Interfaces-Interaction styles I.3.6 [Computer Graphics]: Methodology and Techniques-Interaction techniques
