+In this section, we describe our basic visualization of RDF
+as an easily browsable hyperstructure,
+a focus+context (`Furnas 1985`_) view of the graph.
+The *focus* at any point is an RDF node, which is shown
+in the middle of the screen; the *context* is the nodes
+connected to this node, shown around the focus.

+No attempt is made at presenting the whole graph
+in a two-dimensional layout, or at avoiding overlapping lines,
+as many graph-layout algorithms do. We simply show the current
+focus in the center, the connected nodes on an ellipse around
+the center, the items connected to *those* nodes a bit further out,
+and so on [#disorientation]_.
