I accidentally posted this in the discussions section, moving it to Q/A.

Hi guys,

I'm doing an internship where I'm tasked with working with RDF/OWL ontologies. I've converted an OWL document to JSON-LD, which then I've used to make a tree diagram which wasn't too difficult since there are resources on the net which helped quite a bit.

What I want to do now is convert the JSON-LD data to a format with I can use with the force graph layout in D3. It looks something like this:

{
  "nodes": [
    {"x": 469, "y": 410},
    {"x": 493, "y": 364},

    {"source":  7, "target":  8},
    {"source":  9, "target":  4},
    {"source":  9, "target": 11},
    {"source":  9, "target": 10},
    {"source": 10, "target": 11},
    {"source": 11, "target": 12},
    {"source": 12, "target": 10}
  ]
}


My owl ontology is available on pastebin here (in json-ld format): http://pastebin.com/g7ggDyFX[^]. If you take a peak at the context you can see that I'm modelling the ontology by the "isSubClass" property.

I know that to read json files in D3 I can use d3.json. I'm unsure how exactly to convert to the format above though.

I found this github repository https://github.com/uf6/ottograf[^] that says it should be able to convert to the format, but I'm having a lot of trouble running it, and I also want to keep it in javascript. Any tips/solutions? Thanks!
