Idea: visualization patterns #17

Each design pattern could come with 'visualisation patterns'. Some kind of analog of style sheets that provide hints on the best way to show term graphs.

As a guiding example consider the lattice: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/GTerm?id=GO:0099638#term=ancchart

A generic improvement would be to unfold one or more steps and show graphs for each class expression. See this repo for examples: https://github.com/cmungall/multi-axial-ontology-test

But different DPs could have specific guidance or code. For example, for a transport DP, we can imagine cell maps with an arrow connecting source to target, with the edge labeled with the cargo.
