Without going down the full blown ZUI route just yet a simple Hasse diagram would indeed be pretty sweet. I remember thinking a few months back that this d3 example was most of the way there: http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/999346
Yup, and there are a bunch of ways you could represent it too,
Like, for a normal tree, like the fs (ignoring symlinks) you could represent parents as boxes that contained the children.
The objective here would be to map in a generic way, so that it could adapted to any dataset, and so that custom data could be easily mapped.
I think this will be very important.
suppose we have a general way to map from one poset to another.
i.e.
etc! it's probably possible to create quite a wide range of visualizations that work for different sorts of data - but I also bet there is considerable advantage from just being able to view the structure in a general way.
Also, this binding must be lazy, so that the details of some node doen't load until you zoom into it, or scroll down, or click open - or whatever.
