The RDF guys (OpenLink in particular) are integrating with Microsoft PivotViewer to provide exactly that level of "wow" in visualization you're after.  If you haven't already seen the TED talk or the technology, it's worth a view: http://www.ted.com/talks/gary_flake_is_pivot_a_turning_point_for_web_exploration.html

I hope Kal and Graham have something in the works to be able to surface Topic Maps through NetworkPlanet software and PivotViewer.  If not, I think we need to get some UX people sold on Topic Maps and quickly... ;)

Cheers,
