Re: AGROVOC topic map web application

Dear Durusau-san,

Possibly I misunderstood your question concerning graphic operation.

If you did the operation on the Home page (top page) of my application, the
"click" operation didn't go anywhere.
Instead new window or tab will appear, then you can navigate the graph on
them.
Because the graph on the top page is just a screen shot of some node.
Namely it is only a clickable image.

If you want to try "vizigate" function, please do the following:

1. Search some word for example "potatoes" in English in search field and
you can get search result list.
2. Select "Potatoes" in the list and you can get the detail page of
"Potatoes".
3. In the detail page, select "Vizigate" in the menu bar and you can get a
graph on the new window or tab.
4. Then, you can select any node and navigate the graph.

Best regards,

Motomu Naito
