I really like this as a (2D) starting point to try and show origins
and connections. Since one level of information can be
obtained by simply seeing the graph structure, independent
from its 'content', how about the one view using a very simple
compact shape for each node, then expand it to the full uri
when you touch the node.
This would help make the connection paths more visable
and the graph structure visually comprehensible, and may help
in locating an important link.
