I agree, it's currently very superficial. It would be great to recognise and show more about the specific nature of the relationships.

What kind of thing would you hope to see here? A textual summary of the relationship? Or perhaps there is more that can be done with shapes and colours in this area?

This is a rich topic and great question, one to which we should all try offer answers.

From my experience, I work with topic maps - extremely rich knowledge graphs, and an ISO 13250 standard, and I work with NLP, which entails a lot more detail than just talking about relations: they are first class citizens (subjects) in a graph, not just labeled arcs. I spoke about them here [1]
