Well, SHIC is like Dewey Decimal for societal context, but I don't think
there are any compelling visualisations based on it. What it would be
nice to point to is something like the ICONCLASS Browser:

but I'm afraid you'll just have to imagine that. Meanwhile, many
museums have classified many objects using SHIC, so there are definitely
possibilities if that work can be harnessed.
