    entities. There is a heuristic in the D2JS thingy which defines
    "entity groups", i.e. subsets of entities that "belong" together
    (possibly by removing lookup entities and ordering by number of
    inbound/outbound relationships) which *might* be of help to make this
    mess a bit cleaner.

    So this looks like:




    The 0:58:33 GraphViz version looks like:




    Which is at least a bit more readable (although it's still a mess).
    It's based on D2W, so you should be able to call it with
    ERD2WDirectAction as

      http://bla/cgi-bin/WebObjects/myapp.woa/wa/GraphVizSomeSetting

    and (halfway easily) configure the entities to show. DO NOT ASK ME
    HOW! Look at ERD2WGraphVizPage and adapt/extend/whatever it yourself.
