**Describe the solution you'd like**
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
Current solution allows user to expand individuals but not classes. Feature request is to allow user to expand a class. For example if :Mike is an instance of class :Person, I can fully expand :Mike, but I cannot expand :Person to look at its neighbors. Some of those neighbors could be interesting to follow in the canvas. For example, if :Person is linked to a SHACL shape or an R2RML mapping, I might want to inspect the shape or mapping.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the existing individual-expansion flow in the TypeScript/React Graph Explorer UI and its RDF handling. Compare current class and individual behavior, then define the interaction and validation needed to expand RDF classes and inspect neighboring nodes; done means class expansion works in the canvas without regressing individual expansion.
