Rails - Jun 2008 - building/editing topology diagrams - any ideas/advice?

Hi,
I''d like to build a web application that is capable of displaying &
editing
topology diagram (e.g. a network diagram with applications too).
 Effectively to have a graphically web based means of allowing a user to add
nodes & relationships to represent a topology such as the following
http://performancepointinsider.com/files/planning/planningtopology.png.  So
the model basically consists of nodes and relationships.

Any ideas/advice on how best to do this, e.g.:
Q1. Any open-source project that does something similar?
Q2. Best way of handling the graphical aspect of the application?  (e.g.
prototype, extjs, etc?)

Thanks

You might gain some inspiration from mindmeister.
