You are right that full exports aren't available. Partly because of privacy (though it's relatively easy to reverse engineer) but more to do with resources (CPU/Bandwidth/storage) We are all waiting on initiative like ResearcherID or ORCID so that authors get a unique ID. We like graphviz too - we use it (poorly!) on the "connections" page. If you come up with a (reasonably efficient) way to produce a useful graph, we can certainly look at incorporating it. You're very welcome to contact us directly. For example, we may be able to produce a custom data format feed (dot?) to suit. Fergus@citeulike Good stuff!
