On top of the fact that, ideally, VOCAL should be flexible in accepting multiple data product versions (i.e. Versions 3 and 4), it might be useful for the scientists to be able to look at the different levels of data (i.e., 2, 3,...more abstracted versions of the plot, etc.) To address this issue, we could at least mock-up alternative multi-view designs for VOCAL that display multiple plots at a time, in some way. It could facilitate sanity-checking both spatially and temporally.
