Support for authoring visualizations #43

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

A key part of data management is visualization.  People should be able to 
create their own visualizations of the data they create.   David Huynh (now at 
Google) wrote a great open source javascript library 
(http://simile-widgets.org/exhibit ) that lets people author rich interactive 
visualizations of the kind of data that datawiki aims to collect.  We 
integrated that framework into Semantic Mediawiki, the closest competitor I 
know to datawiki.  You can see an example at 
http://projects.csail.mit.edu/wibit/ .  Because exhibit is just a client-side 
javascript library, integration was simple.  I think it would add value to 
incorporate this visualization library into datawiki.   We're too low on 
manpower to be able to tackle this ourselves but I'd be happy to help someone 
else do it.
