Vega support for Chart editor/view #236

Open mdeagen opened 4 years ago

mdeagen commented 4 years ago

This issue was discussed informally a while ago, but the SPARQL/Vega editor should support both Vega and Vega-Lite specifications. The type of specification is included in the $schema field of the specification.

The bug is that, if a Vega specification is inserted as the spec, the chart preview displays the text "Invalid Vega-Lite specification."

Vega support will enable more complex viz capabilities such as network/tree diagrams, isocontour plots, word clouds, etc.

I think the complication with this is that data is handled slightly differently between the two, and data transformations are a lot more common in Vega.

In that case, it would probably make sense to have a separate view for nm:VegaChart that would supersede the default view for sio:Chart (nm:VegaLiteChart).

Would be nice-to-have, but there are other resource views that should be prioritized above this (like sio:BibliographicResource).
