More, like, Simile
The clever coders over at the Simile Project (MIT) have released a new tool called “Exhibit” for visualizing and enabling dynamic interaction with data. And it’s easier to use! Like their Timeline widget, which I used to time plot the references in my dissertation, you only need basic HTML skills and some data to look at and it is relatively easy to code something up. Simple examples and the required files to roll-your-own data visualziations are provided on their Simile Widgets website. Nice.
