Hi Jorge,
I'm glad you like Exhibit! You're one of the few who actually
understands that unobtrusiveness is strength. My work is about sneaking
semantic web technologies into people's browsers without them knowing
it. Ssshhh...
To answer your question, it's possible to have several exhibits in a
single page. You just need to write more Javascript. Look in
http://static.simile.mit.edu/exhibit/api/scripts/exhibit.js
and search for Exhibit.createAdvanced. The configuration parameter is a
little tricky. You need to call something like this:
var configurationA = {
BrowseEngine: {
facets: [ ".party", ".religion" ]
},
ViewPanel: {
views: [
{ viewClass: Exhibit.TimelineView,
label: "Terms",
start: ".term.startDate",
marker: ".religion"
}
]
}
};
var exhibitA = Exhibit.createAdvanced(
configurationA,
document.getElementById("control-panel-A"),
document.getElementById("browse-panel-A"),
document.getElementById("view-panel-A")
);
exhibitA.loadJSON(
[ "presidents.json", "vice-presidents.json", "terms.json" ],
function() {
exhibitA.setRootTypes([ "President", "Vice President" ]);
}
);
Let us know how that works out for you.
Cheers,
David
