Tim, Although data visualization and browsing facilities are not the primary d'etre for Exhibit, they are some of the primary lures and baits that Exhibit uses to get more structured data on the Web. So, it's hard to separate data visualization and browsing from Exhibit.

Given a data set, it is not always obvious which visualization method to choose.
