Michael, Note the following messages from the recent history of this Exhibit/Timeline mailing list. Comments welcome. Tim C -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Visualisation in Exhibit Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2007 22:45:09 -0400 From: David Huynh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: General List <[email protected]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], General List <[email protected]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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. Thank you for those links. Michael Friendly's work looks very sophisticated. I wonder how they can be offered in such a way that non-scientists can still benefit from them. Given a data set, it is not always obvious which visualization method to choose.
