Your data needs to look something like this:
{
"items": [
{ label: "Peter Pan",
...
},
...
]
}
The "label" property is required.
I'd recommend starting skimming through the basics
http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Exhibit/For_Authors
Or at least this page
http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Exhibit/Creating%2C_Importing%2C_and_Managing_Data
And then there are plenty of examples...
