Hi Ryan,

I go to view your Exhibit with IE7 and it comes up with this error:

Caught exception: undefined
Details: Object doesn't support this property or method.

It's a nice photo of Fenway Park though and the facets appear!

Cheers
Peter

Subject: Timeplot in Exhibit

I've added a Timelot extension for Exhibit, much like the Timeline and 
mapping extensions currently in use.  It's in a developmental stage.

   http://ryanlee.org/2008/03/rsy/rivalry.html

We're aware of some of the logged errors and their source.  The main 
issue we'd like to resolve now before moving forward is how best to 
model time series information in RDF.  So far we've come up with a 
couple scenarios.

The first case is illustrated in the above example, where every point on 
the plot is also an item in the Exhibit database.  As you can see, this 
allows you to modify the graph and move around decades just by making 
facet selections.

The second case is one where modifying series via facets is of little 
use.  Far better for scaling (keeping the total number of items down) 
would be to encapsulate the entire time series in some sort of data 
structure, like a comma separated list of tuples in a string, attached 
to an item.

I suspect orienting a model around time series makes that particular 
grounding difficult to use in other situations.  Maybe that's just the 
price.  Thoughts?  Other models?

Interested parties can watch the wiki page below as things stabilize.
