Re: Using a slideshow within Exhibit
Here's one quick suggestion: build a hidden facet on the label or id or some other field that is unique to each item. Write attach a bit of js to the next button that updates the selection in that facet to the value corresponding to the next item in the order (in which you would like things to appear in the show). Then let exhibit take care of updating the display to reflect the new selection. drape wrote: Hello, I've recently implemented my first Exhibit and it's great.

Re: Exhibit data entry
Alex, I've stumbled across this old message, and wanted to mention to you that we have made at least one effort that seems to meet your inquiry, to extend exhibit with a syntax for data entry lenses that let people submit data to google spreadsheets. You can find an example here: http://valinor.mit.edu/~sostler/meta/exhibits.html Alexander Nakhimovsky wrote: Exhibit JSON is of course very readable, but as a data entry format it can be intimidating for some people. I wonder if anybody has attempted the following: given an Exhibit item, programmatically construct an HTML form to enter such items; and conversely (a much simpler task) given the submitted form data, construct another item.

Re: Few Queries regarding Exhibit.

I am just getting to grips with Exhibit, it is SO powerful !
Keep those compliments coming; it'll keep us working :)
We currently are developing a site at
http://www.visatimeline.com/my-visa-timeline/index.html
I have a few questions, and I have read as much of the documentation
as I can: So apologies if my questions are answered elsewhere.
1. propogating the data via Google Spreadsheets is brilliant, and
ultra lightweight on our server. But how do we get back the
pluralism
Example: our site labelk is Expat, and more than 1 its plurified
using json, but with the spreadsheet version I can not see where we
can pluralise the label tag.
If you mean how to make things plural, note that exhibit can draw from
several data sources at once. Plural labels are specified in a
schema, like the example below from my publications page. Since you
are unlikely to be changing it often, you can just serve it as a static
file from the same place as your are serving your html page: link
href=my-schema.js type=application/json rel=exhibit/data / in the
head will do the trick.
{
types: {
'Person': {
pluralLabel: 'People'
},
'Publication': {
pluralLabel: 'Publications'
}
},
properties: {
'powerpointURL': {
valueType: url
},
'author': {
label: author,
pluralLabel:authors,
reverseLabel: author of,
reversePluralLabel: authors of,
groupingLabel: their authors,
reverseGroupingLabel: their work
}
}
2. I am struggling to cope with dates, as most of our users are
British/Australian our date format is different from the US system,
example:
10/09/2004 to us means 10th September 2004 ie dd/mm/
as opposed to the US system of mm/dd/
I also would like to propogate the timeline properly with date
fields , ie day and month..
This I am seriously struggling with, so appreciate any guidance
please.
Essentially: we wish to track the timeline of each member, a member
embarks onto the timeline at a specific date say dd/mm/ 18/08/2003
and culminates their timeline on 27/09/2005
I am struggling to actually display this for our users, and realise I
am messing up somewhere. Also be useful, to offer a day count to the
timeline so users can measure the time-stretch in number of days
( start to finish ) of each member.
There's good information in the wiki on how to format dates. Check here:
http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Exhibit/2.0/Formats
3. Our members enter 2 cities ( as we are a Migrancy Expatriate site )
they will have city A ( from ) and city B ( to )
I wish to be able to pull the information from our file, either google
spreadsheet file / json / or different to plot these 2 points onto
Google Maps, and with link bubbles back to their timeline.
the only tricky part is getting latitudes and longitudes of the cities.
if they are already in your files, you just need to add them to your
exhibit data and re-plot. Various discussions on the mailing list about
the best way to re-render when data changes; none of them pretty.
Tall order I am sure, but I have seen many utilise the map feature,
albeit I can never find it on MIT website, and its integration with
exhibit.
see here for an example of linking map and timeline:
http://simile.mit.edu/exhibit/examples/presidents/presidents-2.html
Many thanks ( 1st post so please be kind )

Re: Exhibit bubble URL control
I don't know how to control the bubble but here are two answers.
Warf wrote:
I have been playing with Exhibit (which is awesome BTW), and am
curious about doing a couple different things in the bubble.
http://www3.telus.net/warfsworld/html/travel/travel_map.html
1) I have some pages which have the element homepage : in the
travel_map.js file, and some that don't. I currently have them
displaying Travel Diary and linking to that url... but want that
element not to display if it doesn't exist in the .js file.
exhibit has an ex:if-exists attribute that addresses this. Eg. span
ex:if-exists=.homepagea
ex:href-content=.homepagehomepage/a/span is a span that will only
appear (with its insides) if the homepage attributes exists on the item
being rendered.
2) Currently setting a specific bubble size using a div class and
style, but would prefer to have it resize based on content, however
when I let it do that it will show only half the bubble with the image
and data running out of the bubble.
3) Can the pop-up bubbles appear in different directions instead of
always above, since it will reposition the map with a large grey area
when selecting locations in the northern regions.
4) Where do you control the menu like pop-up that appears when there
is multiple items at the same location?
5) Non-Bubble question: How do you not display the little scissor icon
that has RDF/XML...Exhibit JSON?
It can be done, but I recommend against it---it offers a way to let
people copy your data, which might be very useful for someone else
trying to present some useful information or make a mashup. Removing
the scissors doesn't make that impossible, but it does make it less
convenient. The scissors themselves are small and unobtrusive; I don't
think they will bother anyone with their presence. If, after this
commentary, you stil want to remove the scissors, you can try to add
ex:showToolbox=false to the view div. If that doesn't work, try adding
this CSS rule div.exhibit-toolboxWidget-popup { display: none; }after
you include exhibit-api.js.

Re: Label has to be unique in Exhibit?
Depends what you mean by works. the label is by default the property that identifies an item, and it is often useful to use the same label in distinct places to refer to the same item---eg, if you have a file of locations, and you create a separate file of their geocoded latitudes and longitudes. If you want to give two distinct items the same label, you can do so by giving them distinct values of the id property, which overrides label as the unique identifier of the item. More precisely: items are named by their id. items with the same id are considered the same. if no id is specifically given, then the id is equal to the label. Eric Pugh wrote: It appears that the label needs to be unique in Exhibit, or it doesn't work properly I've posted a screenshot at http://img.skitch.com/20090102-j861dkaipsmsi3x8g6incf1wtj.jpg If you look at http://history.state.gov in the timeline, the Treaty of Paris occurs once in 1863, and a second time in 1783. However, that causes us to get two dots in 1783, and the label doesn't render. Is this a bug, or just a limitation works as designed?

Re: Custom sort terms
Ted, that's a really nice exhibit. Since you volunteered :), let me put
in my 2 cents on what would be nice to have.
Your idea, of having the order of a certain set of items specified
schematically as part of the data file, is on that I have suggested in
the past. I think it is a good one. I can imagine two approaches. One
is to specifically order the items as part of the schema definition:
types: {sourceType: {order: [US Legal, Foreign, ... etc]}}
(I think it would be a useful discipline to say that you can't order any
old strings but must specifically order items of a given type). Another
approach would be to add an annotation on the type that says it should
be ordered in the same order as it is defined in the data file, e.g.
types: {sourceType: {ordered: true}}}.
A different approach would be to pose this as a presentation problem
rather than a data problem. Let the author specify what should go on as
part of the presentation, not the data. There could be language for
defining a group lens that specifies how each group should look.
Using the same approach (of assigning a numeric order field to each
source type) one could say, e.g.
div ex:role=view ex:orders=.sourceType.order
div ex:role=groupLens
H3span ex:content=!order/span/H3
span ex:content=items/span
...
here, the grouplens applies to each group of items, and the starting
point for expressions in the groupLens is the value on which the group
was created---ie, in this case a particular .sourceType.order value. So
when I express !order, it takes me from that value back to the
sourceType whose order has that value, and makes that the header for the
group. The ex:content=items span says where to put the list of
items. It could be wrapped inside an ul or other list tag to control
how the individual items are laid out. Or even more general, one could
put a lens for items inside the list items here span So, for example,
if I wanted a tabular view of each group:
div ex:role=groupLens
table
span ex:content=!order/span
tr
tdspan ex:content=.label/span td span ex:content=.type
/tr
/span
/table
This is simple but powerful, as it lets the author do anything they want
with the groups---style and lay each one out however they like, and
possibly even compute and display aggregate information about the group
that way exhibit currently computes counts.

Thanks David. Changing the code you pointed out allowed me to
generate the sort order I wanted.
Here it is:
http://libdev.law.columbia.edu/neweres/sorted.html
A nice feature would be if you could specify a sort order in an
external file, like with plural label terms, and then read that in to
this function for customized sorting. I would be willing to work on
this, but I'm not sure where to begin.

Re: social bookmarks through Exhibit
the problem is that exhibit can't read any old json; it needs it in a
particular form where the name items is bound to an array of items.
You can write a little javascript converter to get the data in the right
form; exhibit will take care of fetching the data, will give it to your
converter, and deal with what you give back. API is
link to the data this way:
link href=delicious feed type=application/jsonp rel=exhibit/data
ex:converter=myConverter /
then write the ex:converter script in your document
function myConverter(inputJson, url, link) {
return array of items in exhibit json format
}
}

Re: Facette - Exhibit for Delicious
quick suggestion: your exhibit is showing the tags in raw form a(b). Why not reformat them to look nice? e.g. type: tool; contains: books; Peter wrote: Hi Simile, I've just completed a service that displays Delicious bookmarks within an Exhibit. I do so by crowd-sourcing the classification of tags. Here is an example Delicious Exhibit: http://facette.csail.mit.edu/user/peterjlai. With Facette, I can offer faceted information for any set of bookmarks on delicious. Also, I'm quickly building up information about tag sets. For example, after about 500 bookmarks, my system has created a tag set for programming languages (flash, java, javascript). With this sort of information, exhibit designers could plausibly create domain specific exhibits for delicious users with targeted interests. If you're interested in using data from Facette, feel free to shoot me an email. Also, please try the service! I'm looking for feedback.

Re: Date Format issue from Google Spreadsheet
I copied your exhibit and fixed the problem by swapping the order of
the included data files, on the theory that the schema file should get
the last chance to set the state of the system. I am guessing the
google spreadsheet reader is clearing something it shouldn't from the
schema. There is a way to embed your schema in the spreadsheet; if I
remember correctly, you should say date_de_publication:date in the
header line of your spreadsheet. But the way you are currently doing it
should work too.

Hi,
I'm experiencing some issues with the date format in my exhibit data
imported from Google spreadsheet. I formatted my spreadsheet as plain
text, my column date_de_publication which contains date is written
with the date property {date_de_publication:date}, in each cell I
formatted the date as following =-MM-DD (as indicated here :
http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Exhibit/How_to_make_an_exhibit_from_data_fed_directly_from_a_Google_Spreadsheet
). I also added the ex:formats in the Tile View div (ex:formats=date
{ mode: medium; show: date }) and the field date_de_publication is
in the schema.js file .
But when I load my exhibit, the field date_de_publication is loaded
as text, the date is written exactly as in the google spreadsheet
(-MM-DD), and the filtering is a-z, z-a, instead of most
recent, most old.
And strange thing, if I extract the data from this exhibit in the JSON
format and copy-paste in a *.js file, and then load it, dates are
correctly detected.
here are my files :
Google spreadsheet :
http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p2-svuLe2wo7Fb_U0JnlBHg
Exhibit with data from google spreadsheet (date as text) :
http://www.nogibble.com/publications.html
Same exhibit but with data from a .js file (extracted from the exhibit
above), dates are correctly detected :
http://www.nogibble.com/publications_JSON.html
schema.js : http://www.nogibble.com/schema.js
js data file (extracted from the google spreadsheet exhibit) :
http://www.nogibble.com/publications.js
could you give me some guidance ?
Many thanks in advance ;-) !

Re: exhibit, many to many without multiple entries in one field
It's ok; you can use author and article as ID even if they appear
multiple times. First do the obvious thing, creating items for the
exhibit corresponding to the authors and articles (using author name as
id for the authors, and article title as id for the articles):
{type: Author, id: name of author, affiliation: affiliation of
author...}
{type: Article, id: title of article, year: year of publication, }
Finally, take your relationship table. Suppose it has a row (authorX,
articleY)
add another fragment of json to the collection of items:
{id: articleY, author: authorX}
Do this for every row. This will accomplish what you want.
To understand what is going on, note how exhibit will interpret these
final fragments from the relationship table. It will say ok, this
person is specifying an item whose id is articleY and has an author
property with value authorX. But I already know about an item whose id
is articleY---namely, the one that was defined at the beginning of type
Article. So, I'm not going to create a new item with id articleY.
Instead, I will _merge_ the attributes of the new item (in particular,
the author relationship to authorX) into the already existing item. And
if that item already has a value of the author property, because I
already saw an author of that article, then I will _add_ authorX as an
additional value for the now-multivalued author property on articleX.

hi,
I have some data with many to many relationships just like the
articles and authors in the example website about ISWC 2007 + ASWC
2007.
http://people.csail.mit.edu/dfhuynh/projects/graph-based-exhibit/graph-based-exhibit2.html
there it is solved by putting multiple persons in the author field.
I have a problem getting multiple values in one field because the
data is from acces 2003. I have got one table with articles, one with
authors and one with relationships. The relationship list has three
columns:id (which I do not really use), author and article. Can i also
do it like that in exhibit? how can I do that?
In the example you use .author.affiliation to get a value from the
author list in the article overview. Author is an id there. In my
relationship list both author and article cannot be id because they
appear multiple times.

Re: Exhibit - Adapting facets to choose from ON THE FLY
Matthias, your description is pretty abstract. Can you give a more concrete example of how this would be used? That might help us understand if there is a way to accomplish what you want with the current exhibit framework. For example, it is already possible to make facets collapsible and have them start collapsed if you don't want them cluttering the screen. Matthias wrote: Hi everybody, first of all, big compliment. Exhibit is a very nice tool and provides nearly everything I need. There's only one thing missing. I would like to create a simple facet view supporting a width range of data entries. My idea was to specify a set of facets every entry has to name a value to. Lets say something like: label, type and domain. The domain facet then would specify which other facets should be used to search deeper for data entries. That means clicking on a given domain would trigger the page to show NEW domain specific facets. Is there a way to do this with Exhibit? Would be very nice to have this feature running!

Re: Timeline on IE 6 upper band becomes days and lower band months when loading many (62) events
One suggestion is to switch to exhibit, and add some facets that would
let you filter your events down to a more manageable number!
Tony wrote:
I have 62 events in a Google spreadsheet. Each event is 3 months long
and the entire span 12 months. The events stack up too high vertically
to fit in the upper band and certain items are hidden from view. I'm
okay with that because I can manually resize the timeline or filter to
get fewer events. However, on IE 6 increasing
div.style.height=400px; has no effect. Also, with the large amount
of data (62 items) the bottom band becomes months and the upper band
becomes days. If I reduce the number of events to less than 25 the
bottom band is correctly years and the upper band is correctly months.
Also, it works fine on FF with 62 events.
Any ideas?

Re: create a menu of timeline events next to timeline
I'm not sure exactly how to do it, but I think it should be possible to
create a lens showing those items which contains a fragment of
javascript code telling the map/timeline to center on that item, e.g.
div ex:role=lens
a ex:onclick-content=javascript:myScrollTo({{.label}}) span
ex:content=.label/span/a
/div
then render a list view invoking that lens.

those items are far enough apart in time, the user can only see the
nearest items that timeline decides to scroll to. Others remain out
of sight, so the user can't know what they are. The map will now show
only 4 markers, but again, the user has to guess what they might be.
The solution I'm hoping for:
Is there a way to list out the timeline items/events in a simple
vertical menu that would appear next to the timeline? Not listing the
items here instead of on the timeline, but in addition to. This way
the user has a clear list of returned items, and can select from them
in this new menu to then see the final desired item in the timeline
and map.
I've attempted this by creating a second timeline on the page, and
scrunching up the date intervals so much that all items essentially
appeared in a vertical line. It worked in that I could select items
on this hacked timeline, and it was coordinated with the clean
timeline and map. But, the scrunched map was an ugly interface, and
the extra work it was doing seemed to really slow down all the
elements on the page.
Coordinating somehow with the tabular view would show the list I want,
but would lack the clickable interactivity between the new list, the
timeline, and the map.
Does this make sense to anyone? Any ideas for a clean solution?
The closest I can get, or think to get, is some version of the
following, where the script calls the timeline events, and places them
in the new div (menuDiv)...

Re: AND between facet values

If I create a facet for filtering museums by artists shown

How I can search for museums that show artworks by Leonardo Da

If I select both Leonardo Da Vinci and Jacques-Louis David in
Exhibit, I actually obtain a list of museums that show artworks by
Leonardo Da Vinci OR Jacques-Louis David. In my example I would

Louvre only.
How I can obtain this in Exhibit? Is there a parameter I can set, or

Re: Dealing with missing data
Another approach would be to explicitly describe gaps in the data file as e.g. invisible points. This would push the problem of detecting gaps back to the source app. Stefano Mazzocchi wrote: Vipul Gupta wrote: I'm interested in using Simile timeplot for plotting data values collected from a wireless environmental sensor (that measures light, temperature etc) at periodic intervals. On some occasions, sample data is lost (e.g. due to the unreliable nature of the wireless link) and I'd like to indicate this as a gap in my plot. For example, see these plots drawn using Gnuplot: http://blogs.sun.com/vipul/entry/one_and_a_half_million The same plots drawn using the Simile timeplot widget are at: http://blogs.sun.com/vipul/resource/SolarSPOT2/similetimeplot.html Very cool! While I can highlight missing samples by using the events feature, it seems more intuitive to represent missing data as gaps. Is there an easy way to accomplish this? I tried inserting a blank line in the datasource whenever a sample was missing. While this works for Gnuplot, it doesn't seem to work for timeplot. I'm new to the SIMILE Widget set so it's possible I've overlooked an FAQ that answers this question. thanks for your time, Unfortunately, this feature is not there... but it's something several people have asked. It's a tough one, though, counter-intuitively: on one hand, I always wanted Timeplot to just cope with whatever data you throw at it. This 'whatever data' includes both gaps in sampling *and* non-uniform sampling. Unfortunately, implementing a way to plot that can deal with both at the same time is not trivial... mostly because we need to establish a way to differentiate between gaps and non-uniform sampling periods. The simplest way is something crude like if the sampling period is greater than x, consider it a gap, where x is a variable that you can define when you import the data (and you can tune based on your own data sampling process). A more complicated one would be to have timeplot 're-sample' the data at uniform intervals... but I'm afraid of the aliasing artifacts that this would generate.

Re: dragging vertically in timelines
Why not go whole hog and make a vertical summary band like the second current horizontal band that would allow for rapid scrolling vertically?

I take your point about timelines in general privileging the linear dimension: and this is as it should be. The exploration of that linear dimension _is_ the utility of a timeline. Having said that, however, It might be helpful to subvert the linear view just a little, and a two dimensional summary might be a way to do it as David Karger has suggested. At the very least, I think there ought to be some sort of indication that there is more above or below the line. Making your existing indicator, the 'scroll' bar on the right, permanently visible wouldn't take up much room and would provide the necessary prompt. Thanks for the further innovations. I've made the highlight of the lower band reflect the vertical visible portion of the upper band, and I've made the vertical scroll bar visible all the time (if scrolling is possible). http://simile-widgets.googlecode.com/svn/timeline/trunk/src/webapp/examples/compact-painter/compact-painter.html I personally don't think the highlight of the lower band does a good job of looking like an overview, at least in its current implementation. Unlike a world map, which immediately looks like an overview unless you're from another planet, any rectangle in the lower band with a few pixels shaved here and there doesn't immediately suggest that it reflects the vertical scrolling state of the upper band.

Re: dragging vertically in timelines
yes, barrel is what I meant---to show stuff around the sides. Not sure it is a good idea, but thought I'd toss it out. David Huynh wrote: David Karger wrote: you mean use a native vertical scrollbar?

It took me quite a while to notice the vertical scrollbar, and I'm puzzled why it is read only. The intention is that it's only an indicator, and the body of the band is the interactor. I think people ain't used to scrolling horizontally as much, so if vertical scrolling were any more emphasized than it is, then that might totally inhibit any hint that horizontal scrolling is possible. (A native vertical scrollbar would really emphasize vertical scrolling.) But I could be wrong. farfetched, but what if you made the timeline into a barrel that rolled away at the top and bottom (images shrinking) to indicate there is more present?

*Subject:* Timeline User Control with C# and Masterpage
Not a question, but after a few weeks of implementing simile timeline
I've got a few tricks for any C# ASP.NET users out there.
First, if you're using masterpages you absolutely have to link to the
timeline-api.js in the server side head tag in the Masterpage. I
tried putting it in the aspx page, the user control, no luck, has to
be in the masterpage. All other javascript can be in the page/
control.
Second, I needed to create a user control that could be dropped onto
several pages that loads data dynamically, as in I couldn't just point
to an XML file like all the examples show. Here is some code for
dynamically generating Events in the code behind and passing them to
the javascript on the client.
In the onLoad function:
function onLoad() {
var eventSource = new Timeline.DefaultEventSource();
// this will be populated by code behind, it is the list of events
%= DCEvents %
. all the other code for creating the zones, timeline, etc .
}
In the code behind, have a property called DCEvents:
private string _DCEvents;
public string DCEvents
{
get
{
return _DCEvents;
}
set
{
_DCEvents = value;
}
}
Then on page load fill DCEvents, for my purposes I'm getting an array
of streams that have an attribute of createDate, but you can loop
through a dataset or generic list or anything you want:
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
// get the streams, here just do whatever you need to get
your data
streams = mgmt.getDatastreamHistory(pid, dsid);
// loop through your data creating an Event for each row,
again your data object will be different
foreach (FedoraManagement.Datastream stream in streams)
{
string Date = DateTime.Parse
(stream.createDate).ToString(MMM dd 00:00:00 EST);
sb.AppendLine(var dateEvent = new Date(\ + Date +
\););
sb.AppendLine(var evt = new
Timeline.DefaultEventSource.Event();
sb.AppendLine(dateEvent, //start);
sb.AppendLine(dateEvent, //end);
sb.AppendLine(dateEvent, //latestStart);
sb.AppendLine(dateEvent, //earliestEnd);
sb.AppendLine(true, //instant);
sb.AppendLine(\My Title\,);
sb.AppendLine(\a href=javascript:__doPostBack(' +
stream.createDate + ')This is a Postback/a\););
sb.AppendLine(eventSource.add(evt););
sb.AppendLine( );
}
// finally fill your property with this string
this.DCEvents = sb.ToString();
For every event this will now show up in your onLoad function as seen
in Firebug (the postback line is simply the text of the popup, I
needed a postback link):
var dateEvent = new Date(Mar 02 2009 00:00:00 EST);
var evt = new Timeline.DefaultEventSource.Event(
dateEvent, //start
dateEvent, //end
dateEvent, //latestStart
dateEvent, //earliestEnd
true, //instant
My Title,
a href=javascript:__doPostBack('2009-03-02T19:28:59.365Z')This is a
Postback/a);
eventSource.add(evt);
Lastly here is the postback function, because it took a long stinkin
time to get a postback working:
function __doPostBack(eventArgument) {
var theform = document.aspnetForm
theform.__EVENTTARGET.value = theform
theform.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument
theform.submit()
}
Its now working and I gotta say its pretty sweet, let me know if
you've got any questions.

Just earlier today I was browsing the web looking for SIMILE projects *in the wild.* It's a fun exercise looking how others use the same tools. (http://geo42.com/sites/simile/resources.html for a limited start) A few thoughts on Datapress, well, mostly it's future plans... Feel free to ignore everything I say! (I'm just getting started with SIMILE projects and semantic web concepts.) - I'm not sure I would have each exhibit actually load the data while browsing. I would just use screenshots with basic metadata about each, such as number of entries, type of features, organization, etc... I'd love to see which entries use a timeline, ve mapview, use timeplot, ve different types of data streams, etc... We kept going back and forth on this one. When we had a representative static version of the exhibit, we couldn't design one that was representative enough. We settled for the actual exhibit since we didn't have the designers touch, but any suggestion as to how to speed this up while still making it look good would be appreciated. - A nice ajax-like search would go well here. Either a exhibit of exhibits or probably better would be a server-based faceted search engine like apache solr. Neat idea. So each blog would have a listing/exhibit of all exhibits on the site? That shouldn't be too hard to make! - When playing an exhibit, how about just showing the exhibit on it's own page? I use lightbox/thickbox for several items myself and not sure if it really works here. If you're sticking with Wordpress for the Youtube-like implementation, I would think of each exhibit as a page/post.Just a thought. It should probably be a user option. The reason we lightboxed is that some exhibits are two wide for typically narrow-width blog themes, so we decided to give people the ability to have the exhibit on the page without it interfering with the theme. - How about offering comments on each exhibit? Maybe ratings as well? This could work with a hot topics area, or most viewed, or highest rated, etc... A bit harder, but definitely possible! - It be nice to offer various skins, layout plus color schemes. Based on what features they add (facet side bars, timeline, etc..) you could suggest a layout style. Maybe build this around Wordpress themes. I wonder in Wordpress is you can display separate pages with it's own theme? (I have some experience in Wordpress but not much.)

Re: Manipulating dates in Exhibit
Anthony; your way might work. It looks like you are getting undefined
because getFullYear is returning values like 2001 while your array only
has 5 entries. You might try replacing set.add(yearNames[y]) with
set.add(y).
If you want to try what I suggested, which is along the lines of this
thread:
http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Exhibit/How_to_make_an_exhibit_from_any_JSONP_data_source
you would specify
link rel=exhibit/data href=your data url ex:converter=myConverter
and then place a script in the body that adds a year to every item
based on its data field:
script
function myConverter( json ) {
var items = json.items;
for (var i = 0; item = items[i]; i++) {
items[i].year =
*SimileAjax*.*DateTime*.*parseIso8601DateTime(item.date).getFullYear();*
}
return json;
}
/script
and would then be able to access a year property in your data.

If I understand correctly, you’re suggesting that a “year” property

I fear this is a little beyond my current skills so I’m wondering if
you can suggest an existing Exhibit that I can look at.
Does this mean that it’s not possible to do it the way I was attempting?

an alternative approach would be to use exhibit's
callback-on-data-load to explicitly add a year property to every
item. Then you could use a plain year facet.

I’m (again) having difficulty manipulating dates in Exhibit. I
followed the code at

and got a facet (I hope that’s the correct term) working that
displays months of the year, so I thought I’d be clever and do the
same for years… of course I don’t really know what I’m doing so it
didn’t work!
To extract the year from a date I used:
*var* *yearNames* = [ /2007/, /2008/, /2009/,
/2010/, /2011/ ];
*Exhibit*.*Functions*[/year/] = {
*f*: *function*(*args*) {

*set*.*add*(*yearNames*[*y*]);
});
*return* *new*
*Exhibit*.*Expression*.*_Collection*(*set*, /number/);

and then had the following:
*div* ex:role=*facet* ex:expression=*year(.startdate)*
ex:fixedOrder=*2007;2008;2009;2010;2011*
ex:facetLabel=*Year/div*
But to no avail… all I’m getting is “undefined” for all the items
in my Exhibit.
I’m wondering if this is totally the wrong way to go about it as
maybe I would need to have an infinite list of years for this to work?

to try and get the app to run a bit smoother (the browser lag in FF is
terrible!). I've been playing with the idea of loading JSON in chunks
using a service that takes an offset, then adding the data to
Exhibit. This works, but is still really slow to load.
What I would like to do is programmatically load each JSON chunk once
a successful request has been made. Here's what I think should work:
/*==

*==

Exhibit.ExhibitJSONChunkImporter = {
};
Exhibit.importers[application/json-chunk] =
Exhibit.ExhibitJSONChunkImporter;
Exhibit.ExhibitJSONChunkImporter.load = function(link, database, cont)
{
var url = typeof link == string ? link : link.href;
var last_chunk = -1;
var items = [];
url = Exhibit.Persistence.resolveURL(url);
var fChunk = function(xmlhttp) {
try {
var o = null;
try {
o = eval(( + xmlhttp.responseText + ));
} catch (e) {
Exhibit.UI.showJsonFileValidation(Exhibit.l10n.badJsonMessage(url,
e), url);
}
if (o != null) {
if (o.status == 'ok') {
last_chunk = o.chunk;
// THIS NEXT LINE DOESN'T WORK EVERY
TIME!
database.loadData(o,
Exhibit.Persistence.getBaseURL(url));
if (last_chunk + 1 o.chunks) {
return true;
}
} else {
}
}
} catch (e) {
SimileAjax.Debug.exception(e, Error loading Exhibit
JSON chunk
data from + url);
}
return false;
}
var fError = function(statusText, status, xmlhttp) {
Exhibit.UI.hideBusyIndicator();
Exhibit.UI.showHelp(Exhibit.l10n.failedToLoadDataFileMessage
(url));
if (cont) cont();
};
var fDone = function(xmlhttp) {
try {
if (fChunk(xmlhttp)) {
SimileAjax.XmlHttp.get(url + '?chunk=' +
(last_chunk+1),
fError, fDone);
} else {
Exhibit.UI.hideBusyIndicator();
// Alternate database.loadItems(); can go here
}
} finally {
if (cont) cont();
}
};
Exhibit.UI.showBusyIndicator();
SimileAjax.XmlHttp.get(url, fError, fDone);
}
In there I try to call database.loadData(); for each chunk of JSON I
receive. This works for the first couple of chunks (I have a lot of
chunks), but I eventually get the following errors:
TypeError: this._dom is undefined Error firing event of name
onItemsChanged - debug.js (line 53)
Error firing event of name onItemsChanged Error firing event of name
onAfterLoadingItems - debug.js (line 53)
Database.loadItems failed Error firing event of name

Error firing event of name onAfterLoadingItems - debug.js (line 53)
Error firing event of name onAfterLoadingItems XmlHttp: Error
handling onReadyStateChange - debug.js (line 53)
So I have two questions: 1) is database.loadItems(); capable of adding
data over multiple calls like I was hoping, or is there another
function/process I should try using? 2) I'm assuming the errors I'm
getting are related to my using the database.loadItems(); function the
way that I am -- is this assumption correct, or is there another place
I should be looking (apologies, I don't know this code very well yet)?
Thanks for any input!

Re: google's rich snippets in exhibit
Maybe instead of physical separation we can settle for logical separation. Suppose we enable link rel=exhibit/data href=#local to specify that the data can be found in the element with name or id #local in the html doc? that data can be cdata encoded and meets the goal of being machine readable. It does require xml parsing but that's a relatively small cost. David Huynh wrote: Search engines are only interested in crawling (probably) visible HTML content, so anything to be crawled must be in HTML, and that spoils the whole point of separating data from presentation. I think the only way to have both separation of data and presentation as well as crawl-ability is to store the data in JSON files or whatever, and have a cached rendering of *some* of the data in HTML. Maybe you can specify some ordering of the items as well as a cut-off limit, and that determines which items--potentially the most interesting ones--get rendered into HTML. That way you won't duplicate the data 100%. So your PHP file will look something like this html head link rel=exhibit/data href=data1.json type=application/json / link rel=exhibit/data href=data2.rdf type=application/rdf+xml / /head body ... div ex:role=lens id=template-1 ../div noscript ?php $curl_handle=curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_URL,'http://service.simile-widgets.org/exhibit-render?'); curl_exec($curl_handle); curl_close($curl_handle); ? /noscript /body /html The trouble is how to pass data1.json, data2.rdf, and the lens template to the web service exhibit-render. We could potentially make a php library file that when you include it into another php file, it parses the containing php file, extracts out the data links and lens templates, and calls the web service exhibit-render automatically. ?php include(exhibit-rendering-lib.php); renderExhibit(template-1, .age, true, 10); #id of lens template to use, sort by expression, sort ascending, limit ? I don't know enough php to know if that's possible / easy.

The idea is that if your web page is marked up with certain attributes then search results from your web page will look better on Google. So far exhibits' contents are not crawl-able at all by search engines, because they are contained inside JSON files rather than in HTML, and they are then rendered dynamically in the browser. Since Google is starting to pay attention to structured data within web pages, I think it might be a really good time to start thinking about how to make exhibits crawl-able *and* compatible with Google's support for microformats and RDFa at the same time. Two birds with one stone. One possible solution is that if you use Exhibit within a php file, then you could make the php file get some service like Babel to take your JSON file and generate HTML with microformats or RDFa, and inject that into a noscript block. Please let me know if you have any thought on that! AFAI understand, in the possible solution you mention, you finally always double the volume of the served data: you serve the original json plus a specially tagged version in a noscript. This works and is surely appropriate in many cases, I just add as a remark that, since it may cost bandwidth just to serve additional data (data specially tagged for Google) that in the general case (a human visitor using a browser) is not used, an alternative solution may be preferable in certain cases, and when this is possible: For those of us who can customize their httpd.conf configuration of their apache server, we may prefer to implement the solution which is to serve appropriately, on the same URL, two different versions: - one version being the normal exhibit, for normal human visitors, - and the other, for (google)bots, being an ad-hoc html (either static or dynamically
Re: migrating examples to the new wiki [Was: Re: Classifier Ideas for new MIT Food Exhibit]
John, this is a really nice piece of work. But I think a potentially better way to host this data (because it makes it easy for anyone to edit) is in a fully exhibit-enabled wiki. We've got one here: http://projects.csail.mit.edu/wibit/ It's actually a semantic mediawiki, which adds some interesting capabilities. In particular, as you suggest below, you can create a page for each resource with useful text and metadata (and create a form for editing the data on such pages), which would then be aggregated into the exhibit, but could also be emitted as json for someone else to use in another setting. We've wanted to do a bit more tweaking before suggesting this be used as a repository of exhibit resources, but since you've already taken the leap, would you like to take a look and think about whether it would be an effective repository? I can help you figure out how to use it if you need. -David John Callahan wrote: I had started to migrate the examples from the old wiki and elsewhere on the web over to the new wiki. While doing so, it made sense to me to include other resources, like blog posts or third-party apps that make use of SIMILE widgets. It also made sense to include information from all SIMILE projects. So, I created an Exhibit (powered by a Google Spreadsheet) of all the resources I found and linked them from the new wiki home: http://www.simile-widgets.org/wiki/ (up to 153 resources!) A few thoughts... 1. It would be nice if this Exhibit was not on my server (geo42.com) but rather directly on simile-widgets.org. (and styled a bit nicer as well!)I've tried a few things to add the necessary javascript components to the wiki but I do not believe I have permission to do so. Is this something worthwhile to add to the main s-w.org site? 2. Using a Google spreadsheet is the best way I know for community maintenance of this data. It's easy to turn into a JSON feed as input to Exhibit. My first thought was to create a new wiki page for each resource, tag it sufficiently, then somehow generate a JSON feed with all the appropriate tags as attributes. I can do this in Drupal but couldn't figure it out with Mediawiki. (that method is probably overkill anyway.) If necessary, does anyone have another idea besides a Google spreadsheet? (of course, a custom PHP/MySQL app would work if anyone wants to code it up.) 3. The attributes in the spreadsheet are very limited: title, description, SIMILE project, type of resource, In The Wild or homegrown, does it include a map, does it include a graph, and URL. Of course, it'd be nice to have things like a screenshot image, the software version, features used, date published, person/org, etc... However, IMO, this information would be difficult to maintain. As well, I don't know how to find that information easily for many of the entries. Although some info *may* be better than none.Any thoughts here? (Wouldn't it be nice to have a script that went through the URLs of each resource, tested the URL to make sure it's alive, and parsed the HTML/javascript code to determine which SIMILE product it's using and what features are enabled? :-)) - John ** John Callahan Geospatial Application Developer Delaware Geological Survey, University of Delaware 227 Academy St, Newark DE 19716-7501 Tel: (302) 831-3584 Email: john.calla...@udel.edu http://www.dgs.udel.edu ** David Karger wrote: David Huynh wrote: Rob wrote: Hey, I am in the process of creating an exhibit which highlights all the eateries on the MIT campus.

Re: migrating examples to the new wiki [Was: Re: Classifier Ideas for new MIT Food Exhibit]
John, I'm CCing Fabian, who did this SMW-exhibit integration work while he was visiting me last year. Hopefully he can contribute some additional answers and assistance. John Callahan wrote: Perfect. Thanks for the link and the project. I actually ran into SMW while looking for better ways to tag the SIMILE examples in Mediawiki when I first started moving them over. Yes, I think it's an excellent idea and could be extremely useful if it's flexible enough. (One of the primary reasons I use Drupal is the amount of control I have over the format/tags of user input as well as customizable query/feed/display options.) Well, the level of customization is exactly what I was referring to when I said we were trying to polish a few more things before announcing/pushing wibit. Right now, there are some limitations on layout to keep the syntax for specifying the exhibit simple. From a quick look, the first thing that comes to mind is to use Wibit for all of the SIMILE wiki documentation. Pages from old MIT wiki and the new Mediawiki wiki could move to a new instance of Wibit. (I still need to read more closely on the differences between the Exhibit Result Printer and JSON Exporter.) I think this could be a great idea. However, it may be risky---we haven't seen a lot of use of Wibit yet, and there could be horrible problems lurking inside. It would be great to have people give it a workout for a while with some specific collections, to reveal such issues before we consider a wholesale migration. In particular, the metaexhibit seems a great starting point since it is so clearly structured. How easy are the page edit forms to create? this actually isn't exhibit, it's the semantic forms extension for SMW. Documentation is here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms#Structure with specific syntax here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms#Defining_forms I think it's about as easy as using other complex mediawiki markup (translation: mediawiki users are happy with it, but the rest of us probably find it rather arcane) You would likely need several forms for different types of content each with their own vocabularies. Yes, there's a one-form one data type pairing Can you use controlled vocabs as well as free tagging? Yes, the form can contain dropdown menus for selecting from a controlled list. Go to the Wibit beer exhibit at http://projects.csail.mit.edu/wibit/wiki/index.php?title=Beers , click on a beer http://projects.csail.mit.edu/wibit/wiki/index.php?title=Augustiner_Edelstoff , then click the edit with form tab to go to http://projects.csail.mit.edu/wibit/wiki/index.php?title=Augustiner_Edelstoffaction=formedit . You'll see a drop down menu for selecting Beer type and brewing month from a controlled list. And multiple vocabs per form/template? not sure what you mean by this. Each form reflects the vocabulary you've chosen for that data type. Also, once pages are created and tagged, are there ways other than Exhibit to search/browse through the data? well, one can emit the data as jsonp for use in other tools (http://projects.csail.mit.edu/wibit/wiki/index.php?title=Making_exhibits_from_data_of_Semantic_MediaWikis) For example, such as creating dynamic menus based on a single (or multiple) vocabularies? Or an auto generated sitemap? Or something like a table of contents or glossary index? These I'm not sure about and will defer to Fabian. They are certainly neat ideas for addition if not already there. Are the pages in SMW actually marked up with RDFa as defined in the edit form? Not that I know of (SMW preceded rdfa). Again, a nice idea. I wonder if the lens framework, or the infobox template for each item type, could be used to create that rdfa on the fly as part of the page. Google's new Rich Snippets (and other semantic search engines) could take advantage of it. - John David Karger wrote: John, this is a really nice piece of work.

Re: SIMILE documentation strategy
John, I'm reasonably certain we've defaulted to (1) because both (2) and (3) require more substantial coordination and management, which we haven't been able to offer from within the simile team (too little manpower). I doubt (2) could work since it requires all contributors to code a certain way. I'd love to see (3) but that requires some people to step forward to join the doc team. John Callahan wrote: Before I went ahead and started making suggestions about if SIMILE needs a CMS vs a wiki site, I should have stepped back and asked what the overall documentation strategy is. I should have probably also asked if there were previous discussions about community building plans and how things have gone the past few years. Sorry about that. So, I started this new thread. :-) What is the overall documentation strategy? 1) complete community contributed documentation in a wiki/CMS, including api references, examples, and HowTo articles. This seems to be where we are now. 2) dynamically derived documentation from the code itself (could use Natural Docs, http://www.naturaldocs.org/ or similar, e.g., http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.7/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers-js.html) This would require the authors to add much more info the code. Community would contribute examples and general articles. 3) select a documentation team to create api reference and other FAQs/important info. (could use Sphinx, http://sphinx.pocoo.org/ or similar, from restructured text, e.g., http://mapserver.org/documentation.html) Community would again contribute examples and general articles but under the guidelines of the doc team. And I'm sure there are many others. Has this been previously discussed or decided upon?

Re: exhibit: pagination
David Huynh wrote: John Callahan wrote: I also just noticed in the Tile view, the item numbers do not continue for each page but instead reset to one. For example, page 1 lists items numbered 1 - 10. Page 2 also lists items numbered 1 - 10, and so on. Thanks for spotting that. So far I've been using ol to render the tile view, but there's no way to set the starting number for an ol (in Javascript or CSS). I might have to switch to using a table with the first column showing the numbers. you could ol starting from 1 (but with blank contents) until you get to the ones you want to render, then use css to hide all the blank ones. that avoids needing to figure out how to get a table to render and flow exactly like an ol By the way, for the *thumbnail* view, I've been using float:left to make the thumbnail lenses arrange themselves horizontally and wrap when they run out of space. But this causes weird gaps if the lenses are not of the same height. I've been thinking of switching to a table, and support a setting such as ex:thumbnailColumns=3. That helps with pagination, too, since we can automatically round the page size to a multiple of the number of columns, so that the last row is always complete (except on the last page). What do you think? how about rendering a table _only_ if ex:thumbnailcolumns is set, and otherwise using the current float:left? the downside of a table is that it is hard to pick a column count that'll work in all browser sizes. another option: how about letting someone specify a itemSize, and wrapping each rendering item in a one-cell table of exactly that size, which will then look nice in float-left mode? or, if you want to get _really_ fancy, how about computing the number of columns that'll fit in the current window, and modifying the column count as needed if the page gets resized?

I need this so badly that I am willing to invest the effort to learn how to use it at the coding level if necesary, but I need to focus on using the tool rather than developing it if at all possible. I know I am probably way out of the league of the group I am addressing, but the tool you have is awsome and I really need to learn how to use it. Any advice will be appreciated.

[Simile-Widgets] Re: This from Google Maps Mania Blog
Interesting. It looks like they wanted exhibit-type functionality (maps, faceted browsing) but went to the work of implementing it on the server side. I'm curious why they chose that approach instead of using our preexisting ready-made solution.

[Simile-Widgets] Re: SIMILE Exhibit and jQuery
Things basically work. One thing to watch out for is that the Exhibit creators did not like jquery's capture of $ so they unbind that. instead you access jquery through SimileExhibit.jQuery or something similar. mleden wrote: I think that I've seen a thread about the use of both Exhibit and jQuery, but I couldn't find it in the discussion group archives (looks like they're getting purged at a pretty good clip). Anyway, as I understand it, Exhibit is built on top of jQuery which, I assume, means that it includes some/all of the jQuery library. I'd like to use Exhibit and jQuery functionality on the same site. Does that mean: 1. By including just Exhibit, I have access to some/all of the jQuery functionality? If so, how do I go about identifying what I can do and how I can do it? 2. By including both Exhibit and jQuery libraries, will there be collisions? Is there significant redundancy in the amount of code pulled over the net? If anyone has thoughts or experience, I would really appreciate it.

here's a nice example of a dynamically updated exhibit:

Hello,
I wonder if it's possible to update Exhibit in real-time, with fresh
data. Is there any way of getting data into Exhibit, other than this
sequence in the html head?
head
link href=../../json/policies-explorer type=application/json
rel=exhibit/data /
..stuff..
/head
Searching for any mention of exhibit/data in the source has so far
yielded no clues, and these lines (248 onwards in exhibit.js) seem to
be the closest I can find:
var uiContext = this._uiContext;
for (var i = 0; i collectionElmts.length; i++) {
var elmt = collectionElmts[i];
var id = elmt.id;
if (id==null || id.length == 0) {
id = default;
}
this.setCollection(id, Exhibit.Collection.createFromDOM2(id,
elmt, uiContext));
}
Lastly, in case anyone else is looking for it, to get the current set
of label or id elements of items that have currently been selected
(via filtering) one should be able to use this javascript snippet
(using, Firebug's console, for example):
window.exhibit.getDefaultCollection().getRestrictedItems().toArray();

[Simile-Widgets] Re: accessibility
You are correct. Exhibit has the _potential_ to be much _better_ for screen readers than typical static pages, because the exhibit markup indicates more about the roles of various elements (think how a screen reader could present a facet as a list of selectable values, or of an audio lens written to explain how to read-aloud the description of a single item). However, we've never had the manpower to pursue this route. amped wrote: I am curious about how screen readers work/don't work with simile exhibits. I think the consensus is, to be accessible (to both visually impaired and search engines), you pretty much have to have a static rendering or traditional search/results version of your exhibit data.

So the data fetch fails, which leads exhibit to throw a syntax error---clearly not the most informative possible. To get around that, you can use exhibit's jsonp framework (a standard mechanism for circumventing the XSS protections).

[Simile-Widgets] Re: Exhibit: Is it possible to select an exclusionary filter?
I can't really follow your second paragraph as I don't see the logic of including something red when not-red is selected. But, in regard to your first paragraph, I think you get what you want by just preselecting all facet values, and allowing the user to _uncheck_ red if they want to exclude that one. In your facet tag, just add ex:selection=red;blue;green;yellow and it'll start off with those selected. (note the following inconsistency-for-good-reason in exhibit: if _no_ value is selected for a facet, then in fact it is as if _every_ value is selected. For facets with selections, only items that match one of the selections will be shown. But if we applied this without exception, then a facet without selections would make everything vanish---not a good default. So, we have an exception for an empty facet. However, this does force a dramatic change when you take an empty facet and select one value; suddenly it switches from as if all values are selected to just the single selected value. If instead you start with all values selected, then unselected one will do what you want) lbjvg wrote: Thanks David (H K) - I haven't worked with collections before - thanks for bringing them to my attention. My big idea was to - on the fly - have the user be able to exclude any color listed - as if red in the div's above were replaced with a variable that could change on the user's whim. So, it seems like a hard nut to crack and I can live without that feature. I can think of a weaker solution involving a massively enlarged json database. - so instead of being totally exclusionary, not_red would be a feature like any other - that is the universe of colors includes red, not_red, green, not_green, blue, not_blue and so on. So the not_color choices would be listed right along with the usual color names of red, green, blue and so on. This involves analyzing and addending the json database to include the 'not_color' tags as appropriate. So if 'not_red' is selected then of course those items would be included in the view. But this is not exclusionary - things with red in them will still be present in the view list if green is selected and red also just also happened to be one of the Color tags for that item. (However, If the json database were completely filled out in this way it should not be possible to select red and not_red together). In general, I suppose then the user could sort the view by Color and at least all of the not_reds would be grouped together. Two problems with this approach - the larger database size and confusing the hell out of the user who (rightly) expects not_red to be exclusionary.

[Simile-Widgets] Re: Exhibit: Is it possible to select an exclusionary filter?
perhaps we could introduce an ex:negate=true attribute to the facet tag, if only we could figure out which negation semantics we wanted. One is for the checked values to denote the ones you are _not_ asking for---essentially, to invert the role of checked/not checked in the facet. Alternatively we could use David's exclude semantics below: since multiple facets get anded together, a negated facet would denote things that match the other facets AND NOT the selections in this facet.

in the data. I see that you're using a PHP script

Probably the best way to debug is to call the PHP script directly in a

Re: [Simile-Widgets] Updating Exhibit data
funny, i just posted an announcement yesterday of a new tool for a WYSIWYG editable exhibit: http://projects.csail.mit.edu/Exhibit/Dido/ It supports dynamic update of simile exhibits. You can edit the data right in the page exhibit view, then save the file to persist the changes. Right now, the data is stored in the file with the exhibit, which may or may not fit your purposes. Managing a separate data file is definitely on the todo list. Another approach some people have taken is to keep their data in a google spreadsheet. Exhibit can read those directly, and you can edit the spreadsheet to change your data (and add items using a google form).

[Simile-Widgets] Fwd: Announcing Dido, a WYSIWYG-editable exhibit
On Monday I announced a new in-place editable exhibit. The version I posted tickled a bug in jquery that broke it on IE; I've worked around and posted a new version that works on both IE and Firefox. Original Message Subject:Announcing Dido, a WYSIWYG-editable exhibit Date: Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:46:25 -0500 From: David R. Karger kar...@mit.edu To: simile-widgets@googlegroups.com I'm happy to announce a preliminary (alpha) release of Dido, a WYSIWYG-editable version of Exhibit. With Dido you can edit the data you are looking at, as well as the Exhibit visualization, right inside the page. Then you can save the page to persist your changes. All the functionality---exhibit, data, and editor---is in the document itself, so you don't even need a web connection to use it. You can find Dido at http://projects.csail.mit.edu/exhibit/Dido/ As I said, alpha. You're sure to find plenty of bugs.

Re: [Simile-Widgets] Re: Exhibit in IE 8
It looks like you are running a local copy of exhibit. If so, then a missing border suggests you might be missing a css file that describes the border---perhaps you didn't include all the css files when you made a local copy. these things are easier to debug when you give a link to an example of what's broken.

Re: [Simile-Widgets] Fwd: Announcing Dido, a WYSIWYG-editable exhibit
Ho Josef. There is limited undo/redo available through the wysiwyg editor interface; i can't guarantee it works right with the exhibit elements but it should work with everything else. Adding undo/redo to data edits makes a lot of sense but will take serious work; i'll keep it on the todo list. right now persistence is through file saving---since the data is in the document, changing it and saving the document persists the changes. there's been some discussion of other backends (google spreadsheets, sql db) but nothing implemented yet.

Re: [Simile-Widgets] Re: Updating Exhibit data
right now, it does persist to a json file as you want---it's just hidden inside the html document, as you can see if you look at the dido.html source.

Re: [Simile-Widgets] Re: textarea issue in FF
If you are willing to settle for a textfield instead of a textarea, try input type=textfield ex:value-content=.textfield_content/textfield But as the comment says, you may also want to try Dido. Michiel wrote: Hi Ravi, I don't really understand why you want to use a textarea. Are you using an edit-lens? The reason why it fails in Fx is that the formatter.js adds the text in a span element as child to your textarea element. This is in violation with the html-standard, textarea elements should only contain plain text, no other elements. If you really must use a textarea element, a hack may be to extend the formatter where you add an extra option to text-formats and add something like this: appender(document.createTextNode(this.formatText(value)) to Exhibit.Formatter._TextFormatter.prototype.format, where you see the creation of the span element that is causing trouble for you. Not a nice solution, it would be better to avoid textareas. Perhaps Dido, the newest incarnation of Exhibit from MIT is more your thing.

Re: [Simile-Widgets] Changing the values of facet on the fly
For the future, it would be fun to think about how to extend exhibit
localization (which currently covers exhibits built-in terms regarding
sorting and filtering) to allow localization of property and item
labels. This would allow end users to experience the whole exhibit in
their chosen language (as opposed to experiencing it in the language of
the author).

Dear all,
I am using Exhibit to display a BibTex file (à la Citeline) : http://enroweb.com/citeulike2.html .
Therefore, the facet labels are BibTeX standards, and their values as well. I can change the labels
(ex:facetLabel) but I am stuck with the values as they stand in the source file. Now, I would like
to translate those into French (e.g. change techreport to rapport)? Is
there a way to change these values on the fly, between the processing of the date and their
display? Perhaps by customizing the Babel translator that I use?
Many thanks in advance,
Antoine

Re: [Simile-Widgets] simile-widgets.org down ?
I'll look into it but it may take some time given the holiday. I'm also going to start investigating an idea we've had for a way to run a second server to provide failover. In the meantime, as an emergency measure you may hotlink you script to the subversion repository (not recommend permanently as it is likely to be a bit slow to fetch); for example http://simile-widgets.googlecode.com/svn/exhibit/trunk/src/webapp/api/exhibit-api.js . Alternatively, I have made a copy of the apis for exhibit and timeline available at http://projects.csail.mit.edu/exhibit/api/exhibit/exhibit-api.js and http://projects.csail.mit.edu/exhibit/api/timeline/timeline-api.js (apologies for the slightly odd urls).

Re: [Simile-Widgets] Using SUM of INT field as item count in Exhibit
I don't completely follow what you need; that would be easier if we
could see the whole example exhibit instead of the json fragment. Are
you trying to keep the json small or keep the exhibit output small?

In an Exhibit, I have a JSON data source where 90% of the items have

JSON-fragment example. Instead of...
{label : foobar},
{label : foobar},
{label : foobar},
{label : foobar},
{label : bar},
{label : bar}
...the items are grouped together as...
{label : foobar,numberOfItems: 4 },
{label : bar, numberOfItems: 2 }
But this creates a problem for the facet count, which will display
foobar 1
bar 1
Is it possible to use the SUM of the numberOfItems-field as facet
count instead of counting the number of JSON objects? So that the
facet count will look like
foobar 4
bar 2

[Simile-Widgets] Re: Announcing Dido, a WYSIWYG-editable exhibit
You can already do so. Edit the lens and use the add lens content icon () . You'll get a dropdown you can use to add fields for existing properties, but you can also click use advanced expression and, in the resulting textfield, fill in a new attribute (including the leading period). When you go back to the display view that field will be editable and you can assign values to it. Once you have done so you will be able to create a facet to filter on the values you created.

It would also be inconsistent with SMW practice. But I would still be in favor of it. In fact, the SMW exhibit framework _does_ read its data from a table---the table containing the results of the query is rendered into the result page, and that table is where our extension finds and reads the data it should render. Conceivably, you could hack a page to contain that table without executing a query, and our extension would happily read it. I did install the old wibit version fiddled with it till I got it working and them broke it again. can i run both? no fundamental barrier, though I suspect in practice something would break.
