Exhibit Handling Hierarchical JSON Data

2007-10-09 Thread Neil Ireson
Firstly I'd just like to add to the general well-done for releasing such a cracking bit of software... I was wondering what's the likelihood of Exhibit being able to support hierarchical data? Or I guess the question could be put as: a) is there any(strong) desire for such functionality, or

Dear Similes, I have data relating to art domain which includes information about artists and their art works. Artists - birth/death dates/locations, nationality, artworks, etc. Art works - materials, subjects, creation date, artist, etc. The ex:collection functionality allows me to have

Exhibit large data sets...

Hi all, My major sticking point with the using Exhibit is the limited number of items it can handle. I know this is not it's primary purpose, I think David has said somewhere that it is suited to display between 50-500 items, whilst I (and I believe others) would be interested in applying the

Apologies for my last post which seems to have been bundled somewhere along the way. It's worth noting that David wrote both Longwell-CSI and Exhibit, in that order. We are closing in on hopefully the right solution. First, we started with Longwell, which scales relatively well but

Hi David (and all), I know you said that the current implementation which connects the collections was only half a solution, generally things work fine, however in using it I have come across two issues. 1) The count in the facets relate to the base Collection when this is not always the

Hi all, I've just noticed that my exhibit throws an exception. If you go to the exhibit at http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~nsi/tate-collection.html open the subject facet and select architecture, then selecting any value from the Artist facets which would cause zero artwork items then the page
