Hello and thanks to everyone who has helped to put together the SIMILE
project. I'm very impressed with Exhibit and am planning to use it as
a data exploration interface for some time series data.

Is it possible to use a CSV data source as input for the Exhibit
Timeplot extension? I see that it's possible when using the standalone
Timeplot code (as in the example with Bush's ratings). I would lke to
use the Exhibit extension instead, as it comes with all of the nice
selection widgets. But when looking at the examples and code for the
Timeplot extension in Exhibit (timeplot-view.js), I couldn't see how
to load a CSV and then use a ColumnSource parameter. The comments in
the code say this:

        // There are two ways to specify a series, either by including
all
        // the data in one DB item or by connecting one value across
several
        // items.  Across several is checked first during the set.visit
() and
        // addEvent is called if found; if not, addSeries is called.

I know how to load the DB from a JSON file, using a <script> tag in
the head section of the html document:
    <link href="test-data.json" type="application/json" rel="exhibit/
data" />

My question is whether it is possible to load this DB from a CSV file?
Or would I need to transform the CSV into a JSON format (which I would
like to avoid)?

thanks
Dan
