Hello, Semantic Result Formats (SRF), the add-on package for query formats in SMW, has just been extended with two great additions for powerful data visualisation: Ploticus and Exhibit.
* Ploticus (by Joel Natividad) is a format for creating diagrams based on the free Ploticus software package. It will provide a powerful alternative to the existing GooglePie and GoogleBar formats (which can only be used when sending all your data to Google). * Exhibit (by Fabian Howahl) is a format for creating dynamic data views where result sets can be browsed, filtered, and displayed in maps and timelines, based on the Exhibit software by MIT CSAIL. Some modest examples I have created so far are at [1] (try clicking on the criteria on the right) and at [2]. More information on Exhibit is available on the MIT blog [3], where there will also be some details on upcoming options for using this *across* sites (i.e. the data comes from one or more other wikis). There will also be Wordpress integration. Both new formats are still lacking regular documentation at semantic- mediawiki.org -- I hope that this will follow soon. Also, a number of bugs are expected (and partly known). Right now, the formats are only available from SVN, but the next SRF release will surely include them. Remember that non- stable formats need to be explicitly enabled *after* loading SRF, e.g.: require_once( 'extensions/SemanticResultFormats/SRF_Settings.php' ); $srfgFormats[] = 'exhibit'; Feedback is welcome (bugs can be reported at MediaZilla).
