Hi David, 

Per you comment "If nothing better has been created in the past 13 
years...", are you aware of any tool(s) that could be used to re-build the 
President's Simile Exhibit that would be modern? More modern? All of the 
features in that demo - map, timeline, facets, search, tables - via modern 
technologies seem elusive.

Thanks
Drew
