Folks, this looks really fantastic, way to go!!
I'd really love to contribute to this, as time allows, BTW.
* Data (one or more sets of data, can be geojson, topojson, tsv, csv,
layers from OSM [3], OHM [4], etc.)
<snip />
* Datasets in WikiData using an alternative data model
I'm especially interested in what could be done with Wikidata queries,
and hooking those into a Wiki's metadata. I think this has tons of
potential for analyzing contributions to Wikipedia in a collaborative
way. A bit a la Wikimetrics but with many more options for pulling in
and hooking up data of various sorts, on-wiki.
It would also be great to hook this into activity feeds for sets of
users or articles, for example, so you could go back and forth between a
stream of edits and aggregate data about them, or maybe even overlay a
graph on a stream of edits along a timeline.
Finally, it would be nice to be able to define data transformations and
visualizations in a modular way. For example, if one user has an
interesting data set or Wikidata query that pulls in information on
events related to a certain topic, and another user has defined a nice
way of visualizing events on a timeline, a third might be able to use
the first user's data with the second user's visualization defintion, or
even bring in data on a different set of events, and display both sets
in a single visualization, etc., etc. Mmm, just a thought...
It's a word that means "to illuminate": Limn [5].
3) It's a word that is difficult to translate.
How about "Munge"? As in, it munges data so you can view it in different
ways? That's easy to translate! Rhymes with "grunge"...
Cheers,
Andrew

By the way, the Vega work is deployed to this wiki:
http://analytics-wiki.wmflabs.org/mediawiki/Main_Page#Visualization
Jon/DJ/Aude, if you want I can add a more generic proxy name for that wiki
and put your stuff on there too? It's in the analytics project in labs but
I'm happy to give anyone rights to it.

I like Visual:, any +1s? +2s?
The only downside might be a slight conflict with VisualEditor

During the Zurich hackathon, DJ Hartman, Aude and I knocked up a
generic maps prototype extension [1]. We have noticed that many maps
like extensions keep popping up and believed it was time we
standardised on one that all these extensions could use so we share
data better.
We took a look at all the existing use cases and tried to imagine what
such an extension would look like that wouldn't be too tied into a
specific use case.
The extension we came up with was a map extension that introduces a
Map namespace where data for the map is stored in raw GeoJSON and can
be edited via a JavaScript map editor interface. It also allows the
inclusion of maps in wiki articles via a map template.
Dan Andreescu also created a similar visualisation namespace which may
want to be folded into this as a map could be seen as a visualisation.
I invite Dan to comment on this with further details :-)!
I'd be interested in people's thoughts around this extension. In
particular I'd be interested in the answer to the question "For my
usecase A what would the WikiMaps extension have to support for me to
use it".
Thanks for your involvement in this discussion. Let's finally get a
maps extension up on a wikimedia box!
