Almost Joanne, if the JSON includes property and type descriptions then Exhibit can do more with it. I raised the possibility basically because it would be nice to more precisely bridge the SW and Web 2.0 notions around mash-ups. A data set from neuroscience seems to me to be a logical example for us (HCLS) to work with. Another way of putting it: Linked Biomed data + analytical mash-up tools (also would be good to take some of the statistical findings and link them back to the data set...) -Eric On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 10:22 PM, Luciano, Joanne S. <jluciano@mitre.org>wrote: > Eric, > > FWIW, I noticed that Vispedia has a export to JSON to me that implies > that data from wiki/DBpedia can be exported and then included into > Exhibit mashups.
