Many Eyes Wikified is a wiki: a website where anyone who visits can edit and create pages using a simple markup language. However, unlike most wikis, this website also lets you record and visualize data.
You can add data tables or text documents to a Wikified page. These can be embedded directly in the page or linked from an external website. You can then easily create a number of rich visualizations of your data, laid out on the page however you like.
If your data is linked from an external website, Wikified will even maintain a live connection to that data. So, when the data changes, so does the visualization! You can use this to create "dashboards" that track the weather, posts in your favorite blogs, or your own real-time data sources.
Have a look at our example page, explore our visualization types, or learn more about editing pages in Wikified. If you encounter problems, make sure you check your browser and plugins against our Technical Requirements.
Many Eyes Wikified is a project of the Visual Communication Lab at IBM Research, partly funded by IBM Tivoli Software. Many Eyes Wikified is a wiki-based remix of another project of ours, Many Eyes.
Wikified is an exploratory project, with plenty of bugs and missing features. We'll be continually tweaking and updating it in the coming months. In the meantime we'd love to hear your opinions about it; please contact us and let us know what you think!
