Weave – Web-based Analysis and Visualization Environment
From the webpage:
Weave (BETA 1.0) is a new web-based visualization platform designed to enable visualization of any available data by anyone for any purpose. Weave is an application development platform supporting multiple levels of user proficiency – novice to advanced – as well as the ability to integrate, disseminate and visualize data at “nested” levels of geography.
Weave has been developed at the Institute for Visualization and Perception Research of the University of Massachusetts Lowell in partnership with the Open Indicators Consortium, a nine member national collaborative of public and nonprofit organizations working to improve access to more and higher quality data.
The installation videos are something to point at if you have users doing their own installations of MySQL, Java, Tomcat, or Flash for any reason.
I would quibble with the installation of Tomcat using “root” and “password,” as the username and password for the admin page of Tomcat. Good security is hard enough to teach without really bad examples of security practices in tutorial materials.
The visualization capabilities look quite nice.
