This document provides an introduction to structured data presentation tools for digital humanities scholars. It discusses Exhibit, a lightweight framework for presenting, searching, and faceted browsing of digital collections. The document gives an overview of Exhibit's capabilities and includes code examples for basic implementation. It also discusses other tools like Omeka, Prezi, and visualizations in TimeFlow, Google Fusion Tables, Dipity and Many Eyes. The document concludes with a hands-on exercise to install and configure Exhibit.

- 7. Dipity
- 8. Many Eyes
- 9. Hands-On Exercise: Simile Exhibit
- 10. Setup and Preparation Opera Browser contains a server if you need; Available from opera.com; Need to install opera unite - unite.opera.com; Need to copy datafiles: http://myeye.ie/ftp1/exhibit/nobelists.js?action=raw http://myeye.ie/ftp1/exhibit/index1.html You can find instructions at: http://myeye.ie/ftp1/exhibit/ recipe.txt
- 11. Background on Exhibit Exhibit was developed at MIT to provide a lightweight framework for the presentation, searching and faceted browsing of digital collections. Exhibit lets you easily create web pages with advanced text search and filtering functionalities, with interactive maps, timelines, and other visualizations
- 12. So What?... Little programming (JavaScript Template); No database (JSON text); a series of useful ‘instantly interactive’ visualisations.
- 13. Background http://www.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/ A couple examples… Canadian Network for Economic History Comox Valley Crime Stoppers
- 14. Exhibit in a Nutshell
