VizWit integration

[iltempe]

I've seen VizWit dashboard and I'm very impressed of this. Do you think is possible make an integration with JKAN to create a dahsboard?

Thanks @iltempe! If the data you're trying to make a vizwit page for resides in a data store such as Socrata, CKAN, ArcGIS Online, DKAN, etc., you can create a vizwit page for it and then put the link to that page into JKAN as one of the dataset's resources. Beyond that, the only thing I can think of is to embed vizwit cards on the dataset page.

@iltempe what sort of integration were you thinking? I stubbed out the functionality I think @timwis was alluding to above where you could put a vizwit embed on a dataset page. Screenshot below. I'm trying to decide if it makes more sense to do this per resource or per dataset. If it's per resource, I think copying the CKAN "preview" page is a good way to go.

Yes. I was thinking to some dashboards to view data linked in JKAN and VizWit seems a good solution. My problem is that my website is intended for “common people” and not for technicians ….so something that can make more simple reading of data. Should be for each dataset.

I was thinking to some tool to integrate in JKAN in order to be more simple for all to have the dashboard after the setup…

Your is a good solution.

It's as simple as adding another dataset field that allows HTML and gets included on the dataset page. @timwis what do you think?

[timwis]

Hm, you know, one thing I've always thought was missing from data portals like CKAN is a way to get a snapshot of the data when you view the dataset page. It sounds like you're suggesting just that -- a way to preview a dataset? This would be one per dataset rather than one per resource? If that's the case, we could actually make use of the content section of the front matter rather than creating another front matter property. You could put any kind of markdown or HTML there you want.

Just thinking out loud here...there's obviously the potential for this to broaden the scope of JKAN a little too far, and perhaps #15 is a better solution to this stuff anyway. But maybe you're on to something here.

(note, though, this doesn't solve the "low-tech users" issue)

Have you looked at this http://datausa.io/ ? This use the technology http://d3plus.org/ a library for dataviz.
