Another Javascript visualization tool enters the ring

Posted by on 17 Feb 2011 in Activity Log

To add to my list of SIMILE and Google Visualization, I'm also investigating Flot, a plotting library built on the JQuery framework. It looks to do almost exactly what I need it to do, and its learning curve is not nearly as steep as the other tools. After some fiddling and exploring Flot is the front-runner.

Capital Trials at the Old Bailey

Simon Devereaux has approximately 10,000 records of people convicted in potentially capital cases between 1710 and 1840 in London heard at the Old Bailey court. This project will create a web-based database which will allow interested researchers and members of the public to compose queries on that data (e.g. women charged with robbery 1710-1720). It must be able to support a range of queries and produce output allowing researchers to identify trends in judicial practice over that time.
