Exhibit lets you easily create web pages with advanced text search and filtering functionalities, with interactive maps, timelines, and other visualizations. Developed by MIT. Written in JavaScript, JSON.
 
  
This "data publishing tool" was created through MIT's Simile Project (http://www.simile-widgets.org/exhibit3/ExhibitPR.pdf). Cultural centers, libraries and institutions that handle large amounts of information can import data from spreadsheets into a web-based application (called Babel) that converts the text into to an html file that can be edited. A text editor such as Notepad or TextEdit is needed to add code that is written in JavaScript (JSON) to create online data visualizations.

Exhibit gives institutions the ability to present a target communities data to a worldwide audience by creating webpages that can be freely accessed online. The visualizations produced by Exhibit are searchable. Templates for HTML Exhibit pages and the JSON data files are available for free on the [http://simile-widgets.org/wiki/Exhibit#Templates Exhibit Wiki].
