Hello Wikidatans,
I'd like to quickly introduce you ViziData [1], a data visualization app that I wrote as part of my bachelors thesis last year and will work on improving in the coming months. It displays the geographical and temporal location of events (currently only births and deaths of humans are available in the prototype). The data is extracted from Wikidata with Wikidata Toolkit.
The tool means to show an interesting use of the data in Wikidata (especially larger amounts) and can also give an impression about the quality and completeness of the collected data on a larger scale.
Planned improvements include: * other datasets to display * more efficient and useful timeline widget * embedded tile map for orientation * canvas rendering for performance * information about events (e.g. listing persons who were born at selected point) * code quality :S
The source is available on Github under the MIT license [2] and the corresponding paper can be read online [3] (in German only though). If you have any questions or concerns about this project, feel free to contact me :]

Very nice, Georg! Looking forward to more data sets to display.

Georg,
Nice viz! In your example you show births and deaths, so is your dataset, {items with date of birth} \intersect {items with place of birth}? In general are you thinking about visualising items that have birth a geo-cordinate and a time-coordinate?
Make a great day, Max Klein ‽ http://notconfusing.com/

Yes that is correct, or to be more precise, all items that are humans (instance of Q5) and have both, a time- and geo-coordinate. So if for example an item would have a birth date specified but no place of birth (or the other way around) it won't be included in the extracted births dataset.
Oh, and something that I forgot to mention earlier: The application is quite performance intensive and is best viewed in Chromium (or Chrome) if possible.

In this case we know humans (q5) are things that have time properties and geo properties. What are all the types of things that have time and geo properties?

Any time property. Human births and deaths were chosen for development mostly because of the size. Another imaginable example would be time and place of scientific publications.

I'd say anything that has statements with p instance_of Q18635217 (Wikidata property for specifying a location of an event) as well as statements with p instance_of Q18636219 (Wikidata property with datatype 'time'). Probably a lot.
But there is also the question what makes an "interesting" dataset. And that the visualization in it's current state doesn't make much sense for datasets with less than a few thousand items.
