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?
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.
Make a great day,
Max Klein ‽

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.
Cheers
Lydia
