Swivel

This past month, the swivel phenomenon seems to be growing. The idea: people upload their spreadsheets, graph the data, and share it in a Web 2.0 kinda way.

See for example violent crime versus wine consumption.

Interesting things: no XML in sight - swivel imports .CSV files. Users search by the column headers (no semantics, etc.) See the caveats page for guidelines on importing.

See the video on this page for a more complex variant on the same theme.

If our data format was as simple could we do the same with ELP?
