Introduction
============
`EEA Daviz`_ is a web tool developed by the European Environment Agency which
helps creating interactive data visualizations easily through the web
browser, no extra tools are necessary. It is free and open source.
You can generate attractive and interactive charts and combine them in a
dashboard with facets/filters which updates the charts simultaneously.
Data can be uploaded as CSV/TSV or you can specify SPARQL to query
online Linked open data servers (aka sparql endpoints).
Daviz is the first Semantic web data visualisation tool for Plone CMS,
entirely web-based!
At the moment `Simile Exhibit` and `Google Charts` visualizations are
supported. The architecture allows to extend Daviz with more
visualisation libraries (visualisations plugins).
