VIDI is a suite of powerful intuitive Drupal data-visualization modules for anyone to use on any standard set of data.

The modules are based on well known Google Maps API and Google Visualization API and are written as styles for the Views module. The generated map visualizations and charts can be used to create static files that in turn can be embedded in other (even non-drupal) sites. All of these features make this suite of modules a significant addition to the Drupal family.

    A foundation for change - Drupal on top

    Thomas Angermann 1 July 2010
    Type:  Session in official program

    TING.concept is a project initiated by the two largest public libraries in Denmark. The vision is to release all information in the libraries, make the user and staff knowledge visible, create relations between them that facilitates interaction and place it in a context where it gives meaning to the users.

    The ever increasing consumption of digital media in our wireless and always connected world should be good news for the libraries. The interest in and availability of books, film, music and games has never been bigger. But the libraries are stuck with: old systems on proprietary platforms, new requirements implemented slowly, data and function lock in, information silos, an increasing need to integrate incompatible systems for each new data format and supplier and finally a plethora of strange user interfaces far from common internet standards.
