Exhibit (part of the
SIMILE Project) is a lightweight, structured-data publishing framework that allows developers to create
web pages with support for sorting, filtering and rich visualizations. Oriented towards
semantic web-type problems, Exhibit can be implemented by writing rich data out to

Overview
Technically, Exhibit is a collection of JavaScript files to be included in a
web page. When Exhibit pages are loaded by a

JSON data files and builds a local database in the memory of the machine running the browser. Data can then be filtered and sorted directly in the browser without having to re-query the server. The design of Exhibit is optimized for browsing
faceted data.
The Exhibit code base is currently being developed by members of the SIMILE Project at
