Where's the demo?

• jackfoxy 16y ago
  When I refer to Facster.com as a "demo", most every link (except the obvious ones like external links and links to the contact page) is walking through the site content using features of the API. You could, for instance follow the links to browse all the 4,591 data series currently on the Facster graph. Searching currently requires an exact match on keyword (obvious room for improvement there). Search results are organized in a single fashion, but could theoretically be organized in many different ways. Also UIs could be devised to derive more value from available meta data. A RESTful interface could be bolted onto the system. In short, there are many other uses that could be made of the Facster graph. Look to the search results for instructions to derive custom data series through joining selections from disparate data series, and notice the search page keeps track of your custom selections during your session. So in other words "demo" means this is a very rudimentary use of a diverse unified data graph.
