On the line fo what Mariano is saying, at Poderopedia we are working on a
prototype to do spreadsheet to D3. I am sure many other organizations and
hackers are working on similar things. If there is any people on this list
working on that we should talk about it. On our end we are mixing
spreadsheets, semantic web ontologies, D3 and coffeescript.
Cheers
