[open-science] Open Science Data Image/Visualisation

[Rufus Pollock]

There was this timemap of papers from IuCR done by Ben O'Steen as part
of the JISC OpenBib project:

<http://benosteen.com/timemap/index>

Ben also did this pretty cool visualization of the medline data (also
done as part of JISC OpenBib project). See the final product post for
details:

Demo video:

Interactive version (needs good browser and right graphics card!):

The other simple thing is to use a wordle (such as those use for the WG site)
