  • SHANTI Interactive Visualizations Application (SHIVA) is an online application that makes it easy to produce interactive visualizations from various media—such as photographs, videos, and texts

  • Also create visualizations from sets of your own numerical data, formatted in a Google docs spreadsheet according to the requirements of a particular visualization

  • SHIVA was inspired by David Weinberger's Small Pieces Loosely Joined: A unified theory of the Web; it allows easy and integrated access to open source and open access tools on the web, such as Google's Visualization Toolkit and Maps, YouTube, Vimeo, and Kaltura videos, the SIMILE timeline from MIT, and images from ARTstor, Flickr, and Picasa

  • Use SHIVA in conjunction with these open access tools to create charts, maps, images, timelines, video, and networks

  • The visualizations you create can be used as stand-alone webpages, embedded into existing WordPress and Drupal sites, or combined into fully interactive visualizations, where you can make sophisticated interactions between them
