  • SHANTI Interactive Visualizations Application (SHIVA) is an online application that makes it easy to produce interactive visualizations from various media - photographs, videos, texts - or easy to create structured data in the form of rows and columns within Google spreadsheets

  • SHIVA was inspired by David Weinberger's Small Pieces Loosely Joined: A unified theory of the Web; it is a simple and consistent interface that 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 to create charts, maps, images, timelines, video, and networks

  • The visualizations can be used as stand-alone webpages without requiring a website to store them, embedded into existing WordPress and Drupal sites, or combined into fully interactive visualizations, where sophisticated interactions between them can be easily made
