It's not just geospatial representations of data, either ...
D-space has a "timeline" widget that plots data items against a time axis
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/ JFK assassination
imagine what you could do with an aggregated collection of history papers on
the same topics
A couple more examples:
History of religion
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/examples/religions/religions.html
Dinosaurs
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/examples/dinosaurs/dinosaurs2.html
Worth having a look at the other SIMILE projects too, they're not all just
for d-space
