In my own research, I’m using a free web-based data visualization tool to understand how grantees of the TACT program are reporting their experience working with OER. The app I’m reference is called RAW, and is a free browser-based app that takes advantage of javascript (d3.js) to let just about anyone visualize datasets in a variety of graph types. It’s being developed by a group called Density Design, based in Milano. And if you’re using the OpenAttribute browser plugin, you already have a dataset worth taking a look at inside their app. While checking a website for a proper machine-readable license by using OpenAttribute earlier this week (by clicking on the attribution man in the address bar), I noticed a button labeled, “More Data” when the dialogue box dropped down.
