Now this is the coolest thing I’ve seen in ages. The guy’s built a slick system that converts XML data into a visual ‘tree structure’ representation of the data by using XSL to transform the XML into SVG. (believe me, I tried to think of another acronym to stuff in there but couldn’t). Anyway take a look, you need adobe’s SVG plugin for your browser and you need a browser that handles javascript adeptly. I’ve tested it on the pc and it works fine, it failed in ns 4 on a mac though so proceed accordingly.

It’s totally applicable to some projects we have underway at work so if I’m lucky we’ll actually be using some form of this in the future on our adaptive learning project and possibly in conjunction with a database of marine organisms some of the staff are working on.
