[Gmod-ajax] Simile::Timeline

[Hilmar L. <hl...@gm...>]

SIMILE (http://simile.mit.edu) is a project MIT consisting of various  
subcomponents dealing with semantic interoperability and metadata.

One of their AJAX/JavaScript-based applications, called Timeline,  
displays temporal data along time axes of different resolutions, and  
the horizontal panel can be smoothly dragged with the mouse, much  
like Google Maps. The time axes move along, with different velocities  
based on resolution. See http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/ and the  
examples linked from there.

Obviously, I thought if you replace the time scales with genomic  
scales, and the temporal events with genomic features, you would  
pretty much have an AJAX-based genome browser.

Has anyone looked at this? Maybe some of the code there can be reused?

Just an idea ...
