• It is "an interaction model that accommodates the   complexity and scale of information rather than the traditional structure of the   Web"
• Also, if you have an Open Data feed, create a view that combines the data you   want in that feed, enter it in CreatePivot, and you'll have a dynamic Pivot   Collection, with data taken from this feed!

• D3.js is a JavaScript library for manipulating documents based on data.
• D3 allows you to bind arbitrary data to a Document Object Model (DOM), and then apply data-driven transformations to the document. For example, you can use D3 to generate an HTML table from an array of numbers. Or, use the same data to create an interactive SVG bar chart with smooth transitions and interaction.

• Step 1 – Get PivotViewer
• I’m going to assume you already have Visual Studio 2010 and Silverlight 4 Tools installed.
• Step 2 – Get Pivot collection building tools
• Step 3 – Begin to build your collection data
• Step 4 – Build a Silverlight application implementing PivotViewer
• Step 5- Publish the result
