HelMet-library data visualization

The video contains an example use of a visualization of the HelMet-library database. The visualization is an icicle from the Jit -javascript library. The categorical structure of library classes is visualized and a heatmap coloring is used to show the sizes of various categories. The visualization goes all the way to individual books, which link to the books information at the Helsinki Metropolitan area library's website. Thanks to HelMet for opening this data!
