(To set your expectations, we have a two year project plan - see the
Project Roadmap link under the logo on simile.mit.edu and look in the
appendix - and delivering editing is slated for the end of that roadmap.
Right now we're near the beginning of the roadmap).

You may want to look at our ISWC2005 installation of Semantic Bank.
http://simile.mit.edu/conference/iswc2005/
There you can switch views between the list, a geographic map, a
calendar, and a graph view of the data. I imagine it's possible to make
some changes regarding how individual results get processed to the point
where you could make a chart instead. You could pass the results from
Longwell on to another RESTful servlet that generates charts.

You deposit information into the bank by providing the location where
it's found. You can also delete information.
