1. Add the following to one of your custom modules (tested in Drupal 6):

function exhibit_menu() { 

 $items['exhibit_nodes'] = array(
   'page callback' => 'exhibit_nodes',
   'access callback' => TRUE,
   'type' => MENU_CALLBACK
 );

}

function exhibit_nodes() { 

 define('EXHIBIT_DATE_FORMAT', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S');
 $result = db_query('SELECT n.nid FROM {node} n WHERE n.status = 1 ORDER BY n.nid');
 $items = array();
 while ($node = db_fetch_object($result)) {
   $node = node_load($node->nid);
   $items[] = array(
     'type'        => $node->type,
     'id'          => 'node/' . $node->nid,
     'label'       => $node->title,
     'author'      => 'user/' . $node->uid,
     'created'     => gmstrftime(EXHIBIT_DATE_FORMAT, $node->created),
     'changed'     => gmstrftime(EXHIBIT_DATE_FORMAT, $node->changed),
     'body'        => $node->teaser,
     'url'         => url('node/' . $node->nid, array('absolute' => TRUE)),
   );
 }
 $types  = array('node' => array('label' => t('Node'), 'pluralLabel' => t('Nodes')));
 $properties = array(
   'author'     => array('valueType' => 'item'),
   'created'    => array('valueType' => 'date'),
   'changed'    => array('valueType' => 'date'),
   'url'        => array('valueType' => 'url'),
 );
 print exhibit_json($items, $types, $properties);

}

function exhibit_json($items, $types = NULL, $properties = NULL) { 

 $exhibit_json = array(
   'items'      => $items,
   'types'      => $types,
   'properties' => $properties,
 );
 return drupal_to_js($exhibit_json);

}

2. Create a page with the following code (set the input format to ‘PHP code’):

<?php 

 drupal_set_html_head('<script src="http://static.simile.mit.edu/exhibit/api-2.0/exhibit-api.js" type="text/javascript"></script>');
 drupal_add_link(array('href' => base_path() .'exhibit_nodes', 'type' => 'application/json', 'rel' => 'exhibit/data'));
 return '<div ex:role="viewPanel"><div ex:role="view"></div></div>';

?>

3. Add facets to make it more functional:

<?php 

 drupal_set_html_head('<script src="http://static.simile.mit.edu/exhibit/api-2.0/exhibit-api.js" type="text/javascript"></script>');
 drupal_add_link(array('href' => base_path() .'exhibit_nodes', 'type' => 'application/json', 'rel' => 'exhibit/data'));
 $output = '

<table width="100%"> <tr valign="top"> <td ex:role="viewPanel"> <div ex:role="view"></div> </td> <td width="25%"> <div ex:role="facet" ex:facetClass="TextSearch" ex:facetLabel="Search"> </div> <div ex:role="facet" ex:expression=".type" </div> <div ex:role="facet" ex:expression=".author" </div> </td> </tr> </table> '; 

 return $output;

} ?>

This is a subset of the Drupal Exhibit module [1] (thanks Arto [2]).
