DataVis is a system for exploring, manipulating, and visualizing data. It consists of multiple components in multiple layers, each responsible for different elements of a complete system. This layer, DataVis ACE, is responsible for the acquisition and computation of data. This includes:
- Importing data — including via HTTP (using XML, JSON, or CSV), from a local file, or from a JS variable (e.g. one in a web page).
- Datatype-aware filtering, grouping and pivotting (including support for custom binning via “group functions”), and extensible aggregation.
ACE = Acquisition + Computation Engine
This will be expanded upon in the future.

The original DataVis project consisted of both the data processing and interactive UI functions. It has now been split into two projects: DataVis ACE (this project) and DataVis GLIDE (an intuitive but complete user interface to explore the data).
