 The SOCR MotionCharts can be used in a variety of applications to visualize dynamic relationships in multidimensional data in up to 5 dimensions, plus a 6 temporal component. The applet's design and implementation allow for extensions enabling and supporting higher dimensions plug-ins. The overall purpose of SOCR MotionCharts is to provide users with a way to visualize the relationships between multiple variables over a period of time in a simple, intuitive and animated fashion.

 The figures below represent snapshots of the generated dynamic SOCR motion chart. In the real applet, you can ''play'' (animate) or ''scroll'' (1-year steps) through the years (2000, ..., 2006). Notice the position change between different snapshots of the time slider on the bottom of these figures. Also, mouse-over a blob triggers a dynamic graphical pop-up providing additional information about the data for the specified blob in the chart.

 == Data type and format ==
-SOCR Motion Charts currently accepts three types of data: numbers, dates/time, and strings. With these data types, we feel that the application is able to handle the majority of data out here. We use the natural ordering of these types as defined by Java however. While many types of data can be interpreted as a string, it may not make sense to use lexicological ordering on all the different types. When designing SOCR Motion Charts, we took this into consideration and designed the application so that it can easily be extended to provide a greater variety of interpreted types. Thus, a developer should be able to easily provide better type interpretation for particular types of data.
+SOCR Motion Charts currently accepts three types of data: numbers, dates/time, and strings. With these data types, the SOCR MotionCharts applet is able to handle the majority of data types. Internally, the applet uses the ''natural (lexicological) ordering'' of these data as defined by Java primitive data types. While many types of data can be interpreted as strings, in some cases it may not be appropriate to use string-data lexicological ordering. When designing SOCR MotionCharts, we took this into consideration and designed the applet so that it can easily be extended to provide a greater variety of interpreted types. Thus, a developer may easily extend the applet to provide another data type interpretation for specific types of data.
