In the pipeline
With * new * OSP Yi Jiang we are currently working on typography and lay-out for CROSS-over: Kunst, Media en Design in Vlaanderen, a publication edited by Liesbeth Huybrechts and published by BAM / Lannoo.
The book is layed-out in Scribus and contains various database visualisations generated in Inkscape (in collaboration with Michael Murtaugh). It will go to print by the end of this month.

I have been using Inkscape for some time and I am really curious about what you mention about data visualization. Inkscape is excellent for generating shapes, for example using a combination of autotracing, tiling clones and filtering colours, but what about this project? Are you using some custom script? Can you give some more details? thanks!

Yes we are using multiple custom scripts and it works very well.
We have created a php template which takes data from a database and produces a svg document with it. Than we use Inkscape’s connector network lay-out (align and distribute) and do final design and typography. We’re finishing the project right now and will try to publish the scripts here as soon as we find a bit of time. Curious what you will make of it!
