We want to implement graphical representation of tabulated data according to parameters defined by readers. For example: the absolute price of a kilo or rice in a variety of countries, the average income in a country or the price of a kilo or rice relative to average income.

We have identified a php script that does what we need but there may also be java that does the same - research continues.

I assume that our datatables will be stored outside EzPublish. Is this correct?

If so, is it possible to make that data searchable from within the EzPublish search?

Eg Query: the price of a kilo of rice in Ethiopia is....."

Also, and probably most importantly, can we embed this into an EzPublish article so that we can automatically generate graphs from our data and the graphs will be displayed in articles as they are rendered?

I can't find guidance in the documentation and I'd be grateful for any assistance.
