A map can be integrated with the simile timeline control since version 6.x-1.5 of the mapping kit. The date fields of a WFS layer can be displayed as events on the timeline. The bands of the timeline are configurable.
But a good example dataset is still missing ...

[map baselayers="osm" controls="timeline" timeline="height=150,bands={day:50,week:30,year:20},firstband={numUnits:7}" /]

For the bands, you can choose interval units like: "MILLISECOND", "SECOND", "MINUTE", "HOUR", "DAY", "WEEK", "MONTH", "YEAR", "DECADE", "CENTURY", "MILLENNIUM", "EPOCH", and "ERA". The number following the interval unit represents the percentage of the total height.
