You might want multiple sensors to sense temperatures for the air temp
and a beaker of boiling water for a lab expiriment, or you may have
several devices that need to have the temp monitored.
As for the schematic. I have only done up to two chips at a time. You
may need to add external power beyond that, because sometimes, even with
only two chips, you may get an error reading one.
The most basic schematic simply connects the Gnd, 5v+, Data, and Clock
lines to both chips, in parralel. For extra power, the SPinTerface could
be used, but I don't know exactly how to go about that. I think that you
could just connect the 5v+ to the connection between the capacitor and
the diodes. Then cross the activation pins.
If I'm wrong, then someone correct me. (:
