Analysis
REDUX was a natural language processing program for making generalizations from cases such as case studies, legal cases, case histories and so forth. It searched for repeated patterns, and was presented as a metalanguage for the analysis of the behavior of types.
Analysis
RelFinder is an RDF relationship discovery tool developed as part of the Visual Data Web toolset and based on the Adobe Flex open source framework. It is designed to provide an overview of RDF data through interactive visualization and exporation. Features include highlighting and filtering, and the tool permits both global and detail views. It is optimized for RDF data that provided standard SPARQL access.
Analysis
RiTa is a free, open-source natural language library for work with generative literature, offered as both a 'core' package of jar files and documentation, and a text-to-speech package. It is designed to be simple and intuitive while still offering flexibility to advanced users via statistical models for tagging, chunking and parsing. RiTa may also be integrated with Processing.
Analysis
RoSE is a web-based system blending social computing with humanities bibliographical resources, enabling these resources to be explored as a social network. It incorporates data mined from YAGO and Project Gutenberg, offers profile pages for both persons and documents, keywords, and visualizations of the relationships between people and documents. Users are encouraged to contribute metadata supplementing the standard bibliographical data.
Analysis
RQDA is a free R package for qualitative analysis, developed specifically to analyze textual data. It is available for Windows, Linux/FreeBSD and Mac OS X. It currently requires texts to be in plain text format. RQDA supports non-English texts, and has been tested with Simplified Chinese in particular.
Analysis
RSiena is a free, open source social network analysis package for R. It replaces Siena (Simulation Investigation for Empirical Network Analysis), which was a stand-alone program for Windows. Like its predecessor, RSiena is optimized for social network data, but is also applicable to other forms of network data, and relies on Markov chain models to generate network dynamics. T his approach is best applied to data where relations between actors and their behaviour can be treated as a state rather than as an event. Users not familiar with R can run RSiena via the provided graphical user interface.
