Intelligent Archive

Intelligent Archive is a Java application for stylometry, or computational and statistical analysis of style in texts, produced by the University of Newcastle's Centre for Literary and Linguistic Computing (CLLC). It can handle corpora of plain text, HTML, XML and TEI texts. IA enables you to easily organise texts into sets, manage metadata, generate word frequencies, handle XML tags, and split texts in various ways to generate results that can be exported for further analysis in statistical software. It includes some experimental stylometry techniques developed at the CLLC and special features for handling literary texts such as generating word frequencies for speaking characters in plays.

Manifold

Manifold Scholarship is an open-source publishing platform that enables authors and publishers a means to showcase and enhance the electronic content they already produce in their existing workflows: texts are displayed in a responsive, elegant reader crafted for all modern browsers and devices—desktop and mobile. Powerful built-in annotation and commenting systems allow readers to annotate, highlight, discuss, cite, and share passages from any Manifold text. Resources that are foundational to a particular discussion but that are often tabled because of physical, technical, logistic, or legal limitations can be layered dynamically and directly onto the digital text. And with Manifold, a new kind of publication is possible, one where authors create projects that grow iteratively and that are published online as they are created and then later in print, when they have been codified as versions of record. In short, Manifold transforms scholarly publications into living digital works.

Map Warper

This is an open source platform for georectifying scanned images of maps, so that they can be displayed in web maps or used in GIS applications. It could be particularly useful for creating map overlays for Google Earth or similar applications, without using specialized desktop software. Map images must first be uploaded and made publicly available, and then by aligning with Open Street Map reference data, the maps are warped into georeferenced images. Georectified images are downloadable as GeoTIFF, PNG, or KML files, along with map tiles or WMS capabilities. The same platform was used for NYPL Map Warper and WorldMap Warp.

MapHub

Maphub is a web portal for georeferencing and annotating digitized historic maps. Georeferencing transforms the map image to align with real world geographic coordinates, while the annotations are overlaps plus notes. Maphub suggests possible tags for the annotation based on its text and location; tags link to related Wikipedia articles. Once created, user-contributed annotations are shared via the Maphub Open Annotation API. A first prototype of Maphub, using digitized maps from the Library of Congress’ Map Division, can be found at http://maphub.herokuapp.com/.
