tFacet

tFacet applies known interaction concepts to allow hierarchical faceted exploration of RDF data. The aim is to facilitate ordinary users to formulate semantically unambiguous queries so as to support the fast and precise access to information. Used interaction concepts are e.g. a directory tree and interchangeable columns that are already well-known from other applications. The directory tree, for example, is used to enable the intuitive exploration and selection of hierarchical facets. tFacet is based on the open source framework Adobe Flex and uses SPARQL to access RDF datasets.

The GeoNewsMiner (GNM)

This is a project that had as goal to show on a map the references to geographical location from the text of publications from Italian language newspapers published in the United States between 1898 and 1920. They have made the code and dataset publicly available on GitHub and hence can be used by scholars with a similar project. A review of this project is available here https://utrecht-university.shinyapps.io/GeoNewsMiner/
