Virtual Lightbox is a Java-base tool for comparing images online developed for the academic humanities, the library and museum community, and any users who use images as an important data type. It is available as both an application, which functions as a virual whiteboard and includes peer-to-peer, and an applet, which provides a flexible environment for image comparison. Virtual Lightbox was first developed in 2000, with version 2.0 of applet released in 2004.

Visualization
Visual Browser is a Java application for visualizing RDF data using the Jena framework. The resultant graphs are animated and permit users to expand and hide nodes and switch the view of edges, allowing them to focus on a small part of the network. The visualization engine is derived from TouchGraph LLC and follows the navigation approach of WebOFDAV, a system based on the concept of exploratory navigation to reduce chances of getting “lost in hyperspace” situation.
Search
Visual Understanding Environment (VUE) is a free, open source application for mapping concepts, ideas and digital content. It enables users to generate nodes and links, and apply a simple set of tools to explore the relationships. VUE is, in the words of its developers, an application to "integrate, organize and contextualize electronic content" in research or learning environments. Its tools include visualization, dynamic content mapping, semantic mapping, enhanced pathways and search functions.
Visualization
Easy-to-use web-based software for creating infographics and data visualization, including a platform to share your work and discover works by others.
