Collaboration
XML-based software application for structured authoring and editing documents and content collaboration. Features: Spellchecker, thesaurus, track changes and other word processing functionality Configurable document view (normal, tagged, plain text) Resource Manager may be used to locate and insert items such as image files and text fragments. It works on the Microsoft operating system.
Creation
xMod is a desktop application which can transform a repository of XML into a completely finished website. The entire process can be setup and run to produce a basic website assuming some prerequisites: - a set of valid XML files. These would normally comply with a TEI DTD. - a configuration script that indicates the relationship between files - a 'personality pack' (CSS and image files) that determine its visual appearance. However if they are not present, the completed website falls back on a default look and feel. Some features include: - Batch file processing - Modular XSLT structure, with special libraries for different transformation scenarios - Ability to group files for generation of indices at document and intra-document level
Organizing
XnView is an image organizer and general-purpose file manager used for viewing, converting, organizing and editing raster images, as well as general purpose file management. It comes with built-in hex inspection, batch renaming and screen capture tools. It is licensed as freeware for private, educational and non-profit uses.

XSugar is a tool designed to manage dual syntaxes when working with XML documents, developed by the Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University. From a user-provided specification, XSugar translates between XML syntaxs, and makes statistical checks to ensure transformations will be reliably bidirectional and contain valid syntax in accordance with the schema.
Natural Language Processing
XTRACT was a tool for lexical collocation developed by Frank Smadja, then of Columbia University. It was designed to use statistical techniques to identify collocations of aribitrary length, and to generate syntactic relationships between words. This tool is no longer available and does not have a web presence.
