Visualization
D3.js is a free, open source JavaScript library for manipulating documents with data utilizing HTML5, SVG and CSS3. It is designed to create visualizations that work with current web standards to make the best possible use of the most recent browsers without requiring a proprietary framework. This tool allows users to bind data to an Document Object Model (DOM) and apply data-driven transformations to the document.
Visualization
Data Desk is a commercial application for data exploration, analysis and visualization available for both OS X and Windows systems. It uses a graphical user interface to provide numerous tools for working with data, and can generate several distinct views. Notably, the program is designed from an exploratory rather than inferential analysis perspective. An academic license is available for users with a .edu email address; academic users without a .edu address can purchase by contacting Data Description, Inc. directly. A trial license is also available.
Visualization
Data Desk implements traditional statistical techniques using a simple graphic display interface for data exploration. The program focuses specifically on the visual exploration of data.
Collaboration
Aimed at the TEI editing community and intended to be run inside oXygen, the Data Dictionary Generator (DDG) generates profiles of every element and attribute appearing in a TEI file. Each entry includes a definition from the TEI Guidelines, a local, project-specific definition (if provided), and a brief snapshot of how the element or attribute is actually being used. By making it easy to compare these three things, the DDG aims to help project editors reflect on current practice within their projects and quickly create stronger encoding guidelines for their collaborators.
Capture
