Analysis
KLIC (Key Letter in Context) was a program for graphological anaylsis particularly useful to scholars analyzing the language of medieval texts, created by Grace B. Logan of the Waterloo Arts Computing Office. It assisted in determining where different spelllings represent different pronunciations, and when they are variant spellings of the same word.
Publishing
LibLime's Koha is a web-based, open source integrated library system (ILS) that has also been used for virtual library systems (e.g. recreating historic libraries). LibLime Koha offers libraries circulation policies, patron management modules, parent-child relationship for patron records, club and service management features, in-depth "holds" support, single click batch import "undo" option, EzProxy compatibility, self-checkout interface and more.
Search
KonText is a basic web application for querying corpora available within the LINDAT/CLARIAH-CZ project. It allows evaluation of simple and complex queries, displaying their results as concordance lines, computing frequency distribution, calculating association measures for collocations and further work with language data.
Organizing
KORA is an open-source, database-driven, online digital repository application for complex multimedia objects (text, images, audio, video) created by MATRIX. The application ingests, manages, and delivers digital objects with corresponding metadata that enhances the research and educational value of the objects. KORA's flexible architecture can accommodate any metadata scheme allowing for individualized digital collections with differing contents and metadata structures.
Content Analysis
Korbo is a powerful aggregation platform for gathering Linked Data objects relevant to your area of research into single workspaces or “baskets”. Korbo is targeted primarily at developers who want to build applications on top of its API and make full use of the linked cultural data from sources such as Europeana, FreeBase and DBPedia. Korbo is currently in the early stages of development, but you can already try out a demo version of the platform.
Collaboration
Kubity is a cloud-based 3D communication tool that works on desktop computers, the web, smartphones, tablets, augmented reality gear, and virtual reality glasses. Kubity is powered by several proprietary 3D processing engines including "Paragone" and "Etna" that prepare the 3D file for transfer over mobile devices. 3D images can be uploaded and enhanced and used in an artificial reality environment. It also has augmented reality features. It can be used in architecture, interior design, engineering, product design, film and video games among others. The majority of its users create 3D models using SketchUp or Autodesk Revit software.
