Eris Solver - Free Crowdsolver for Complex Problems

Eris Solver is a free crowd-solver for complex problems. It implements an innovative way to solve complex problems by adapting brainstorming technique to a Problem Tree Analysis and by channelling Collective Intelligence. When simple problem may require a unique solution to be solved, Complex problems behave differently and multiple solutions are sometimes necessary to solve them. On the contrary to simple problem that may not need further deepening, a complex problem may be broken up in multiple small ones that help us understand the big picture. Every branch of the issue tree represent a different aspect of the problem, problems can be decomposed this way until reaching the bottom line where solutions to the ultimate sub-issues are added. Eris Solver uses an interdisciplinary approach and users are allocated into six major areas of expertise

Corpkit

corpkit is a tool for doing corpus linguistics. It does a lot of the usual things, like parsing, concordancing and keywording, but also extends their potential significantly: you can concordance by searching for combinations of lexical and grammatical features, and can do keywording of lemmas, of subcorpora compared to corpora, or of words in certain positions within clauses. Corpus interrogations can be quickly edited and visualised in complex ways, or saved and loaded within projects, or exported to formats that can be handled by other tools. corpkit accomplishes all of this by leveraging a number of sophisticated programming libraries, including pandas, matplotlib, scipy, Tkinter, tkintertable and Stanford CoreNLP.

mapline

Mapline (previously Topo.ly) is a free and paid online service for capturing and geocoding spatial data from spreadsheets and creating point, territory and heat maps. It is free for limited use (quite generous) and paid when you need to map significant (we are talking substantial) datasets. It's intuitive, easy to use and produces high quality interactive maps. Free service has only minimal map customization options and does not include the visual analysis that is included with the fee options.

Data Dictionary Generator (DDG)

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.
