Alveo

Alveo is a platform for data discovery and analysis focused on communication data such as speech, text or video. Developed by the University of Western Sydney, researchers can use the Alveo infrastructure to store data, create collections, develop workflows, and analyze datasets with Alveo's built-in tools. The tools available span multiple disciplines and include common functions such as tokenization and concordance, plus interfaces between Alveo and other common analysis tools such as Apache's UIMA for NLP, and with programming languages such as Python and Java. Users can segmented and recombined data from multiple collections into a new, focused dataset for close analysis. Collection creators can set their own license and access rights, and users of a collection must accept the creator's conditions in order to use data from it. User accounts are free, but must be requested from and approved by Alveo.

SemLens

SemLens is a tool for visualizing and analyzing RDF data developed as part of the Visual Data Web toolset and based on the Adobe Flex open source framework. Using SPARQL to access the user's dataset, it arranges RDF data into a scatter plot which can be analyzed via semantic lenses generated based on the dataset, and with logical operators. The tool provides a global overview of the user's dataset, and can do so even for large datasets.

tFacet

tFacet applies known interaction concepts to allow hierarchical faceted exploration of RDF data. The aim is to facilitate ordinary users to formulate semantically unambiguous queries so as to support the fast and precise access to information. Used interaction concepts are e.g. a directory tree and interchangeable columns that are already well-known from other applications. The directory tree, for example, is used to enable the intuitive exploration and selection of hierarchical facets. tFacet is based on the open source framework Adobe Flex and uses SPARQL to access RDF datasets.

minezy

minezy is a prototype application for exploring and mining large email archives. Its interface is designed to make it easy to find the answers to common questions: who the message originator was, when messages were sent, how frequently, who was included in the exchange, and the subject and content. The app interface is designed around search, filters and a series of panels that open to the right when results and sub-results are clicked on. The prototype can be tried out via the minezy website, and is pre-loaded with the Enron collection of emails for exploration.
