MapHub

Maphub is a web portal for georeferencing and annotating digitized historic maps. Georeferencing transforms the map image to align with real world geographic coordinates, while the annotations are overlaps plus notes. Maphub suggests possible tags for the annotation based on its text and location; tags link to related Wikipedia articles. Once created, user-contributed annotations are shared via the Maphub Open Annotation API. A first prototype of Maphub, using digitized maps from the Library of Congress’ Map Division, can be found at http://maphub.herokuapp.com/.

Silk

Silk is a platform for sites that contain collections of information. It's like the Tumblr for websites that have structured content–like software reviews, information about designers, a site with UN datasets, and more. When you have created your site (manually or by uploading one or more datasets), you can visualize and filter your data in a few ways. You can create graphs if your pages contain numbers, maps if you have locations, and filtered tables for just about anything. These visualizations and tables are interactive: anyone can play around with the variables to get the answer they need from the data.
