Bibliopedia

Bibliopedia will perform advanced data-mining and cross-referencing of scholarly literature to create a humanities-centered collaboratory. As a prototype, it will search resources including JSTOR and Library of Congress for metadata about scholarly articles and books that mention the famed medieval travel narrative The Travels of Sir John Mandeville, examine the articles and books for citations, then save the results in a publicly accessible database. Although using works centered around a single text as a test case, Bibliopedia will be designed to work with all humanities scholarship. Bibliopedia will also allow users to create browsable and customizable bibliographies of all the works cited by each article and book. Most importantly, it will use semantic web technology to perform automated textual analysis, data extraction, cross-referencing, and visualizations of the relationships among texts and authors. Bibliopedia will crawl, aggregate, cross-reference, and display multiple scholarly repositories such as JSTOR, Library of Congress, Project Muse, and Google Books. The project will transform bibliographic data that is currently readable only by humans into machine-readable data via semantic web technology, which will make scholarly resources available for automated analyses, inferences, and visualizations.

Collaboration

Mediathread

Mediathread is an open-source platform for exploration, analysis, and organization of web-based multimedia content. It interoperates with a variety of image and video collections (such as YouTube, Flickr, library databases, and course libraries), enabling users to lift items out of these collections and into a scholarly analysis environment. In Mediathread, items can then be clipped, annotated, organized, and embedded into compositions and other written analysis.

Organizing

Meaki

Meaki has a built in social component, clipsets are public and can be browsed by anyone. Meaki is a brower application. Just make an account on Meaki.com and put the “Bookmark Button” in your bookmarks toolbar. Once you come to a webpage you want to clip, click on the Meaki button, and it will guide through clipping and saving the page. Features: Simple and easy to use. Save webpages for later viewing purposes – never loose a website you love. Search other clippings and Clipsets on Meaki to find new and interesting websites. *NB At the time this review was written (Nov 10/14) the Meaki.com website was not online and no message about the future of the service was available.
