Citeline

Citeline was a tool for publishing bibliographies and citation collections on the web. It takes a BibTex file exported from Endnotes, Refworks and similar tools and turns the collection into an interactive, shareable exhibit. Citeline citation collections may also be exported in a variety of formats, such as BibTex, JSON, XML or tab-separated values.

The Citeline project has been retired, and the website is no longer available. Information about Citeline is currently only available via the Internet Archive.

EURAC: Double Tree

Double Tree is a free, open source Java application providing a visualization component for supporting exploratory corpus analysis. It focuses particularly on analyzing concordances, and can also represent a KWIC for a single word by collapsing the contexts into a double sided tree. Each side of the tree can be expanded independently to browse the results.

EURAC: End to End

End to End is a visualization application for exploratory corpus analysis focused on collocations. This tool starts with two words and constructs a visual network of all collocations of those words within the corpus, while its interface enables interactive zooming and browsing of the resultant graph. Note: this tool is unavailable until licensing issues are resolved.

TACT (Text Analysis Computing Tools)

TACT (Text Analysis Computing Tools) is a historically important text analysis and retrieval system that was developed from 1986 to 1989 at the University of Toronto in cooperation with IBM and remained in use into the 1990s. It was designed to run in MS-DOS and permitted inquiries on text databases in a number of European languages. Originally available on two 1.44MB floppy disks, the full fileset is now available for free download.

GINGER II

GINGER II is a word-sense disambiguator for English, offering a new approach to the algorithm developed for GINGER I. It directly extracts semantic disambiguation rules from dictionary example phrases, and semantically tags, syntactically parses and disambiguates those examples. This legacy tool has no affiliated web site and is no longer available.

INTEX

INTEX is a linguistic development environment active until 2005. It includes large-coverage dictionaries and grammers, can parse texts of several million words in real-time, and tools to create and maintain large-coverage lexical resources, morphological and syntactic grammars, build lemmatized concordances and indices of large texts and identified semantic units.

NETMET

NETMET is a tool for generating and interpreting metaphors designed to run in DOS. Though this tool is no longer under development, it is still available for download. It includes a number of sample input metaphor files and is designed to be modified and improved as needed by the user.

Micro-EYEBALL

Micro-EYEBALL is a microprocessor version of the English language parser developed in the 1970s. This historically important legacy tool could also provide statistical descriptions of many linguistic features of a text. This tool is no longer available, and does not have a web presence.

Collate: Interactive Collation of Large Textual Traditions

Collate was a program designed for scholars concerned with the difficulties of medieval vernacular traditions. It aimed to help scholars with the preparation of critical editions, and could collate up to a hundred texts. Collate was also capable of handling marked up text. It was available for Macintosh only, and could be purchased directly from its creator.

XTRACT

XTRACT was a tool for lexical collocation developed by Frank Smadja, then of Columbia University. It was designed to use statistical techniques to identify collocations of aribitrary length, and to generate syntactic relationships between words. This tool is no longer available and does not have a web presence.
