YAGO is a semantic knowledge base of over 10 million entities, and over 120 million facts about those entities, developed by the Max Planck Institut Informatik. Its base derives from Wikipedia, WordNet and GeoNames, and the accuaracy has not only been manually evaluated, but relations are also provided with an annotation stating its confidence value. The YAGO ontology includes spacial and temporal dimensions, and integrates WordNet's thematic domains as well. It can be queried or browsed right from the website, and the full ontology is available for download.

The DfR Browser is a free, open source visualization interface for exploring aggragates of articles from the JSTOR database. It uses topic modelling, co-occurrances and document metadata to provide multiple views on the corpus of interest based on topic searches, via several specialized views such as scaled, list and yearly subviews. Users can test the DfR browser via the provided web demo, which incudes a broad selection of pre-loaded topics, or download the source code to use the tool with their own data. The tool's output can be imported into Mallet for further analysis.

Pastpin is a cultural search engine that aims to showcase the 7M historical images available from Flickr Commons.

Users are prompted to add new metadata (geocodes, temporal data) to existing images that they may recognise based on their current location. The goal of the project is to crowdsource spatial and temporal metadata for these objects.

Visitors to the site can search or browse by using free text, or by going directly to the map and clicking on a thumbnail to view images directly.

By designing and implementing services, the data can be manipulated, transformed and aggregated through an virtual object oriented programming interface driven by the data model. This allows sophisticated use cases where different user groups with different rights are presented a completely different application working on the same database. In these cases development time ranges between 2 and 20 days.

A Topincs online database can be rented for a monthly fee. Topincs provide all services related to an online database: data modeling, programming, and support. They have special rates for educational institutions. Topincs can also be used as a Platform as a Service where the dark art of Topincs modeling and development must be studied online. The underlying semantic technology, Topic Maps, is taught there through hands on examples and will change your view on information technology.

MyIndicators (http://myindicators.net/) is a digital, easy-to-use tool allows researchers, educators, students or anyone, to build their own tailored indicators (e.g. goals, strategies, parameters, survey, questions, calories intakes, alcohol consumptions or quantified self in terms of training, mood tracking or sleeping quality etc.)

The tool can be used for data collection, data storage, data analysis, data visualisation and export data (excel spreadsheet format). Easier to detect the trend and keep track based on the visualisation and using real time data.

There are free useful ready-made templates available for personal use. Besides research, education and quality industries, MyIndicators can be used by anyone who wishes to improve performance, achieve personal goals, promote healthy habits or gain personal insights. Educational and students discounts are available.

Upload, manage and share your files from one good looking, easy-to-use spot in the cloud.

The Open Science Framework (OSF) is a free, open source tool designed to help researchers manage the entire research workflow: planning, execution, reporting, archiving and discovery. It is part collaboration software and part version control system. The OSF can be used to manage individual projects or large collaborative ones. Privacy and sharing settings allow for fine-grained control over access to files and materials stored on the platform - share privately with collaborators or publicly with the community at large. Each project, contributor, and file on the OSF is given a persistent unique identifier, making all research products citable. The platform also mints DOIs and ARKs through DataCite. A collaborative wiki allows contributors to work on writing materials simultaneously.

API connections with other services (Github, Dropbox, Box, Dataverse, Google Drive, figshare, Zotero, Mendeley, Amazon S3) allow researchers to connect other services they already use in order to see all their materials in one place. The OSF also offers a registry for preregistering research projects and/or analysis plans.

HEURIST (http://HeuristNetwork.org) is an extremely flexible, end-user oriented, web-based data management system designed specifically for Humanities data. Developed since 2005, it has been in active use across many projects since 2009. It is available both as a free web service for researchers (hosted at the University of Sydney Data Centre) or for installation on a physical or virtual server (Open Source on gitHub).

Researchers can design, create, manage, analyse, visualise and publish their own richly-structured database(s) through a simple web interface, without the need for programmer(s). Quite complex databases can be built in a few hours by borrowing structures and vocabularies published by other users. Databases can be designed and built incrementally, as existing data are not affected by changes in structure. Databases created by Heurist are stored in MySQL with a repeatable structure facilitating sustainability and independent access by other software.

Advanced features include record linking, graph structure, drill-down facet searches, rule-based queries, custom reports, linked map-timelines, network visualisation, normalised spreadsheet import, crosstabulation, XML feeds, XSLT transforms. The team provides initial email and skype assistance for project setup at no cost, and special customisations at modest cost.

Heurist is applicable in many domains including History, Archaeology, Anthropology, Cultural Research, Linguistics, Media Studies etc. It handles everything from text, tags and categories, through networks of rich relationships and offset annotations, to images, video, spatial data and dating (including non-western systems and dating uncertainty).

Sophisticated searches (including faceted and rule-based) can be saved, organised and rendered as layered interactive maps, timelines, network visualisations, crosstabulations, lists, custom reports, XML and XSLT transforms, all of which can easily be printed or embedded (live) in a website - Heurist provides the html code required to embed results in a web page or CMS.

Databases can easily be migrated later to a personal or institutional server. Since the data are stored in a standard MySQL database with a fixed and well-documented structure, the data can be accessed directly via SQL from most programming languages independently of Heurist.

Version 4.2 (Jan 2016 onwards) is available as a service via the Heurist website. Version 4 delivers a user-customisable interface of widgets, along with better mapping and visualisation. Existing version 3 databases are bidirectionally compatible with version 4.

NowComment makes it easy to have rich, engaging discussions of online documents no matter how large (or small) your class or collaboration group. It's fast, powerful, and feature-rich: you can sort comments, skim summaries, create assignments, hide comments, highlight with multiple colors and meanings, and much more. Integrates to any LMS via LTI. Used in universities and K12 schools for the past 6 years.
