VSim

VSim facilitates the real-time exploration of highly detailed, three-dimensional computer models in both formal and informal educational settings. Beyond real-time interaction with three-dimensional content, this NEH-funded software offers two critical functions for academic use of interactive computer models: the narrative feature allows users to create linear presentations within the virtual space (akin to PowerPoint or Prezi within a three-dimensional world), and the embedded resource section allows users to embed within the virtual space annotations and links to primary and secondary resources about the modeled environment.

MEItoVexFlow

(from web page)

A JavaScript library which provides a function for converting MEI

encoded music notation into drawing

instructions for the VexFlow music notation

rendering library.

meiView

(from web page)

Historical musical pieces make their way to us through multiple documents and it often happens that multiple sources introduce differences and variants in the music. meiView is an experimental web application designed to display 15–16th century music and provide a dynamic mechanism for the user to select which variant they want to see.

meiView is an open source software licensed under Apache 2.0. See the source code on

Github

VexFlow

VexFlow is an open-source online music notation rendering API. It is written completely in JavaScript, and runs right in the browser. VexFlow supports HTML5 Canvas and SVG.

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/.

AustESE

eResearch tools to support the collaborative authoring and management of electronic scholarly editions.

PyBossa

PyBossa is a free, open-source, platform for creating and running crowd-sourcing applications that utilise online assistance in performing tasks that require human cognition, knowledge or intelligence such as image classification, transcription, geocoding and more.

Timeflow

Time Flow is an open-source timeline built to help journalists analyze temporal data. The application offers several view modes--timeline, calendar, list, table--to help explore thousands of data points. It is not a web-based tool--it is a desktop application that can run off a thumb-drive and is built to handle large datasets, and timeline events that may include approximate dates or date spans. The project is in the alpha stage of development, but is available for download from Github.
