Gephi, an open source graph visualization and manipulation software Palladio Palladio is a toolset for easy upload and careful investigation of data. It is an intertwined set of visualizations designed for complex, multi-dimensional data. It is a product of the "Networks in History" project that has its roots in another humanities research project based at Stanford: Mapping the Republic of Letters (MRofL). MRofL produced a number of unique visualizations tied to individual case studies and specific research questions. You can see the tools on this site and read about the case studies at republicofletters.stanford.edu. With "Networks in History" we are taking the insights gained and lessons learned from MRofL and applying them to a set of visualizations that reflect humanistic thinking about data.
Gallery Introduction At the beginning of the fall semester, I showed up to my Thursday night Business Law class ready to soak up all the information that was going to allow me to do well in the course. I’m a ‘laptop student’, so usually once the teacher starts talking, I’m go go go, typing away until the lecture is over. The end result is ten pages of notes that I think will be useful once midterm and final exam times come. But this night is different. As I get my fingers ready for speed typing, I look around at all other 239 students also ready to play stenographer, and I realize that there has to be a better way to do this. Choosing VUE So sticking to my ‘inquiring green’ personality type, I set off on a quest to find a better way to maximize my knowledge absorption from the lecture. Overcoming Linear Boundaries With VUE I was able to get more out of the lecture for some very basic reasons. Dealing with information overload
logstalgia - Project Hosting on Google Code Logstalgia (aka ApachePong) is a website access log visualization tool. Description Logstalgia is a website traffic visualization that replays or streams web-server access logs as a pong-like battle between the web server and an never ending torrent of requests. Requests appear as colored balls (the same color as the host) which travel across the screen to arrive at the requested location. Successful requests are hit by the paddle while unsuccessful ones (eg 404 - File Not Found) are missed and pass through. The paths of requests are summarized within the available space by identifying common path prefixes. Requirements Logstalgia requires a video card supporting OpenGL. As Logstalgia is designed to playback logs in real time you will need a log from a fairly busy web-server to achieve interesting results (eg 100s of requests each minute). An example access log is included. Supported Log Formats NCSA Common Log Format (CLF) "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" Controls Donations Related Software News
What is the Spatial Turn? · Spatial Humanities “Landscape turns” and “spatial turns” are referred to throughout the academic disciplines, often with reference to GIS and the neogeography revolution that puts mapping within the grasp of every high-school student. By “turning” we propose a backwards glance at the reasons why travelers from so many disciplines came to be here, fixated upon landscape, together. For the broader questions of landscape – worldview, palimpsest, the commons and community, panopticism and territoriality — are older than GIS, their stories rooted in the foundations of the modern disciplines.

Architecture Freeplane is a Java Swing application that has two major variants: Standalone desktop application (full functionality) This is the application most people know. The distribution contains also a Portable version of the desktop application. It's just a different style of packaging the application to make it portable on USB sticks etc. but it's not another application. The desktop application architecture is based on the OSGi framework. The fact that Freeplane is build on OSGi has the following consequences: All of Freeplane's components are packaged as OSGi bundles (aka "plugins"). We use Eclipse as development enviroment with OSGi support. The browser applet does not use functionality contributed by the plug-ins. Projects All major components have their own project (toplevel directory in the version control system and an Eclipse project) and they are build into separate JARs. $ cd "/Program Files/Freeplane" $ find . Startup sequence cd "/Program Files/Freeplane" java \ -jar . Overview

Exploring Big Historical Data: The Historian's Macroscope Welcome to the companion site for Exploring Big Historical Data: The Historian’s Macroscope, published by Imperial College Press. If you want to buy a copy, you can purchase one for $39.00 USD. Feel free to visit our original live-written fully open draft website, which is still online – and if you like what you see, you can always buy the book! On this site you will find code, essays (things we liked from the draft that did not fit), and datafiles that go with our book. The first draft’s interactive visualizations can be found here. •Diversity is vital to digital history, and our readers should consider it an essential additional chapter. Illustrations in the print book are in black-and-white. If you want clickable footnotes (which you probably do!) If you’re curious who we are, you can learn more about us here.

Scientific Collaboration Networks According to Antonio Perianes-Rodriguez and from the perspective of Library Science and Documentation, little research has yet been conducted on scientific networking and its possible uses in ascertaining the composition of research groups, the differences in associations between specialities or departments, and the different policies that may be followed in this regard, depending on the institution or the domain analyzed. Traditionally, most studies on scientific collaboration have been geared to analyzing output, be it international or domestic, of a given scientific discipline or a research institution. Studies on smaller units such as departments or research groups are however less common.
