Ace

ACE (Auditing Control Environment) is a system that incorporates anew methodology to address the integrity of long term archives using rigorous cryptographic techniques. ACE continuously audits the contents of the various objects according to the policy set by the archive, and provides mechanisms for an independent third-party auditor to certify the integrity of any object. ACE consists of two components, the first an Audit Manager(AM) that checks files locally to ensure they have not been compromised. The second part, the Integrity Management Service (IMS), issues tokens that the AM can use to verify that its local store of file digests has not been tampered with.

ASV Toolbox

ASV Toolbox is a modular collection of tools for the exploration of written language data. They work either on word lists or text and solve several linguistic classification and clustering tasks. The topics covered contain language detection, POS-tagging, base form reduction, named entity recognition, and terminology extraction. On a more abstract level, the algorithms deal with various kinds of word similarity, using pattern based and statistical approaches. The collection can be used to work on large real world data sets as well as for studying the underlying algorithms. The ASV Toolbox can work on plain text files and connect to a MySQL database. While it is especially designed to work with corpora of the Leipzig Corpora Collection, it can easily be adapted to other sources.

Franken +

The Initiative for Digital Humanities Media and Culture (IDHMC) at Texas A&M University as part of its Early Modern OCR Project (eMOP) has created a new tool called Franken+ that provides a way to create font training for the Tesseract OCR engine using page images. This is in contrast to Tesseract’s document method of font training which involves using a word processing program with a modern font. ‘’'’Franken+ works in conjunction with PRImA’s Aletheia tool and allows users to easily and quickly identify one or more idealized forms of each glyph found on a set of page images. These identified forms are then used to generate a set of Franken-page images matching the page characteristics documented in Tesseract’s training instructions but using a font used in an actual early modern printed document.

Frog

Frog formerly known as Tadpole is an integration of memory-based natural language processing (NLP) modules developed for Dutch. All NLP modules are based on Timbl the Tilburg memory-based learning software package. Most modules were created in the 1990s at the ILK Research Group (Tilburg University the Netherlands) and the CLiPS Research Centre (University of Antwerp Belgium). Over the years they have been integrated into a single text processing tool. More recently a dependency parser a base phrase chunker and a named-entity recognizer module were added.

ImageMontage

ImageMontage creates montages of images without the need to load them into a stack first. The source images can be located in one or multiple directories. The images can also have different sizes. To fit images into a montage, the macro scales them vertically to the same user-specified size. Images are added horizontally until they no longer fit on the row and then a new row is started. This process is repeated until all source images are rendered. If you see that the generated montage does not include all source images, change the options to reduce the size of images and/or increase canvas dimensions, and run the macro again.

MediaWiki is an extremely powerful, scalable software and a feature-rich wiki implementation that uses PHP to process and display data stored in a database, such as MySQL. Pages use MediaWiki’s wikitext format, so that users without knowledge of XHTML or CSS can edit them easily. When a user submits an edit to a page, MediaWiki writes it to the database, but without deleting the previous versions of the page, thus allowing easy reverts in case of vandalism or spamming. MediaWiki can manage image and multimedia files, too, which are stored in the filesystem. For large wikis with lots of users, MediaWiki supports caching and can be easily coupled with Squid proxy server software.

Starting from plain text, you can run all the tools on it with just two lines of code. Its analyses provide the foundational building blocks for higher-level and domain-specific text understanding applications.
