While online spreadsheets like Google Docs make it very easy for anyone to embed tabular data in websites, let's explore some new alternatives that you may find more useful depending on the requirement.

Reminds me of HyperCard and Tinderbox

Taste is a flexible, fast collaborative filtering engine for Java. The engine takes users' preferences for items ("tastes") and returns estimated preferences for other items. For example, a site that sells books or CDs could easily use Taste to figure out, from past purchase data, which CDs a customer might be interested in listening to.

Piggy Bank is a Firefox extension that turns your browser into a mashup platform, by allowing you to extract data from different web sites and mix them together. Piggy Bank also allows you to store this extracted information locally for you to search later and to exchange at need the collected information with others.

GUESS is an exploratory data analysis and visualization tool for graphs and networks. The system contains a domain-specific embedded language called Gython (an extension of Python, or more specifically Jython) which supports the operators and syntactic sugar necessary for working on graph structures in an intuitive manner. An interactive interpreter binds the text that you type in the interpreter to the objects being visualized for more useful integration. GUESS also offers a visualization front end that supports the export of static images and dynamic movies.

PHYLIP is a free package of programs for inferring phylogenies. It is distributed as source code, documentation files, and a number of different types of executables.

The Historical Event Markup and Linking project provides a means of coordinating and navigating disparate historical materials on the internet. It includes 1. an XML schema for historical events which describes the events' participants, dates, location and keywords; the schema associates these with source materials in print or on the web. 2. XSLT stylesheets that combine conforming documents and generate lists, maps and graphical timelines out of them. Heml integrates these resources using the Cocoon2 web publishing engine.

MindCanvas is a online research service to gather insights about your customers' thoughts & feelings. Online surveys require users to complete boring html forms. You can use our Game-like Elicitation Methods (GEMs) to gather user feedback. At the end of the study, you can use our Visual Analysis Engine to order rich visualizations of your data.

Create your own social network, quickly and easily. Elgg allows you to take full advantage of the power of social technology with elegant, flexible solutions for organisations, groups and individuals.

welcome to gnowsis, the Semantic Desktop environment published by the Knowledge Management Lab of the DFKI. Gnowsis is a reference implementation of parts of the Nepomuk Semantic Desktop framework. The Nepomuk project provides a standardized, conceptual framework for Semantic Desktops.Gnowsis can be used in research projects or by interested individuals to benefit from Semantic Web technologies.

Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story, playing an interactive game, or a video to share on the web. Alice is a teaching tool for introductory computing. It uses 3D graphics and a drag-and-drop interface to facilitate a more engaging, less frustrating first programming experience.

GATE is... * the Eclipse of Natural Language Engineering, the Lucene of Information Extraction, a leading toolkit for Text Mining * used worldwide by thousands of scientists, companies, teachers and students * comprised of an architecture, a free open source framework (or SDK) and graphical development environment * used for all sorts of language processing tasks, including Information Extraction in many languages * funded by the EPSRC, BBSRC, AHRC, the EU and commercial users * 100% Java reference implementation of ISO TC37/SC4 and used with XCES in the ANC * 10 years old in 2005, used in many research projects and compatible with IBM's UIMA * based on MVC, mobile code, continuous integration, and test-driven development, with code hosted on SourceForge

Use the idle time on your computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux) to cure diseases, study global warming, discover pulsars, and do many other types of scientific research.

R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T, now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues. R can be considered as a different implementation of S. There are some important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered under R.

Cyberinfrastructure for Phylogenetic Research (CIPRES) project is an open collaboration funded by the National Science Foundation. The group is led by Tandy Warnow and involves researchers (biologists, computer scientists, statisticians, and mathematicians) at sixteen institutions. The goal of the CIPRES project is to enable large-scale phylogenetic reconstructions on a scale that will enable analyses of huge data sets containing hundreds of thousands of bio molecular sequences. To achieve this goal we have brought together a group of researchers involved in phylogeny estimation, statistics, and computer science to create new solutions for the difficult computational problems that arise in inferring evolutionary relationships.

EPrints is the most flexible platform for building high quality, high value repositories, recognised as the easiest and fastest way to set up repositories of research literature, scientific data, student theses, project reports, multimedia artefacts, teaching materials, scholarly collections, digitised records, exhibitions and performances.

World Wind lets you zoom from satellite altitude into any place on Earth. Leveraging Landsat satellite imagery and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data, World Wind lets you experience Earth terrain in visually rich 3D, just as if you were really there.

So far little awareness exists about the commercial opportunities of linked data. Andreas Blumauer (SWC) talked to Chris Bizer, mastermind behind the DB-Pedia project and advocate of the linking open data philosophy, about the emerging market for deep web applications, its value for corporate purposes, and the need for information accountability and privacy awareness.

Argument maps are diagrams that display the structure of an argument. By combining pictures and words, argument maps help people to create better arguments and analyses. iLogos is a freely-available, cross-platform tool that allows you to easily construct and share argument maps.
