An extremely flexible, end-user oriented, web-based data management system designed specifically for Humanities.
Open Source collaborative web database software for recording, analysing and publishing richly interlinked research data integrated
with web bookmarking, bibliographic functions, flexible data import, XML and archive output, reporting and XSL transforms, network visualisation, mapping and timelines. It hides the complexity of database design behind a simple web interface and allows researchers to create complex databases rapidly, without using a programming language.
