Graph-RAT is a database abstraction layer designed to make it easy to use a large library of graph-analysis routines on a database as well as add new kinds of algorithms to data mining.

OUT OF DATE: See the Singularity project here at sourceforge. This project aims to make the expanse of human knowledge beautifully presentable and the exabytes of data navigable by an average user via the power of a Unified Data Model and 3d visualization layer for the Web. It will invert the top 3 layers of the OSI network model to make a 3-dimensional presentation layer with a peer-to-peer session layer for the Internet. For the curious, there is a simple demo that provides a small sense of the possibilities. ...

The primary driver of speciation may result from hybridization instead of the accumulation of mutations. The accumulation of mutations may instead be responsible for a "maturation" which may have real physical meaning rather than being an amorphous concept. Scientists such as Donald Williamson and Lynn Margulis have suggested similar ideas but perhaps not going as far as this project assumes. This software converted the Catalogue of Life, catalogueoflife.org, into a gedcom format. It...

Controversial ideas of Williamson, Margulis & others suggest speciation by hybridizing might be more common than originally thought. Taking this concept to the nth degree & assuming that indeed, speciation mostly occurs by hybridizing events, not the accumulation of mutations or genetic drift, here is a catalogueoflife2gedcom converter. It allows the tree of life to be displayed as a human genealogy tree with hybridizing events depicted as "marriages." The idea then is that mutation...

Spatial Knowledge Base is a web based application for storing and searching of archaeological sites information. The software was written to improve access to cultural heritage information though the use of digital archiving, search technology, and GIS.
