28 | 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. | Imaging, Analysing | Texas A&M/Bryan Tarpley | http://dh-emopweb.tamu.edu/Franken+/ | https://github.com/idhmc-tamu/FrankenPlus | Good, webpage has full explanation | Apache 2.0 | December 2013 | 11/1/2014 | Collection Management | |||||||

101 | Spotlight | Spotlight is a plugin for Blacklight, that enables libraries and other cultural heritage institutions to build online exhibits from content in their repositories to better highlight their digital collections. It extends Blacklight by providing a self-service, forms-based user interface that allows exhibit-builders, such as librarians or faculty, to customize the search interface and homepage, and to build media-rich feature pages to better contextualize their collections. | Editing, Web-Developing | Chris Beer | https://github.com/sul-dlss/spotlight | https://github.com/sul-dlss/spotlight | Apache 2.0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A7vTbbiF4g&feature=youtu.be | 6/30/2014 | Contextualisation | Exhibition Management | Collection Management | ||||||
102 | Nodel | Nodel is an open source digital media control system built on Java and Python. It uses a series of nodes that perform "actions" or respond to "signals" to control various devices on a network, allowing quick and easy management of digital media devices. Nodel is typically used to control digital media in galleries, museums, corporate meeting rooms and digital signage. In short, Nodel can manage any programmable device across a wide range of platforms. | Managing | Museum Victoria | http://nodel.io/ | https://github.com/museumvictoria/nodel | Mozilla Public License 2.0/MIT License | https://raw.githubusercontent.com/museumvictoria/nodel/gh-pages/docs/White_Paper-Nodel.pdf | 5/20/2014 | Collection Management | Exhibition Management |
