Online Resources And Data Sets
The scientific community is becoming increasingly aware that open access to research code is an essential ingredient for scientific reproducibility and progress. LindoLab strives to publish all research code in online repositories, and contributes to several open source projects. Python, Bash, Matlab, and GMT are the weapons of choice.
The projects listed at the link above are reasonably well organized, well documented code suitable for general use. More code associated with specific papers and research projects is available at David Lindo's github profile.
SNAC is also a database for entities using EAC-CPF. It has been called the "Facebook for dead people" because of the relational networks. The current beta prototype includes hundreds of thousands of records, mostly derived from catalog and finding aid (archives) descriptions. Because there is no automated way to pull records, this site may not be helpful in particular challenges, but we are planning to contribute many of our records to their database. Below is a rough visualization of their Whitney South Sea Expedition identity constellation.
Also referred to as "KE EMu" from the prior company name "Knowledge Engineering". This is the software the museum uses to manage collections.

AMNH is a participating member of the BHL consortium of natural history and botanical libraries. We contribute digitized publications and field work to be accessed openly in a global "biodiversity commons." There is some overlap between DSpace and BHL. Like DSpace, this is useful for searching content within a resource and pulling graphic elements or images for the results page.

https://bitbucket.org/petermr/imageanalysis: Basic routines for processing scientific and similar diagrams. Primarily works on clear primitives shapes (lines, symbols, curves, polygons, clear text).
-
https://bitbucket.org/petermr/diagramanalyzer: Takes a set of graphics primitives from ImageAnalysis (mixture of paths and pixels) originating from diagrams and turns them into an approximation of the original diagram.
