This list is about the basic need of many researchers to organise, manage, publish and eventually archive information collected in the course of their research. Simple tools dealing with one type of information are rarely adequate because of the rich connections within Humanities data.

A number of open-source, web-based tools now available allow you to model, collect, manage and publish data characterised by heterogeneous entities which are linked together through relationships. These can include documents, images, events, people, places, organisations, structures, portable objects, and many other entities which form rich networks of relationships. 

While any sort of complex data modelling and data management/publishing can be achieved - laboriously and at huge expense - by programming in conventional relational (and other) database tools, newer web-based approaches can provide nearly ready-made open-source solutions to a wide range of basic research data management needs. However many researchers are unaware of what is available. This list aims to highlight suitable tools for consideration.
