Reviewer's View: anacubis Desktop is a
novel and sophisticated tool for analyzing data—and connections between
data and data sources—imported from a wide range of sources and file
types, both textual and quantitative. The price is not trivial, and
developing anacubis expertise will require climbing a substantial
learning curve. But the potential rewards are great for analysts and
companies willing to take the long view.

The data and links are a bit dated, but this is still the best site for journalism and remote sensing, i.e. satellites.

Overview

JUNG — the Java Universal Network/Graph Framework–is a software
library that provides a common and extendible language for the modeling,
analysis, and visualization of data that can be represented as a graph or
network. It is written in Java, which allows JUNG-based applications to
make use of the extensive built-in capabilities of the Java API, as well
as those of other existing third-party Java libraries.

The JUNG architecture is designed to support a variety of
representations of entities and their relations, such as directed and
undirected graphs, multi-modal graphs, graphs with parallel edges, and
hypergraphs. It provides a mechanism for annotating graphs, entities,
and relations with metadata. This facilitates the creation of analytic
tools for complex data sets that can examine the relations between
entities as well as the metadata attached to each entity and relation.
