DocumentCloud – Index of Primary Source Documemts and Tools for Annotating, Organizing, and Publishing On the Web
http://www.documentcloud.org/

DocumentCloud is an index of primary source documents and a tool for annotating, organizing and publishing them on the web. Documents are contributed by journalists, researchers and archivists. If your organization does document-driven investigations, they would love to have you join them. Using the DocumentCloud workspace, you can upload documents, share them with your team, and conduct structured searches and analyses based on extracted entities — the people, places, and organizations mentioned in the text. As a contributor, you can download a lightweight document viewer to embed documents on your web site. Take a look at how news organizations are beginning to use DocumentCloud to complement their reporting or review our help pages to get a sense of how DocumentCloud works. At the moment, they are in the middle of their initial beta release. As they develop DocumentCloud, they are packaging up the components that support it, and releasing them as open-source projects. Their releases so far include the majority of their document processing code. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
