Researchers often develop new tools for their research, in order to extract useful information from unstructured or semi-structured data. A lot of effort goes into developing new tools and such efforts are often unacknowledged. Instead, the value of the research is usually measured in terms of publications and analysis. In addition, many similar tool development efforts are repeated by multiple researchers within the same domain of science. Towards acknowledging such tool development effort, we built the BD Tools Catalogue, where members of different research communities can contribute and share their tools within BD framework. In the BD Tools Catalogue you get proper credit for your effort in creating the new tool.
