Constellate is a text analytics platform offered by ITHAKA, a nonprofit organization devoted to providing platforms for educational and research purposes. It uses data sources such as JSTOR, Portico, Chronicling America, DocSouth, South Asian Open Archive, and Reveal Digital. It is a great tool for users of these data sources who would like to engage in data analytics projects without any exposure to programming languages. Because Constellate was designed primarily for pedagogical purposes, ITHAKA offers a growing number of training workshops and documentations in text analysis methods, Python programming, and data visualization. The integrated design of document search, dataset builder, and visualization reduces the learning curve for beginners.
