If you wish to register yourself as a Technology player in ESSENCE, please add a profile page for your tool to the Sensemaking Tools page — and then link to it from this contents list. Please do not use this site to advertise your tools, if you are not in a position to offer a robust hosted service or download, and some degree of support for ESSENCE participants. We are seeking tools that are at a reasonably mature stage of development, fit for beta testing by subject-matter experts, but who are not necessarily tech geeks ;-)
