Many tools focus on visualization of existinting network connections or on statistical analyses. Most run as desktop applications.

In comparison, the NetworkCurator runs on the web and thus enables collaborative exploration and annotation. It also couples a content management system to each graph node and link, creating opportunities for communities to discuss and to curate these individual components.
