Sieve

Sieve is a Java-based collaborative interactive modular visualization environment (CIMVE). Like other modular visualization environments, it provides an extensible set of modules representing sources of data, data manipulation processes, and image generation tools. These modules can then be linked to specify the flow of data to create a ``program'' for producing a visualization.
