CatMapper (catmapper.org) organizes dynamic and complex category systems commonly used by scientists and policymakers, including ethnicities, languages, religions, political districts, and technologies. Each of these systems includes thousands of categories encoded in diverse, dynamic and incompatible ways across a growing corpus of thousands of datasets. It currently supports two apps: (1) SocioMap aimed at sociopolitical categories and (2) ArchaMap aimed at categories in archaeological research.
