The software requires Java version 6 or newer to run.

If you are interested in contacting us, please drop us a line via the following 3c6120687265663d226d61696c746f3a6e69656c73406d696e6464657369676e2e696e666f223e652d6d61696c3c2f613e. Comments or suggestions for improvement are always welcome.
Input files: TagClouder reads csv files with data. It expects one header line with names of all columns, followed by one line per record. First column should contain the name of the record, and will be used to display in the cloud. Next, there can be multiple columns with categories describing the records. Each record, however, can only have one value for the given category. Download a sample file here: games.csv.
