Pagella looks up scholarly publications in Google Scholar and computes bibliometric indexes (including h and g indexes).
XCheck-Java is a tool for assessing the relative performance of different XQuery/XPath engines by means of benchmarks consisting of a set of XML queries and a set of XML documents.
HLMC stands for Hybrid Logic Model Checker. It is an implementation of model checking algorithms for hybrid logic.

XPathMark is a benchmark for XPath based on data provided by XMark (a popular benchmark for XML data management).
XQueryMark is a benchmark for XQuery based on XMark.
