With Aleph, organizations can put all kinds of data - from a procurement dataset to a leaked trove of emails - into a single place. This documentation helps people who want to upload, share, and manage data on Aleph.
Part of the Aleph toolkit is Aleph Data Desktop, a tool to sketch out networks of companies, people and their relationships on your own computer.
