There are a number of mathematical projects, sites, or programs ("projects" for short) which are similar to (at least one aspect of) the OEIS. This page is an attempt to describe and list some of these projects.

Properties
Billey & Tenner's[1] Fingerprint databases for theorems is a key resource. They suggest that the purpose of projects is to encode theorems with a fingerprint satisfying these conditions:
- Should be language independent.
- Should reference existing literature.
- Should be collaborative and publicly available.
- Should be encoded in a small amount of data.
List of projects: integer sequences
On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences
This is Billey & Tenner's prime example of a fingerprint database for theorems, listed here only for completeness.
Sequencer
A project by Philipp Emanuel Weidmann.
- sequencer on github, last updated Mar 7, 2015
- SequenceBoss - broken link, once an online implementation of Sequencer
Integer Sequences
Tony D. Noe's collection of about a thousand integer sequences, started in 2014. Includes formulas, graphs, Mathematica programs, and references (but unfortunately no search features). Text is apparently freeform; metadata consists of OEIS-inspired keywords: base, cons, fini, full, hard, more, nice, nonn, sign, tabf, tabl. Entries are crosslinked with other entries and also with OEIS entries.
Sequence Machine
An automated sequence database by Jon Maiga. It describes itself as "A database with 1659045 machine generated integer and decimal sequences." (as of 2022) Contains sequence tags (like expanded keywords), function tags, OEIS references, and attempts at combining identical sequences with different definitions.
List of projects: combinatorics
Database of Permutation Pattern Avoidance
A database of permutations which avoid a finite number of permutation patterns. Permutations can be searched by a subset of the avoided patterns and/or by keyword. Contains 54 entries as of Oct 2018. Data for each entry includes the avoided pattern(s), a title, references, the enumeration (a name, formula, or generating function), an OEIS reference for the enumeration, and the contributor.
The Combinatorial Statistic Finder
Finds combinatorial statistics. Different types of search are available based on the type of statistic searched for (out of these 17):
- Alternating sign matrices; binary trees; cores; Dyck paths; finite Cartan types; Gelfand-Tsetlin patterns; graphs; integer compositions; integer partitions; ordered trees; parking functions; perfect matchings; permutations; posets; semistandard tableaux; set partitions; standard tableaux
As of Oct 2018 there were 1278 statistics in the database. Data for each statistic includes values, description, code, references, and author.

List of projects: algebra
Groupprops
Vipul Naik's brainchild, a wiki with 7000+ pages collecting information on the properties of various groups, especially finite groups. The project dates back to 2006 (2008 in its present form). Data includes presence or absence of common group properties, membership in various families, morphisms, and conjugacy class structure. GAP code is often included. Text searches are the primary way to find pages, though there is a query creator which allows searching by category as well.

- Subject wikis (a collection of other wikis on other subjects, much smaller than groupprops)

A Database for Number Fields
A collection of transitive groups by degree, created by Jürgen Klüners and Gunter Malle in 2001. It contains (as of 2022) all A002106(n) groups for n = 2-23 for a total of 4952 groups; note that the next term, A002106(24) = 25000, is significantly larger than the total. (When released, it contained degrees up to 15.)

The L-functions and modular forms database (LMFDB) collects number-theoretical objects such as L-functions, L-function zeros, elliptic curves, Maass forms, and number fields.

Further, graphs can be drawn or uploaded (using any of their 6 supported formats).

Delay-insensitive systems operate correctly regardless of delays in components and connections. For each entry, information may include

- Implementations, DI decompositions, and gate and/or transistor designs where relevant

It appears to contain several dozen entries and has a last-modified date of 1998.
