Summary: The goal of the ISSA project is to develop methods and tools for the automatic indexation of scientific publications including keywords and geographic using a Semantic Web standard. The sematic dataset created by the automatic indexation of publications will be used to support innovative searching and exploratory services using information visualization techniques. For the purposes of this project, the Open Reposiroty of CIRAD publications Agritrop (http://agritrop.cirad.fr/) will be used as case study.

(2020 - present) CROBORA: Crossing Borders Archives: understanding the circulation of images of Europe.
Summary: CROBORA is a project led by the Sic.Lab laboratory at EUR CREATES, University of Côte d'Azur, funded by ANR from 2021 to 2024. The project also benefited from the Incititative Scientific Credits of the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis (2020) and was designed within the framework of the UDPN network. CROBORA studies the circulation of archive images in the media space. The main hypothesis of the project is that what determines the circulation of archives - thus constituting the visual memory of the European construction - is not a decision that lies solely in the hands of the authors of the reuses (journalists, audiovisual professionals) but rather the consequence of a series of mediations that can be technical (the availability of archives for example), interprofessional (the relationship between archival institutions and the media), cultural (the use of a document for a purpose in one country or another), historical (an archive sequence can change its meaning over time) etc. The general objective of the project is therefore to understand the logics governing the circulation of audiovisual archives. The project aims to respond to the following sub-objectives: 1. to understand which audiovisual fragments are reused in the media to talk about Europe; 2. to build a cartography of frequently used symbolic images; 3. to analyze the representations carried by these images; 4. to understand their trajectory in order to see how they are reshaped diachronically and according to different media, countries and institutions; and finally 5. to identify which mediations determine their readjustments.

Summary: Scientists from all domains are harnessing their multidisciplinary expertise and resources to fight Covid-19 pandemic. To contribute to this effort, the Wimmics team decided to use the confinement period to launch the Covid-on-the-Web project as sprint to adapt and combine its methods, models and tools (ACTA, Corese, MGExplorer, Morph-xR2RML) to process, analyse and enrich the “Covid-19 Open Research Dataset” (CORD-19) that gathers 50,000+ full-text scientific articles related to the coronaviruses.
Partners: Université Côte d'Azur, CNRS, I3S.
Coordinators: Fabien Gandon.
Funding: INRIA Sophia Antipolis Méditerranée
Duration: from February 2020 to December 2021.
