Web content indexation and automatized deployment on OpenStack
Hyphe is a web crawler designed for social scientists, and developped by Sciences-Po médialab.
We added the following features:

Exploring a CMDB through ego-centered networks
One of the largest French industrial group indexed their whole CMDB in a Neo4j database. They contacted us to develop an interface to explore this dataset.
The web application is composed of a search engine and a unique page for each node, displaying its neighborhood and metadata. To make the search engine efficient (errors tolerance, searching on multiple fields), we indexed the corpus in an ElasticSearch base.
The frontend is developed with Angular, and the API runs on Node - the whole with TypeScript.

Explore a 19th-20th centuries French law educational works collection
The HOPPE-Droit projects aims to create and publish a collection of French law educational works from the 19th-20th centuries. We designed and developed an exploration tool which help studying the evolutions of the French law through education materials from the 19th century.
The dataset is edited by the CUJAS team in a Heurist database. These data are exported through API to be indexed into ElasticSearch. We made sure to keep data complexity by for instance taking care of dates incertainty and levels of precision. A web application finally allows to explore the dataset under different angles: books, authors, editors, co-publication networks, genealogies...

Visual analysis and semantic extraction of themes of a tweets data-set
We were contacted to semantically analyse a corpus of french tweets. We set up a topic extraction pipe, through terms co-occurrences analysis and CHI² token filtering. We also shared some online tool to explore topic communities, in terms co-occurrences network maps.
David Dufresne and the Mediapart french journal wanted to publish the corpus. We helped set up ElasticSearch and Kibana to forge one query per curated topic, and to get aggregated indicators for the final user interface designed and developed by WeDoData, Etamin Studio and Philippe Rivière / Visions carto.

Data infrastructure specifications of an interactive exhibition
We designed the data infrastructure for an exhibition which observes its visitors: data flows specifications from data capture to video-walls projecting visualisations, going through analysis, archiving and graphic rendering processes.
The exhibition was canceled due to COVID-19 epidemic. We haven't realized those plans yet.

Custom Kibana plug-ins development
An industrial actor contacted us to help them distribute dashboards within one of their product. After a brief benchmarking, Kibana felt the best solution, despite missing some key features.
We developed a custom plugin with these features (integrating the dashboards inside a custom web page, with custom styles).

Toflit18 is an online exploratory analysis tool on 18th century french trade by products. We updated this tool created by Sciences Po médialab by optimizing the Neo4j queries and by adding permalinks and a data table which lists and filters trade flows.
A Open Source and Open Data project
RICardo is a research project about international trades in the 19-20th centuries.
We improved the existing web application:

We helped developing the payment process of one of the biggest French e-commerce websites, using Clojure and ClojureScript.
A Consulting and support project
We work on behalf of Neo4j to assist their customers on their graphs projects. We do Neo4j consulting, from data modeling, loading and visualization, to prototypes and full web projects based on modern web technologies.

Bibliograph is an online tool which we created with and for Tommaso Venturini to equip his research on scientific communities dynamics. Our mission was to reproduce an analysis method based on co-references already implemented in python in a web tool allowing to visually explore the networks produced. A very high time constraint guides us to chose to develop this project under the form of a colocalized intensive workshop with the client. By navigating between ideas and constraints with the help of an agile method, we succeeded in producing simple yet efficient scientometric tool complying the scientific needs in a very short time.
A Data valorization project
We join Graph Commons team to help out the development of the new version of their platform for mapping, analyzing, and sharing data-networks.. We work on refactoring the current client side code into React and update the Ruby-Neo4j stack. Our final goal is to add new features using the Graphology libraries allong with the integration of a new design currently under development.

We developped a web application which allows a research team to analyse an ethnographic data-set by navigating and qualifying the collected materials. The data-set was collected during the COVID-19 lockdown that took place between April and June, 2020 in Denmark. It includes 222 interviews, 84 online diaries, and 89 field observations.
This study was part of the project "The Grammar of Participation: The Digitization of Everyday Life During the Corona Crisis" which was carried out in collaboration between researchers from the Centre for Digital Welfare at the IT University of Copenhagen and the Techno-Anthropology Lab at University of Aalborg.
This tools is not publicly available. Access to the data is restricted to the research team. The screenshots below were made on fake data.
A Data valorization project
From 2013 a research team from Direction des ressources et de l’information scientifique (DRIS) and Centre de recherches politiques (CEVIPOF) manage the Sciences Po electoral archive (Archelec). They created and published a stunning collection of professions of faith of french legislative elections from 1958 (Vth Republique).
They chose to publish this collection on Internet Archive but came to us to build a custom exploration tool. Indeed they built a very rich set of metadata which describe the candidates profils in details for the entire collection (more than thurty thousands documents). We created a faceted search engine alowing to filter the collection by election, electoral division, political group, candidates profils...
The resulting documents can then be explored either through a list, data visualisations or downloaded in CSV. The original documents are available thanks to Internet Archive embeded player. Thus indexation choices made by the documentalists can be compared to the source.
