Le web 3.0 au service de la recherche scientifique Le web recèle des trésors parfois trop bien cachés. Philippe Cudré-Mauroux, professeur au Département d’informatique de l’Université de Fribourg, a mis au point un système de classification, basé sur le web sémantique, qui rend les recherches plus fiables, précises et exhaustives. Le projet, intitulé ScienceWISE, a reçu le prix de la meilleure démo et de l’outrageous idea à la 10e International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) de Bonn. Le Prof. Les systèmes par mots-clés utilisés par les portails de recherche classiques montrent leurs limites. «L’impulsion de ce projet est venue d’Alexey Boyarksy et de Oleg Ruchayskiy, tous deux physiciens, respectivement à l’EPFL et au CERN. Organiser le web scientifique Le web sémantique se compose de données structurées qui peuvent être automatiquement traitées par des machines. Le projet est réalisé en collaboration avec le laboratoire de systèmes d’information répartis du Prof.
The Best Tools for Visualization Visualization is a technique to graphically represent sets of data. When data is large or abstract, visualization can help make the data easier to read or understand. There are visualization tools for search, music, networks, online communities, and almost anything else you can think of. Whether you want a desktop application or a web-based tool, there are many specific tools are available on the web that let you visualize all kinds of data. Here are some of the best: Visualize Social Networks Last.Forward: Thanks to Last.fm's new widget gallery, you can now explore a wide selection of extras to extend your Last.fm experience.

Nightingale’s Rose January 9, 2008, 4:06 pm By Henry Woodbury Two ways of reading the word area — its general vs. its mathematical meaning — leads to confusion in this otherwise superb article on Charts in the Economist. The chart in question is Florence Nightingale’s “Diagram of the Causes of Mortality in the Army of the East.” The data is plotted by month in 30-degree wedges. In each month, red represents deaths by injury, blue death by disease, and black death by other causes: The Economist explains how to interpret the diagram: As with today’s pie charts, the area of each wedge is proportional to the figure it stands for, but it is the radius of each slice (the distance from the common centre to the outer edge) rather than the angle that is altered to achieve this. Herein lies the confusion. Our Creative Director, Piotr Kaczmarek, recalibrated Nightingale’s chart to correct this error. This is better: a stacked bar chart that introduces a scale (!) Comments Thanks for the clarification. yeaaa Post a Comment
Guide à l’élaboration d’un plan d’urgence pour les blogueurs menacés En 2011, nous avons été témoins du pouvoir incroyable des blogueurs et des utilisateurs des médias sociaux, qui ont capturé l'attention du monde par leur cyberactivisme. Dans le même temps, les gouvernements donnent l'impression d'avoir accentué leur “jeu” du chat et de la souris avec les net-citoyens, en portant atteinte à la liberté d'expression de l'opinion par une politique de surveillance, de censure accompagnée de la persécution et de la détention de blogueurs. On a rapporté que le régime syrien, de plus en plus au fait de la dimension technologique, réclamait des détenus qu'ils révèlent leurs identifiants de connexion, par exemple, et la torture est pratiquée dans certaines prisons du Moyen Orient. Conscients des menaces auxquelles ils sont exposés, les blogueurs conçoivent des plans d'urgence dans l'hypothèse de leur détention. L'évaluation des risques individuels est une tâche qui n'est ni facile ni simple. Tous les blogueurs devraient : Si vous êtes arrêté ou détenu :
Subversive Cartographies What are subversive cartographies? This issue is addressed a series of presentations organized by Chris Perkins (University of Manchester) and Jörn Seemann (Louisiana State University) for the upcoming 2008 Association of American Geographers meeting (Boston, April 15-19 2008). “To be subversive, is to wish to overthrow, destroy or undermine the principles of established orders. As such subversive cartographies offer alternative representations to established social and political norms. Maps are no longer cast as mirrors of reality, instead they are increasingly conceived as diverse ways of thinking, perceiving and representing space and place which express values, world-views and emotions.

Crise de la dette : et si on nous prenait pour des c… Oui, vous l’entendez partout, tous nos malheurs viennent désormais de cette fameuse dette qui oblige nos gouvernements à encore plus de rigueur, c’est à dire à nous demander de nous serrer la ceinture. S’il n’y avait pas autant de dette, tout irait mieux, nous ne serions pas à l’aube d’une apocalypse économique. Ces fameuses dettes des pays industrialisés les plus riches, on vous l’a assez répété, sont en permanente augmentation : nous vivons au dessus de nos moyens. Ah ! Oui, mais il y a des chiffres qui ne trompent pas, et qui peuvent nous intéresser… Par exemple, saviez-vous qu’entre 1993 et 2010, le taux d’imposition moyen des entreprises, calculé sur 80 pays, était passé de 38% à 25% ? Ah, oui, ça fait bizarre…parce qu’il faut rappeler que l’impôt sur les sociétés ce n’est pas comme l’impôt sur le revenu, avec l’impôt sur les sociétés, on ne taxe que les bénéfices. Une dette publique, c’est quoi ? On y comprend pas grand chose, ce que le rapport souligne plus loin :
Data visualisation DIY: our top tools | News What data visualisation tools are out there on the web that are easy to use - and free? Here on the Datablog and Datastore we try to do as much as possible using the internet's powerful free options. That may sound a little disingenuous, in that we obviously have access to the Guardian's amazing Graphics and interactive teams for those pieces where we have a little more time - such as this map of public spending (created using Adobe Illustrator) or this Twitter riots interactive. But for our day-to-day work, we often use tools that anyone can - and create graphics that anyone else can too. So, what do we use? Google fusion tables This online database and mapping tool has become our default for producing quick and detailed maps, especially those where you need to zoom in. The main advantage is the flexibility - you can can upload a kml file of regional borders, say - and then merge that with a data table. This excellent tutorial by Google's Kathryn Hurley is a great place to start. Datamarket
Livehoods – Use-based urban analytics In conceptualizing and exploring the city we rely a range of smaller areas—neighbourhoods, boroughs, wards and districts—in order to make urban space intelligible. While we can readily discuss how neighbourhoods are shaped by physical geography (topography, adjacency to lakes or rivers, etc.), ordinance (zoning, access to public transit) and economics (real estate prices, average resident income), machine learning does not really spring to mind when we are considering how we might define ‘a neighbourhood’. Livehoods is a new project hatched within the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University that leverages 18 million Foursquare check-ins to draft up new urban ‘activity zones’ based on the patterns of frequent visitors. The venture essentially asks how does a location-based service reflect our sense of place within the city? Livehoods.org | School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University
