11 Arabesque interoperability
One of the new features of Arabesque2 is its interoperability with dedicated network processing applications, which use its filtering and geovisualisation functionalities.
11.1 CorText manager
Cortext Manager is a publicly available web application providing data analysis methods curated and developed by a team of researchers and engineers. Upload a textual corpus in order to analyse its discourse, names, categories, citations, places, dates etc, with methods for science/controversy/issue mapping, distant reading, document clustering, geo-spatial and network visualizations, and more.
11.1.1 What is it ?
Cortext Manager is the main attraction of Cortext Plateform and our goal is to empower researchers by promoting advanced qualitative-quantitative mixed methods. Our primary focus is on studies about the dynamics of science, technology and innovation, and about the roles of knowledge and expertise in societies. We understand the move towards digital humanities and computational methods not as addressing a technological gap for the social sciences, but rather as entailing entirely new assemblages between its disciplines and those of modern statistics and computer sciences. And we work to tackle ever more complex research problems and deal with the profusion of new and diverse sources of information without losing sight of the situatedness and reflexivity required of studies of human societies.
11.1.2 How to play with Arabesque ?
You can jump straight to Cortext Manager and create an account, but we suggest taking a look at the Documentation and Tutorials as you start your journey.
At the end of your work in Cortext manager, you have reached the next stage.
To geovisualise and explore your spatial networks with Arabesque, you can :
- either copy the interoperability link entitled “urban and rural areas arabesque” into your browser, which will put you in the Arabesque geovisualisation environment
- or, as with any spatial network, import the two node and link files on the Arabesque home page [see Data importation].
11.1.3 Credits
Cortext is hosted by the LISIS research unit at Université Gustave Eiffel, and was launched by French institutes IFRIS and INRAE, receiving their continued support.
