Post-doc en informatique. Governance analytics. Technologie du web sémantique pour présenter les textes juridiques français. / Bruno Chavez sur Governance Analytics. Immergé à Dauphine, mettre en commun en informatique, traitement des statistiques et économétrie pour appuyer des recherches originales pour PSL. Projet porté deux prof à Dauphine. / Julien Pro post-doc d'économie en histoire analytique / Fiio / Timoty économiste / Ledezma prof à Dijon économiste du commerce / Guillaume Plique.# DatascapePaul told us that he solved the bug linked to multiple-criteria request in the « Term Network». It has not been put in production yet.# Guillaume PliqueGuillaume will be able to work with us between two and three months starting mid-January.He will probably work part-time, meaning he will be with us till at least mid-May and maybe till mid-July.# WEHC 2018The session including hands-on utilisation of the datascape has been rejected. Maybe we will organise a one without the hands-on session, but including Alain Bresson and David Schloen.We were encouraged to re-submit the other session. We have to re-write the introductionRe-rédiger l'autre. Réécrire le blurp. Et qui mettre dedans exactement.## Governance analyticsWe have a long discussion about possible collaboration between the Governance Analytics team and TOFLIT18.Toflit18 has a pressing need for design and development capacities. We have the skill for the data analysis.It has been very interesting to learn about all the things that are done by Governance Analytics. It is a bit more difficult to see the possible complementarities.We discuss the ontology of goods following Nada Mimouni’s work. That would be especially useful if we were to work on a multilingual database.We also discuss temporal graphs with Sid Ahmed Benabderrahmane. This is interesting for some other projects of the Medialab.Julien Brault is also working on 18th century economic history, as he is looking at the activities of the Conseil du Commerce. The thematic link with Toflit18 is easy to make.The call for project will take place every six months.## Future fundingsThe only thing we really need future funding for is hosting and archiving.An ERC funding seems out of reach. Maybe an «infrastructure» project (European Research Infrastructures ?http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/wp/2016_2017/main/h2020-wp1617-infrastructures_en.pdf) ? Or a cooperative ANR project ?## 2017 ConferenceWe will have the final two-day conference of the project next Fall (October ? November ?). Our plan is to organise a scientific committee and an open call with the theme «International trade and the economy, 1600-1870».It will be followed by a half day closed workshop to discuss further developments.The conference will be focused on1. The use of international trade statistics to study economies for which few primary economic series are available.2. The study of early international trade mechanismsWe look forward to have interpretative papers using Toflit18 data presented by the team. As the database is now in a very advanced stage (but not complete), we will endeavour to help those who have an idea for a paper and want to explore its feasibility by organising a workshop in late winter or early spring to discuss their ideas and provide guidance in the use of the database.Ivan, Guillaume and Loïc discuss what they can do at this occasion.This is your last occasion to benefit from the collective means (and minds) of the project. We sincerely hope that you will welcome this research opportunity.
