Data Pointed Periodic Table of Storytelling by *ComputerSherpa on deviantART FlowingData | Data Visualization, Infographics, and Statistics [Carte] Les collaborations scientifiques dans le monde Pour savoir comment se font les collaborations entre scientifiques à travers le monde, Olivier H. Beauchesne a réalisé une carte à partir de données bibliographiques accessibles à tous. Il nous explique comment. Article publié sur OWNISciences sous le titre, Carte des collaborations scientifiques à travers le monde J’ai été très impressionné par la “friendship map” réalisée par Paul Butler, stagiaire chez Facebook, et j’ai réalisé que j’avais accès à un jeu de données similaire. Mon employeur, Science-Metrix, est une entreprise d’évaluation biblométrique. Grâce à ces données, j’ai pu extraire et agréger les différentes collaborations scientifiques entre villes à travers le monde. Les étapes suivantes sont les mêmes que celles de la “friendship map” de Facebook. Une carte très haute résolution et zoomable est disponible à cette adresse : Article initialement publié sur “Stuff I Made“. Traduction par Pierre Ropert. Merci à Olivier Laffargue
Datavisualization.ch La veille comme art de vivre du futur Ce qui est aujourd'hui un comportement d'ultra-connectés sera demain la norme si l'on souhaite avoir une vie sociale normale. Voici un article qui a été publié dans l’excellent ebook : Regards croisés sur la veille (sur le blog du modérateur), qui fait intervenir plein de spécialistes pros du digital (et moi-même). Un article prospectif qui m’a donné l’occasion de poser toutes les idées concernant l’évolution de la veille digitale. Vous excuserez la longueur, cet article est fait pour être lu sur papier ou tablette.« Touff de la tribu des Görzg grimpa sur une colline. Trois jours que sa tribu et lui n’avaient rien mangé. Tous les matins, les chasseurs partaient explorer la région avec de grands cris mais revenaient bredouilles chaque soir sous les lamentations des femmes et les pleurs des enfants. Information = survie Et cette leçon primordiale a accompagné l’être humain pendant des millénaires. L’homme veille sans le savoir, une question d’adaptation Veiller quoi ? Image CC Flickr

Ville Vivante TV hackers thrill MIPCube conference, but call for more open data | Technology Syd Lawrence (second-left) gives the TV industry a piece of his mind. Photo: Stuart Dredge How do hackers hack when they have very little to hack with? That was the challenge facing a group of developers at the MIPCube conference this weekend. The idea: they would spend 36 hours coding innovative apps and websites based on TV content, then present the results to a room full of producers and broadcasters. The problem: APIs. For the TV Hack Day in Cannes, the hackers had much less to work with. "The data coming out of broadcasters is shit. "You have companies charging for TV listings. And that wasn't all. Enough negativity though. Aral Balkan's Grab Magic used Kinect and an iPhone to enable people to physically reach out and "grab" screenshots from something showing on TV, and save them on the phone. Lawrence Job's Feedback was also a B2B hack that analyses Flash and JavaScript events in online videos.
