Abstract

We will present the digital methodological chain and the tools we developed for building the Digital Diasporas Atlas which aims at mapping and analyzing the occupation of the web by diasporas. Such a chain is composed of four intertwined steps: 1) equipped web exploration and corpus building; 2) data enrichment (location, languages, text-mining); 3) network visualization-manipulation and graph interpretation; 4) collaborative sharing of (raw) data and findings. The Digital Diasporas Atlas takes part in the project of introducing digital methods in humanities: promoting digitally equipped social sciences and developing an engineering informed by humanities.
