Essays on mineralogical geography around Paris, with a geognostical map and ground cuts, by Georges Cuvier and Alexandre Brongniart (1811)

1.1. Context: the VHB platform • VHB Plateform goals :
– to help the constitution of industrial projects for contents and services,
– through full-scale experimentations and the evaluation of those practices;
• Scientific ressources and expertises :
– a plan to closely support experimental projects developed by companies;
– a close watch on the evolution of uses and the evaluation of practices;
– an observatory on digital services, contents and practices, both present and prospective, on technological, socioeconomic and sociocultural aspects.

1. 2. ObjectivesMain objective:
To design a tool to represent hypothesis about historical evolution of cultural technologies system
Challenges:
• Adopt a multidisciplinary approach
• Extend the analysis to individual and collective social practices (different systems)
• Macroscopic analysis and view with different kind of object Basalla, George ,The Evolution of Technology, Cambridge University Press,
Cambridge,1988)

2. Methodology• Key steps:
example :
– Identify « technical fact » (commutation)
– Underline « technical tendencies » (decentralisation)
– Identify edge between « technical systems » (telecom/audiovisuel)
• Key objects :
– technical fact (technic related events)– technical tendancies (hypothesis relative to technic
dynamics)– technical system (system of technical fact )– caricature (draw line force of tendancies )

3. Model description
• Graph node > fact > « Technical fact » edge > relation > « Technical tendencies »
• Matrix
X axis > Time > TimeY axis > Object type > Osi system + socialZ axis > Group > Technical system

4. Implementation
The Demo Slide !So we create a tool to define a dataset
and in the same time represent it.

1. Select a ref
2. Add it
3. Edit it
4. View it
5. Link it
6. Study the relations
visualize it

5. View: mainlines
• Matching to our data :– axe x : Time– axe y : Virtualisation /
transindividuation– axe z: Technical systems
• Respresentation means:– axe x / y : graph in a chart– axe z : layerization – 3d projection : orthogonal
for a better view !

5. View : visualization types Combining two representations :
- chart (classical, matrix ) - network diagram
Using :
- layerization concept- orthogonal projection to compare layer ;-)
To gain benefits :
- 3 view modes to compare data - one unique interface to present data and to edit graph

6.1. Usage perspective
• Think about edge qualification (parent, tendances ...)
• Implement it on a social plateform for history edge analysis
• Emphasize evolution charasteristics
• Study innovations ecosystem properties

6.2. Visualization perspective
• Tools to analyse time-based multidimensional system
• Use layerization concept for a time slice extension of classical 2D chart (next step)
• Manage convergences / divergences of layer (next step)
