"We": a Proposal for the TRIPLE platform

This research report is a proposal to define a platform, called We, for the TRIPLE project. First, the We platform is situated in the ecosystem of academic tools. Then its functionalities are described. This document proposes a conceptual representation of an innovative platform based on the discovery of experts, topics and projects using the analysis, classification, linking and enrichment of data. It is not a proposal of a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) which is under the responsibility of WP3 and WP5 as well as the editorialization of the components, but there are ideas and may constitute some areas of work to be discussed. Also, the different diagrams aim at illustrating the functionalities and not the design of the screens. These suggestions include elements of the proposal (experts), new public (Python library) and technological advances (Deep Learning) which were not so advanced when the proposal has been elaborated.
