C-Map Committee Participants Map https://github.com/assafsinvani/gknesset/ ATI MNC WeekathonProject
C-Map Team • EttiShalev, Alcatel-Lucent • Assaf Sinvani, Alcatel-Lucent • InbarShani, HP • Shahar Frank, EMC
The Motivation • A democratic principle is that many groups would be able to take part in the processes that govern society (“Pluralism”) • To make these processes “fair” and transparent the participants should be visible
How will C-Map help? • After advising with several people, we chose to focus on the Knesset’s Committees • Where the “real work” is really done • Relatively open and visible • C-Map maps the Knesset Committees’ participantsand their relationships, helping to identify the interests and interested parties affecting that committee
Target Users • Journalists (“watchdogs of democracy”) • Politicians • Social organizations • Lobbyists • Organizations that watch and monitor Knesset’s processes • The general public
Technology • Python scripts that fetch and analyze Knesset protocols • Neo4j (graph DB) server installed on Alcatel-Lucent’s CloudBand Cloud • Fat client written in javascript (d3.js, jquery) to layout the graph and manage the queries • Github: https://github.com/assafsinvani/gknesset/
Future • Improved UI and features • Organizations object support • Analyze all protocols (current focus 2012-2013) • Better classification of objects • Social engine to allow: • Subject tags • Editable nodes on people and organizations • Fixing and improve raw data
