Slides of the presentation

The first version of the Territorial Intelligence portal was born on March, the 1st 2006 that was the caENTI starting date. A new version, more “Territorial Intelligence centered” was presented during the international conference of territorial intelligence in Huelva (Spain) in October 2007. At the end of the caENTI project, the territorial intelligence portal is ready and constitutes a solid base for the network of territorial intelligence in order tu pursue its activities.

1500 articles were published during the three years, if we consider all the sections as a whole.

The territorial intelligence portal is available in three languages:

Organised on the basis of seven headlines, the portal wants to be the reference and reflexion on the territorial intelligence concept.
We will especially focus our attention on three headlines.

Scientifics events

This section presents the international conferences of territorial intelligence and the seminars close to the field of territorial intelligence.

Devoted blogs allowed following the fifth and the sixth international conference of territorial intelligence in live (Huelva 2007 : www.intelligence-territoriale.eu/huelva2007/blog/ and Besançon 2008 www.intelligence-territoriale.eu/besancon2008/blog/)
It is possible to have access to the photos, the workshops reports and the three invited conferences in video as well as to the speakers presentations (slide shows). During the conference, all the plenary sessions were broadcasted in video in live on the blog.

 

Publications

All caENTI deliverables (61) are available on the territorial intelligence portal at the following url: www.territorial-intelligence.eu/caenti/deliverables/

All three international confererences proceesind are available online:

The complete bibliography of the caENTI (proceeding and deliverables) is available at www.territorial-intelligence.eu/index.php/caenti/bibliography

 

Tools and links

Tools are now presented in three groups:

  • Tools for territorial intelligence: Catalyse Toolkit, Assessing Action-resarch quality, Journal of territorial intelligence, web mapping portal for territorial indicators
  • Portal services: photo galleries, Feed RSS, Site map, Tag cloud, Search
  • Collaborative tools: Intra-consortium and CooSpace

A specific website, Catalyse Community was developed for Catalyse.It is composed by a blog part that allows the users being informed of the new versions, having access to online demonstrations and to presentations of slide show kind. The users can download tools there (for instance Anaconda 2.2 was downloaded 107 times and Pragma 106 times). The second part is built on the basis of a wiki that allows having access to tools online documentation, in several languages.

 

Statistics

The statistics of website visit (provided by Google Analytics) show a regular progression on the course of the caENTI:

  • 7000 visits during the first year,
  • +9000 during the second year (~16000)
  • +17000 during the third year (~33000).
  • ~ 56000 visits during the three years (~48000 visitors).

The 33000 visits received during the third year come from 167 different countries, and from 3258 different cities.

 

Coospace

CooSpace aims at reinforcing the integration of the caENTI consortium, by being a virtual laboratory and answering the organizational needs of the research activities. CooSpace is a web-based application offering spaces for information exchanges and cooperative work and allowing daily work between two meetings. CooSpace has been managed by the University of Pécs (Hungary) since March 1st, 2006.

 

Intra-Consortium

The objective of the Intra-consortium is to provide an extranet to the caENTI, to give access to internet services to the participants and to assist the internal communication and the consortium management. This caENTI intranet provides useful information and tools that help the members and the network in efficiently working. The Intra-consortium has been managed by the University of Franche-Comté (France) since March 1st, 2006.

The Intra-Consortium is principally used by Workpackages leaders and leader group for the consortium management, the provision of official documents and documents restricted for the consortium.
