dmunozes@uwo.ca, jdelaros@uwo.ca
The CulturePlex Laboratory
Research on several phases of cultural dynamics
Creation
Transmission
Representation
Cultural Complexity
Analysis at several scales
Multidisciplinary approach
Taking advantage of new technologies
Motivation
Common needs between several CulturePlex projects
Network structure
Models of abstract representation
Storage systems
Visualization tools
Analysis measures
Motivation
Common properties of study
Same interest in the topics as well as on the relationships between them
Based on flexible schemes of representation at both levels:
Description
Semantics
Strong mathematical background
Network theory
Motivation
Solve heterogeneous part
Heterogeneous datasources
Databases, Spreadsheets, Binary Files...
Ad-hoc visualizations
Avoid repetitive manual work
Import data into complex networks
Creating visualization systems
Analyzing the patterns of the networks
