GisMap: for researchers, by researchers

GisMap (Generic Information Search: Mapping and Analysis of Publications) leverages DBLP and HAL databases to provide cartography tools for you and your lab.

• Free software: MIT
• Documentation: https://balouf.github.io/gismap/.
• Github: https://github.com/balouf/gismap

Features

• Can be used by all researchers in Computer Science (DBLP endpoint) or based in France (HAL endpoint).
• Aggregate publications from multiple databases, including multiple author keys inside the same database.
• Automatically keeps track of a Lab/Department members and publications.
• DBLP database can be used locally (LDB endpoint) to improve speed and reliability.
• Builds interactive collaboration graphs.

Don't want to install GisMap on your computer (yet)? No worries, you can play with it using https://mybinder.org/.

For example:

• A simple interface to display and save collaboration graphs
• Tutorial: Making LabMaps
• Tutorial: Making EgoMaps
• Jupyter Lab instance with GisMap installed

WARNING: don't use LDB on binder, which does not provide enough memory yet. Only HAL and legacy DBLP work on binder.

Quickstart

Install GisMap:

$ pip install gismap

Use GisMap to display a collaboration graph (HTML) from a Notebook:

>>> from gismap.lab import ListMap
>>> lab = ListMap(["Fabien Mathieu", "François Baccelli", "Ludovic Noirie", "Céline Comte", "Sébastien Tixeuil"], dbs="hal")
>>> lab.update_authors()
>>> lab.update_publis()
>>> lab.show_html()

If you are not using Jupyter Lab/Notebook, rich display will not work. Instead, save the HTML and display it on your browser:

>>> from gismap.lab import ListMap
>>> lab = ListMap(["Fabien Mathieu", "François Baccelli", "Ludovic Noirie", "Céline Comte", "Sébastien Tixeuil"], dbs="hal")
>>> lab.update_authors()
>>> lab.update_publis()
>>> lab.save_html("my_graph")
