abstract = {This paper presents a global map of technology that characterises the proximity and dependency of technological  areas.  It  addresses  the  structure  of  technological  output  embodied  in  the  network  connecting patents to the patent classifications that they are attributed to. The distance between areas of  technology  is  based  on  the  analysis  of  the  co-occurrence  of  IPC  codes  assigned  to  individual  patent  documents.  As  our  classification  of  technologies  we  use  an  extended  version  of  the  WIPO  classification  of  technological  fields,  unfolding  the  35  classes  to  389.  The  global  map  allows  to  ‘overlay’ patents produced by a specific organisation or country against the background of a stable representation  of  global  technological  invention  and  to  produce  comparisons  that  are  visually  attractive, very readable, and potentially useful for policy-making and strategic management. As an illustration,  the  technological  portfolios  of  two  large  industrial  corporations  (IBM  and  BASF)  are  projected  on  this  global  map  of  technology,  highlighting  the  technological  profile  of  these  groups.  As  such,  the  map  can  provide  valuable  information  about  promising  areas  of  further  technological  development, comparative advantages and missing technological competences. },

abstract = {Until recent time, the description, light-modeling and interpretation of socio-cognitive dynamics of science-society relations required a constructivist approach, involving collecting, reading, classifying and interpreting tasks performed by scholars examining sets of texts, archives, interviews, etc. The growing mass of data produced in the so-called Knowledge Society owes a lot to the acceleration and profusion of digital tools that are now widely used in different areas of human activities: work, culture, leisure, political expression, etc. Social scientists now largely acknowledge that the various modes of interaction brought by new information and communication technologies are changing the very nature of micro-politics and the expression of the self. In our views the conditions for producing knowledge from a Science & Technology Studies point of view are changed too, for at least three reasons: • the deluge of electronic sources of data overloads our capacity of enquiry, • S&TS dynamics now intertwine heterogeneous actors, matters of facts and matters of concerns coming from different arenas call for an integrated understanding of knowledge production and circulation. • Nevertheless, new digital infrastructures specifically designed for social sciences and humanities make it possible to equip scientists with tools that enable them to tackle the complexity of heterogeneous textual corpora dynamics and to develop innovative analytical methodologies that will bring new insights and renewed capacities to investigate contemporary issues.},
