    Business intelligence (BI) technologies such as data warehousing and On-Line Analysis Processing (OLAP) are major decision-support tools that used to necessitate heavy financial and human investment. Yet, there now exist numerous free BI suites including proprietary, open source and/or cloud solutions. However, proprietary software mostly focus on dashboards and visualization and all have limited functionality, e.g., lack of efficient data integration from disparate sources. Moreover, although some open source software do handle OLAP exploration, they are still technically out of the reach of small companies, non-governmental organizations, researchers, independents such as journalists or makers, and active citizens, whom we particularly target in this project. Finally, the cloud BI trend crosses with the growing demand for collaborative tools that enable users to mashup private, self and open data, perform joint analytics, annotate figures or reports and communicate through social networks. Current answers to this global demand remain below expectations, mostly pertaining to sharing analysis results online. The aim of BI4people is to bring the power of OLAP interactive analysis to the largest possible audience, by implementing the data warehousing process in software-as-a-service mode, from multisource, heterogeneous data (typically under the form of tables from spreadsheets, textual and semi-structured documents, or the Web) integration to very simple OLAP-like analysis and data visualization (dataviz). To achieve this goal, the BI service must implement privacy by design, be autonomous, extremely simple, user-friendly and intelligible (IT and BI jargon proscribed!). In this framework, classical data warehousing stages still apply, but must be fully automated. To the best of our knowledge, BI4people would be the first platform to achieve this goal, as similar projects relate to automating machine learning processes instead. Moreover, the software prototype we plan as the main deliverable of the project will implement privacy by design in all steps, allow collaborative analyses and be effectively intelligible to users. We indeed stress the importance of dataviz appropriation by users, which involves an interdisciplinary collaboration between computer and information and communication sciences.

    This proposal is part of an in-depth work carried out by the Claude Bernard University of Lyon 1, which is based on the strengths of the institution, the practices of its researchers, its actions and mediation mechanisms, as well as its research on the issues of dialogue between the scientific and social spheres, in order to envisage an interdisciplinary department. This department, which is part of the institution's strategic plan and is to be set up in 2025, will work to enable and make visible the crucial question of the continuum of "creation, production, openness, dissemination, circulation, sharing and appropriation" of knowledge, from the scientific to the social sphere. The project therefore aims to equip and consolidate this prefiguration work, which places ethics at the centre of its dynamics, to better support researchers in their practices, to enable these practices to be recognised as research work, to better welcome the public, and thus to establish a clearer understanding of the links and articulations between "knowledge dissemination", "scientific mediation" and "open science". The aim of this project is therefore to develop the University's third mission at a time when it is contributing to the production of knowledge in research fields that directly address the major challenges facing our society (health, climate, digital transformation).

    ROR² (Recherche Ouverte et Responsable X Research on Research) aims at two scientific goals. The first is to produce a detailed, in-depth analysis of researchers' practices of openness given their complexity (values, policies, standards), approaching them alongside those of integrity (values, principles, codes/charters), and taking into account the ways in which they are abused, in other words their 'washing' and/or 'predation' dimension. The aim is to understand how these practices are determined in a continuum or in a context of shifts, between responsible practices and bad practices. The second objective is to renew the frameworks for analysis and research on open science by adopting a multi-methodological, multi-disciplinary and multi-scale approach, which comes under the category of Research on Research, which is necessary to deal with the complexity of the mechanisms in which practices are determined and evolve. In addition to a WP dedicated to project management (WP4), ROR² is organised around three WPs: WP1 is dedicated to a topographical analysis of practices taking into account the configurations and constraints in which they are deployed, WP2 is dedicated to the unprecedented production of a taxonomy of the variety of platforms involved in the production and dissemination of research (results and data) and their strategies, since the emergence of the Internet, to shed new light on the structuring patterns and recompositions of the research ecosystem and its funding. WP3 is linked to the previous WPs in order to identify the mechanisms that favor the anchoring of practices of openness and integrity, their possible misappropriation (washing), and even their predation. ROR² will thus provide an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms at play in the current transformation of practices in research, of its codes, of its values, of its culture and of its vocation. The results will provide input for public and institutional policies that promote open research and research integrity.

    Understanding quotations in context is an unresolved problem in information science. The complexity of this object of study requires a transdisciplinary dialogue between bibliometricians, linguists, sociologists and computer scientists. This project aims to draw up a typology of citation contexts in order to better explain citation acts and to establish the functional bases of their uses. This transdisciplinary dialogue will lead to the proposal of a conceptual model of citation acts as well as to the elaboration of a prototype for identification, extraction and classification. Today, the stakes around citation contexts are crucial by mobilizing significant resources, as the stakes are so high: extraction of semantic information, improvement of recommendation systems, access to increasingly dense information, automatic expert identification, research evaluation. These resources and tools also lead to a rethinking of traditional bibliometric indicators by proposing new measures. Therefore, methodological reflection must be carried out in concert with technological advances. This project will allow to highlight the French ISTEX project, and to have a national resource of citation context in order to valorize these resources. The final objective of this work can be summed up in three points: at the conceptual level, by making a major contribution to the development of a citation theory; at the application level, by proposing a dataset for exploratory purposes of citation contexts as well as a technological demonstrator; at the ethical level, by preventing the misuse of indicators built on semantic relations.

    The practice of physical activity (PA) is stagnating or even regressing in Europe. It poses important public health problems (INSERM, 2019). In this context, connected objects and applications for sport and physical activity (ASAP) seem to come at the right time to stimulate practice, both among the general population (sedentary or active) and for people living with chronic conditions. These digital devices are designed around three central motivational levers: objectifying the evolution of one's performance in order to adjust the intensity of the sessions (autonomy); benefiting from encouragement within communities of users (social support); and making physical activity, which is often perceived as a pain, enjoyable (gamification). However, the use of ASAPs does not constitute a groundswell. Socially differentiated, it mainly concerns men who are already sportsmen, and less so those for whom physical activity is recommended (particularly from a health perspective). Several studies also point to a high drop-out rate once the discovery phase is over. Other studies show the many faces of "connected athletes": adapting ASAP prescriptions, they ignore certain features and engage in selective use of available functions. Digital technology does not act as a providential, deterministic agent of change. For its uses to become sustainable, the technology must be embedded in a set of practices, constraints and habits, which requires an alignment between the initial perspectives of ASAP editors and social contexts "reinnovating" from specific ways of doing and thinking. This accommodation is in fact reciprocal: the self-tracking industry increasingly involves targeted users in calibrating ASAPs and fostering lasting attachment. The literature focuses on the engagement, uses and experience of ASAPs. While deepening this facet, the project focuses on the mutual adjustments between ASAP publishers and targets, by linking "adoptations" on the user side, and sectoral declinations on the supply side. In particular, we will observe the circulation of digital devices between three sectors corresponding both to the main outlets targeted by ASAP editors and to the areas of expertise of the scientific partners: sport leisure; adapted PA for chronically ill people; sport at the workplace. The objectives will be 1) to analyze the arrangements constructed within each sector; 2) to identify the reorganizations made at their intersection, in terms of strategic "pivots"; 3) to identify, at the end of studies centered on the uses of these applications, the conditions in which the appropriation of an ASAP is facilitated or hindered. It is therefore a question of observing the reception of solutions (by the targeted users, clients, intermediary actors and/or prescribers), and, symmetrically, the strategies for deploying refined digital devices between different sectors. Beyond the double view, the originality consists in being interested in the changes resulting from this meeting between two dynamics: evolutions of solutions initially thought in a sectorial logic; specific needs emanating from publics for which nothing guarantees that they will adopt these custom-made ASAPs. To carry out this project, the consortium has a solid network of socio-economic partners (sport tech companies, associations, public actors) within each sector. These partners formally agreed to share their expertise, relate their experiences and open their organizations to the researchers' viewpoint: making data available, conducting interviews to identify the development and variations of ASAPs. They are also strongly expecting results and usage studies (on the beneficiaries' side) to optimize their strategic positioning.
