The LIFRANUM Project

The LIFRANUM project wants to identify and structure the corpus of digital French literatures (sites, blogs, social networks). This patrimonial dimension is coupled with an epistemological inquiry into the literarity of the identified contents and the dynamics of new sociabilities. The Web capture techniques used will allow us to develop innovative documentary languages. We will use, for content indexing, data lakes, and develop interpretable analysis models. The project relies on two laboratories encompassing literature, info-com and computer science; he acts the collaboration of the BnF; it is supported by the International Institute of Francophonie. The objective of the project therefore concerns the literary community, but beyond that, aims to make available to all disciplinary fields a corpus of magnitude as well as an innovative methodology.
