Result description
The webLyzard visual analytics dashboard is a search and information exploration platform to track and visualize evolving stories across multiple Web sites and social media platforms. The system identifies opinion leaders who trigger and amplify a story, and provides visual tools to analyze the relations among these opinion leaders.
The dashboard uses multiple coordinated view technology for the desktop version, and a cross-platform HTML5 application to access analytic function through smartphones and other mobile devices. The dashboard’s real-time synchronization mechanisms allow the tracking of information flows within InVID’s contextualized information space. This includes the ability to display image and video content (using thumbnails to represent related stories and content clusters), thereby integrating visual content into existing Web intelligence and knowledge co-creation workflows.
The final version of the dashboard developed within the InVID project supports: (i) story detection across social media channels, (ii) story-based newsworthy video identification, (iii) automatic metadata extraction and indexing, (iv) content exploration and visualization, (v) one-click submission of selected videos to the InVID Verification Application, (vi) rendering the geographic distribution of emerging stories, (vii) embedded playback at the video and fragment level, and (viii) automated PDF reporting.

R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
The integrated version of the dashboard including the entire technology stack developed within the InVID project is currently on the TRL8-9 level. Selected widgets are already in production and have been deployed for client applications.
Highly scalable both in terms of technology stack, delivery mechanism and business model.
