TECHNOLOGY - OUR BIGGEST AND MOST IMPACTFUL INVESTIGATIONS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT DATASHARE, THE RESEARCH PLATFORM WE CREATED AND NOW MAKE AVAILABLE TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS TO ANALYZE MASSIVE TROVES OF DATA. THE SOFTWARE WE DEVELOPED IS NOW BEING USED BY UNIVERSITY RESEARCHERS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, NGOS AND OTHER JOURNALISTS WORKING ON THEIR OWN INVESTIGATIONS AROUND THE WORLD.A KEY FEATURE OF DATASHARE IS ITS ABILITY TO SEARCH MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF DOCUMENTS (PDFS, SPREADSHEETS, SLIDES, IMAGES, TEXT DOCUMENTS, ETC.) TO SORT INFORMATION, EXTRACT EMAIL ADDRESSES AND RECOGNIZE NAMES OF PEOPLE, ORGANIZATIONS AND LOCATIONS BASED ON THEIR CONTEXT. WE USE DATASHARE TO DEVELOP STORY IDEAS, TO CALCULATE KEY FINDINGS, TO STRUCTURE DATA, AND TO RECOGNIZE PATTERNS AND TRENDS THAT DRIVE THEIR REPORTING.RESEARCH AND DATA - ICIJ STRUCTURES DATA AND IDENTIFIES PATTERNS AND TRENDS THAT DRIVE REPORTING, RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATIONS.
