DataharvestEIJC2020

For the last few years, OCCRP has been building Aleph, it's anti-corruption data platform. In it, journalists can get access to a vast archive of company, property and procurement info, as well as searchable versions of most of the document leaks published in the past decade.

Over the past two years, OCCRP has also been adding research tools to Aleph that let reporters make datasets about their own investigations, upload documents, and draw network diagrams with colleagues to identify and cross-reference key people and companies.

In this session, the project coordinator Friedrich Lindenberg will give an intro to the Aleph archive, explain how reporters can gain access to it, conduct their searches, set alerts and build out their own investigation databases.
