There is currently an increasing influence of traditional factors of information (mass media), the expansion of its modality, and, definitely, communication via the Internet.
The contemporary situation requires new approaches to the analysis of textual data and communication information. The operationalization of new methodological concepts is indispensable as well as the inventory of already developed techniques in allied sciences.
Moreover the issue of great significance is the development of methodology for the analysis of unstructured information as serial chain of research procedures - from production and formulation of the problem to the development of applied solutions.
Our project is represented as interaction between the key groups of professionals: social scientists, mathematicians (programmers) and representatives of other professional groups - potential consumers of emerging methods (for instance, political scientists or marketers).
Our project will be developed simultaneously in four areas:
1) Scientific area (the development of methodology of textual analysis and ways of visualizing information, the elaboration of methods and algorithms for processing large data arrays).
2) Applied area (sociological, marketing researches, management of information space, etc.).
3) Educational area - training courses for students and professionals, publications, workshops and summer schools.
4) The area of software development (training portal for automated testing procedures according to the unique methods of text analysis).
