Linkurious


Linkurious is a French software company that provides social network analysis primarily through graph visualization.

History

Linkurious was founded in 2013 by Sébastien Heymann, David Rapin and Jean Villedieu following the development of Gephi, which was inspired by the prototype for Stanford’s Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis project Mapping the Republic of Letters and looked at connections across thousands of communities in Europe and North America during The Enlightenment.

Products

Linkurious Enterprise provides search and visualization capabilities for various graph databases such as Neo4j, TitanDB, DataStax, AllegroGraph and RedisGraph.
Linkurious' graph visualization tool is used for NASA's Lessons Learned database, identifying connections between seemingly unlikely subjects, such as a correlation between contaminated fluid and battery fire risk.

Panama Papers

The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists used a commercial version of Linkurious and Neo4j in the investigation of the Panama papers, uncovering 4.8 million leaked files consisting of emails, 3 million database entries, 2.2 million PDFs, 1.2 million images, 320,000 text files, and 2242 files, evidence of money laundering, tax evasion or political corruption.
ICIJ also utilized the software during the Swiss Leaks investigation that revealed a massive tax evasion scheme in which 180.6 billion euros passed through HSBC accounts.
