Atrium

Phase 2 covers the 27 countries of the European Union, with the same view as phase 1. The first version of the POC was built on European podcasts and libraries, so this market already has the most data.

Experts are placed in a market by their country of origin: their nationality when a source gives it (Wikidata or their own description), otherwise the country of their organisation. It is approximate in this POC. 1,727 experts of the directory are counted in neither tab: 988 with no known country yet, 739 from other countries (Norway and Switzerland among them).

Podcasts and books each find their own experts, screened against the same 6 roles, then crossed: nobody is counted twice. Academic research, awards and opinion pages add no new names, they show which experts publish research, won a prize or write in the press. Circle areas follow the numbers, overlaps are approximate.

Country not known yet: 200 more experts are heard only on podcasts in languages of the European Union, but no source gives their country. They are probably from this market. Placing each one in a country needs a deeper search (one web search per person), so they are not counted in this tab.

Each bar compares what the POC has already processed with everything there is to process in this market, on our subjects. Totals leave out what the data rules out for free (fiction, dead feeds, off-topic categories); anything that has to be read to be sorted stays in, since sorting it is part of the work.
