Knowledge platform Infosets
Knowledge platform Infosets supports projects, organisations and networks with filtering and analysing information. Infosets collects, selects and categorises news articles from a wide range of sources. Users receive articles that are relevant to their field of interest and can create their own news pages, save articles, alert others, make custom newsletters and forward articles to their own webpage.
In addition Infosets offers the possibility to tag articles with the names of persons, organisations, locations and themes.
Infosets was developed and is managed by Cooperative Knowledge itself. Target groups include knowledge organisations and policy makers. Different installations are used for different domains. Main general domains are http://infosets.nl (mainly Dutch articles) and http://newsfolder.info (multilingual).
Bouwstenen voor sociaal
The website Bouwstenen voor Sociaal (Building blocks for social aims) was created as a knowledge platform for board members, managers and professionals dealing with social real estate. This includes buildings for neighbourhoods, education, shelter, culture, sports, welfare, information and care. The website has around 5000 subcribers to its newsletter, which is produced with the Infosets platform.
SWO Drimmelen
SWO Drimmelen is a welfare organization working for the municipality of Drimmelen in the South of the Netherlands. The website provides information about the services of the organisation and includes an interactive volunteer vacancy database and a market place for personal services.

Kennisplatform Bewoners
The "Kennisplatform Bewoners" (Knowledge platform Residents) was created for the associations of small villages in the southern provinces of the Netherlands. It aims to share information and experiences around improving the quality of life in villages and neighbourhoods. It uses the Infosets service to gather information from a variety of sources and to tag the newsitems with the relevant themes.
InterActor - Graph database dashboarding
For a long time, most databases were table-based. Since a few years, a new type of database has emerged: the graph database. For many cases, this provides a more natural structure to model data. However, tools that allow proper insight and manipulation in this type of databases are limited. For Graphileon, we developed a web-based graph database tool that allows basic exploration and manipulation of data in Neo4j graph databases, as well as the creation of advanced data-driven dashboards for specific use cases. Responsibilities include the software architecture, full-stack development in Javascript (e.g. jQuery, Angular) and PHP, and deployment methods including Webpack and Docker.

Hierverwarmt.nl
HIER is an organisation focused on the Dutch movement away from natural gas and towards renewable energy sources in homes. Though the platform already existed, we were asked to make changes to give the platform more focus on municipalities rather than neighbourhoods, and to give a full overview of all activities and changes regarding natural gas in the visitor's environment.
