Aleph
OCCRP, a global platform for investigative journalism, provides journalists with vital resources and tools, for digital and physical security such as Aleph, supporting collaboration on sensitive topics.
Aleph, an open-source investigative data analysis toolkit, allows for the generation, search, and analysis of large, heterogeneous data graphs. It integrates both structured and unstructured data and supports secure search, cross-referencing, and data export.
The core of Aleph's functionality is Follow the Money (FtM), a shared data model facilitating the organization of concepts vital for corruption investigations. FtM can be generated from tabular inputs or from the ingest-file system supporting numerous formats. Aleph serves as an interactive viewer for a search index of FtM entities.
