Exemole ensures the deployment and maintenance of SSE resource website socioeco.org based on three free software:

  • the BDF document resource management software, this software was initially developed to manage the internal documentary databases of the Charles Léopold Mayer Foundation (FPH) and then used to produce resource sites such as socioeco.org. 99% of socioeco.org’s content is managed by this software.

  • SPIP software is a content management software (CMS) born in the early 2000s, widespread in the French associative world; it is used to format the data managed by the BDF software on a web page as well as to manage some elements of the site (presentation pages, news, syndication feeds).

  • the Scrutari software for the search engine. Scrutari is developed by the company Exemole with the support of the FPH as the BDF software. Scrutari was first developed for Coredem, a community of documentary resource sites that includes Socioeco.org. The Socioeco.org search engine offers a mechanism similar to Coredem by including in the results links to SSE sites other than Socioeco.org (for example, the FTAO, the SSE Knowledge Hub on SDGs etc.).
