Abstract
ISTARI webAI is an AI-based analysis tool that can be used to retrieve and analyze company websites. WebAI is primarily used to provide a searchable, real-time view of the activities and technologies of approximately 20 million companies in Europe and North America. For this research project, the websites of tens of thousands of Ukrainian companies have been scanned monthly using webAI starting in September 2022 and analyzed in terms of their communications related to the Russian-Ukrainian war that started in 2022. In addition to these twelve monthly snapshots, historical snapshots from the pre-war period were extracted using the Internet Archive. In the context of this colloquium, the resulting time series dataset and first content-related results will be presented and future research avenues will be discussed. The geocoded dataset will be made publicly available in the future.
