%X Since the 1970¡¯s, Fernand Braudel has urged for the integration of space in historical analysis, pointing towards to what we call nowadays a ¡°Geographically-Integrated History¡±. For this historian, the creation of a map as an analytical support was necessary to comprehend men¡äs evolution, in the belief that change happens in a space-temporal frame. Our work is being developed within the research project DynCoopNet (¡°Dynamic Complexity of Cooperation-Based Self-Organizing Commercial Networks in the First Global Age¡±) which goal is to reveal the mechanisms of cooperation among merchants that tied together the self-organizing commercial networks of the First Global Age (1400-1800). Focusing on the notion of dynamic that implies an integration of space and time, our aim is to develop a spatial analysis, highlighting the role of space on network building. This paper intends to present an innovative approach that demonstrates the benefits of carrying on spatio-temporal analysis of historical data sources.
