Enipedia is an active exploration into the applications of wikis and the semantic web for energy and industry issues. Through this we seek to create a collaborative environment for discussion, while also providing the tools that allow for data from different sources to be connected, queried, and visualized from different perspectives.

"The Data Journalism Handbook is a free, open source reference book for anyone interested in the emerging field of data journalism." Includes sections on visualization, sourcing and analysis of large data sets, and various public policy related case studies.

The purpose of the project is to create and convene an interdisciplinary network of thinkers and doers that could help with making the transition from closed-and-centralized to open-and-collaborative institutions of governance.
