"ESSENCE seeks to build collaborations between individuals and groups with expertise or a view to share on some aspect of climate change, and software development groups who have Web platforms they want to see tested.
On the wiki Tools pages, you'll find introductory profiles to each of the Technology Groups who are participating in this experiment. Check them out, indicate your interest in trialling their tool if you can, or get in touch with them direct to find out more."
Includes "Cohere", "Compendium", "Debategraph", "Deliberatorium", "TruthMapping", "Debatewise", "CoPe_it!", and "Argumentations"
From the site: Debategraph helps groups collaborate in thinking through complex issues by building and sharing interactive maps of domains of knowledge from multiple perspectives.
Also, just cool. What visualization has stuck with you your whole life?
"All 1,943 Cornell Faculty were asked to respond to the following question:
Of the many charts (graph, map, diagram, table and 'other') you have seen in your life, which has been the most important, remarkable, meaningful or valuable?
On the archival paper provided, they were asked to create a copy of the chart and in the remaining space annotate notable attribute of the data and the image, describe what they remembered about first seeing this image and comment on why they chose this image.
All other Cornell community members are invited to share their favorite chart by visiting the display table in Mann Library near the reference desk on the first floor."
