BRICs is an acronym that refers to the fast growing developing economies of Brazil, Russia, India, and China.

reducing black carbon is one of a number of relatively quick and simple climate fixes using existing technologies

Data portability is the ability for people to reuse their data across interoperable applications. The DataPortability Project works to advance this vision by identifying, contextualizing and promoting efforts in the space.

Higgins is a framework that enables users and applications to integrate identity, profile, and relationship information across multiple data sources and protocols. Higgins is organized into three main areas: Higgins Selector, Identity Services (i.e. Identity Provider and Relying Party code), and the Higgins Identity Data Service.

Our vision is that interactive, accessible computer simulations help spark action that stabilizes the climate. And we've got simulation tools and resources for communicators and analysts to help make that vision happen.

Starting wtih Volume 35, Issue 1, Computational Linguistics is an open access journal, freely available to all online readers. There will no longer be a print edition.

Research about the highest potentials of local communities in the age of digital technology and virtual cooperation.

TeLearn is the first international open archive dedicated to research in the field of technology enhanced learning. It accepts research papers and videos, in any language.

"Ambiently is a startup company developing web discovery engine applications. Envisioning the broad usage and benefits of creating a page-centric "ambient web" for every page on the web, Ambiently aims to create a new, richer web browsing and search experience for all web users."

Climateprediction.net is a distributed computing project to produce predictions of the Earth's climate up to 2080 and to test the accuracy of climate models. To do this, we need people around the world to give us time on their computers - time when they have their computers switched on, but are not using them to their full capacity.

The GoodRelations ontology provides the vocabulary for annotating e-commerce offerings (1) to sell, lease, repair, dispose, and maintain commodity products and (2) to provide commodity services. GoodRelations allows describing the relationship between (1) Web resources, (2) offerings made by those Web resources, (3) legal entities, (4) prices, (5) terms and conditions, and the aforementioned ontologies for products and services (6). For more information, see http://purl.org/goodrelations/ Note: The base URI of GoodRelations has changed to http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1. Please make sure you are only using element identifiers in this namespace, e.g. http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#BusinessEntity. T

Crosswalks are documents that map metadata elements between different metadata standards. The crosswalk may be presented as a document for humans to read, in which case the crosswalking process must be performed by humans who are referencing the document. Alternatively, a crosswalk document may be expressed in such a way that a computer can automatically perform a mapping from one metadata standard to another.

Argument maps are diagrams that display the structure of an argument. By combining pictures and words, argument maps help people to create better arguments and analyses. iLogos is a freely-available, cross-platform tool that allows you to easily construct and share argument maps.

Semantic Cloud is the API that powers semantic search engine SenseBot and contextual linking tool for bloggers LinkSensor. The API supports SOAP and REST protocols (HTTP GET). The idea is to empower semantic startups or any ventures that are looking to utilize an affordable high-quality semantic solution to build their applications. Semantic API features include: * extraction of semantic concepts from a page or document; * creating a "semantic cloud" of concepts describing a group of documents; * generating a multi-document summary of a set of pages; * generating an essay on a topic based on a set of documents. Multiple parameters allow the client to control the type and format of results.

The goal of this project is to develop a Python tool to make an in-depth quantitative analysis about Wikipedia, generating graphics and statistical results for each language version of Wikipedia.

This doctoral thesis offers a quantitative analysis of the top ten language editions of Wikipedia, from different perspectives. The main goal has been to trace the evolution in time of key descriptive and organizational parameters of Wikipedia and its community of authors.

But invariably, simple models and a lot of data trump more elaborate models based on less data."

CAIDA, the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis, provides tools and analyses promoting the engineering and maintenance of a robust, scalable global Internet infrastructure.

ESSENCE is the world's first global climate collective intelligence event - designed to bring together scientists, industrialists, campaigners and policy makers, and the emerging set of web-based sensemaking tools, to pool and deepen our understanding of the issues and options facing the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December 2009.
