Description
Can you briefly describe the website?
The website is an experiment in open-content civic journalism. It allows people to investigate important issues by providing a space where people can collaborate on the documentation of past and current events, as well as the entities associated with those events. The website can be used to investigate topics at the local, regional, or global level. The data is displayed on the website in the form of dynamic timelines and entity profiles, and is exportable into XML so it can be shared with others for non-commercial purposes.
What kind of information is available on this website?
Information about specific events. There are currently about 6,000 events profiled in our database. Visitors can view these events by searching the database, or by browsing through timelines.
