Peace PRISM: A framework for sharing and displaying spatio-temporal indicators

Friday 15 June 2007 by Mayeul Kauffmann

This initiative [1] aims at building an information system for spatio-temporal data (in international governance, conflict, human rights and environment areas), targeted both at researchers, students and at a much broader audience, with a web-based information system. The main components of the Peace PRISM project are:

Merging: Merge the available databases that are useful for peace research;

Displaying: Display these data in an interactive, graphical form (maps, diagram, time scales...), with one-click access to related textual documents;

Retrieving: Allow easy retrieval of data.
