In a few hours, I'm giving a short intro to the Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential, a collection of world problems and humanitarian initiatives. If you have worked with global census, environmental, scientific or humanitarian datasets, or have synchronized other historical encyclopedias with WP: your input is wanted!
This cool reference was the result of one of Paul Otlet's projects from the 20th century, the Union of International Associations. It has ~60,000 articles at many levels of abstraction, along with links to related data sources and network information about which problems influence which other ones.
The EWPHP has just been released under a BY-SA license, and a small team is trying to wikify it, integrate its sources with wikidata, synchronize parts w/ WP where appropriate, and set up a world-editable interface to it. I will show you what the current digitized site looks like.
When: 1700
Where: Room 40 of the Primary School
The lead developer of the editable version, Tomáš Fülöpp, will also be coming to Wikimania this weekend, to meet with interested people.
