Data center – Data center di Google. Back When you're on a Google website (like right now), you're accessing one of the most powerful server networks in the known Universe. But what does that actually look like? Here's your chance to see inside what we're calling the physical Internet. Who's behind the doors of the vast global web we call the Internet? Rocket scientists? Sure. What makes a good hometown for the Web? Google has been working for years to optimize our data center designs in order to minimize our environmental footprint. At our data center in Pryor, Oklahoma, we've built strong ties with the Cherokee community. One of the reasons Google chose the city of Lenoir, North Carolina is its roots as a factory town in the furniture industry. Our data center in Belgium is notable for being the first to operate without water chillers. Here among Oregon’s rolling hills, snow-capped peaks and brisk Columbia River, we make Google products and services available to the entire world.

Palgrave.com: Companion website. Home / Learning Resources Weblinks There are many Internet sites concerned with issues of migration and ethnic diversity. Some of the most significant are listed here, arranged in to six categories. 1. Asia Pacific Migration Research Network (APMRN): APMRN carries out interdisciplinary research on the social and political aspects of international migration and the growing ethno-cultural diversity in the region. Euro-Mediterranean Consortium for Applied Research on International Migration (CARIM) CARIM was created in February 2004 to observe, analyse, and predict migration in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Region.

Open Data White Paper: Unleashing the Potential. 30 Places to Find Open Data on the Web. Finding an interesting data set and a story it tells can be the most difficult part of producing an infographic or data visualization. Data visualization is the end artifact, but it involves multiple steps – finding reliable data, getting the data in the right format, cleaning it up (an often underestimated step in the amount of time it takes!) And then finding the story you will eventually visualize. Following is a list useful resources for finding data. Your needs will vary from one project to another, but this list is a great place to start — and bookmark. 1.

Open data, infrastruttura dell’economia della conoscenza. Slightly skeptical) Open Source Software Educational Society. Open-source Weave liberates data for journalists, citizens. Data nerds from government and academia gathered Friday at Northeastern University to show off the latest version of Weave, an open-source, web-based platform designed to visualize “any available data by anyone for any purpose.”

The software has a lot of potential for journalists. Weave is supported by the Open Indicators Consortium, an unusual partnership of planning agencies and universities who wanted better tools to inform public policy and community decision-making. The groups organized and agreed to share data and code in 2008, well before Gov 2.0 was hot. Think of Weave as more programming language than app. It powers websites such as the Connecticut Data Collaborative and Rhode Island’s RI DataHUB. Data is linked, which means you can view the same datapoint from many angles. The software reminds me of SPSS, from my college poli sci days. Georges Grinstein, a professor of computer science at UMass Lowell, develops Weave with a team of some 20 students. Italia | Home. Public Data Sets : Amazon Web Services.
