Introduction

FWII’s new DSN platform for indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities and strategic partners!

Four Worlds International & Trunity

After an exhaustive search and careful consideration Four Worlds International has found the perfect platform to build Deep Social Networks and the Digital Forth Way.

The core architecture of the Trunity Platform provides for a level of interoperability across autonomous websites and networks of websites not contemplated on any other platform. It is as graceful and simple as it is ambitious.

What is Trunity?

The Trunity platform establishes a new benchmark in group publishing.

Web-Hosted Professional Standard Content Mgmt Systems (CMS) Trunity is the first truly scaleable, and first fully web-hosted CMS. Existing social networks lack the ability to organize content.

Interoperability and Virtual NeighborhoodsWebsites and sections of website directories on the Trunity platform can be easily organized and integrated into three dimensional network configurations in ways not contemplated on any other platform.

Live Cross Publishing:Trunity’s unique platform architecture allows for unrestricted publishing of content across the platform while maintaining original editorial control and attribution.

Market Firsts

Trunity is easy. No technical barriersBecause no special “technical” skills are required to build and manage portals, no more barriers between those with the knowledge and those seeking knowledge on the world wide web.

Support for Ad Hoc Editorial Groups, EnterpriseSpecial groups or editorial committees can publish or syndicate existing content per ad hoc editorial policies.

Every Website is Independent and AutonomousEach portal is the primary entry point or door into it’s network. Relationships between portals within networks (virtual neighborhoods) are by mutual consent and are mutually exclusive.

Editorial Process (peer) Review1400 scholars from over one hundred universities publishing over seven thousand papers on the Earth Portal have driven the Trunity editorial process requirements

Technical Advantage

Dublin Core StandardContent published on the Trunity platform conforms to the international standard for digital publishing and archiving. This data standard has been adopted by museums, libraries, governments and universities.

Highly respected existing user communityExperts in science, education, economic development and human rights.

Strategic Advantage

Web-Based Platform Means No Infrastructure CostsThe Trunity Web Service uses best practices for redundancy, mirroring and security on Sun web servers in collocations on an Internet backbone. No user-side equipment is required.

No Out of Pocket Cost to Build Initial FWII DSNTrunity and FWII will work together with HRRCA to develop and solicit funding for hosting, training and capacity expansion.

Opportunity to Form and Seek Funding as a Digital Universe (DU) Steward Coalition

Running on the same platform, The Digital Universe Foundation is sponsoring the creation of the most trusted network of informational portals on the Internet.

Economic Advantage

*The National Council for Science and The Environment (NCSE), as the secretariat for the DU Earth Portal Coalition recently secured multi-year funding to “create a Learning Community for Solutions to Climate Change” on the Trunity platform

People Advantage

Minimal Training Requirements for Self-SufficiencyMore people can be trained more easily providing for an ever increasing community of people publishing on the web.

Trunity Websites Reinforces Digital Literacy SkillsAs a CMS, the Trunity platform brings together core digital literacy skills (word processing, file management, web-based tools) in a coherent, organized way.
