The Ethics and Rights Architecture (ERA) is a language-neutral international standard indexing system designed to catalogue all data relating to human rights and fundamental freedoms. It will ensure that relevant information is censorship resistant and tamper-proof, and can be easily and precisely found.

The CGD is a genealogy of concepts that aims to map thought through time and reveal the structure of the evolution of concepts, meanings and values. Correctly done, this will reveal the nature of the radical continuities and discontinuities both within and between cultures, and provide an instrument of considerable value for inter-cultural diplomacy.

Democracies are complex architectures with several political, informational, and procedural dimensions. They are also for this reason extraordinarily vulnerable architectures, given the rewards that exploiting them can bring. Weakening any one of — or any combination of — its structural elements places a specific democracy itself under enormous strain. 

From the methods and techniques that generate the granular data used by scientists, statisticians and developers to the narratives composed by the media and governments which frame them, the forum examines the opportunities and problems arising from the development of technologies that continue to open unprecedented possibilities for knowledge and influence.

The World Ethical Data Foundation is shaping a publishing house which under its various imprints will bring stories, oral histories, moral philosophy, and non-fiction to its audience in an attempt to reveal the effect of assimilated technology upon the people and institutions of our world’s many cultures. Told from multiple perspectives, several of our imprints will be devoted to, among other things, the exploration of the internal contradictions and conflicts that have arisen in light of new technologies, and how the technological present and future are being envisaged across the globe.
