We are compiling a Database of Databases that will be drawn upon to create data-rich interactive Dymaxion™ maps and graphics that reveal the key drivers of global systems interactions and trends. The sources of data are all in the public domain and available online. They will be clearly cited when used. The synthesis of data and trend recognition employed in World Game™ Workshop simulations disclose synergetic (“doing-more-with-less”) problem-solving options often obscured by linear analysis.
Examples of the kinds of data contained in an Inventory of World Resources include: global population and its distribution; location of metal resources; conflict minerals; population movement and disease spread; global solar and wind energy resource; income inequality; global soil biodiversity; state of the world’s land and water resources for food and agriculture - to name but a few.
The following sampling of data sources we have identified provides a sense of the comprehensiveness of gameplay we are ultimately aiming for.
