communities without technical skills. Watch video
Trunity integrates authoring, blogging, news, events, multimedia and social
networking functionality into a unified platform with robust collaboration and
content management functionality, giving individuals and organizations a new and
extremely cost-effective way to develop online content and catalyze community
activity.
The Trunity platform also features a unique federated directory, content sharing
and user identity functionality, enabling powerful new types of collaborations not
just within communities but also across multiple organizations or networks of web
sites.
Organized like a mirror of the world around us.

2. What is Trunity?
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.
The Trunity platform establishes a new
benchmark in group publishing.

3. Market Firsts
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 Neighborhoods
Websites 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.

4. Technical Advantage
Trunity is easy. No technical barriers
Because 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, Enterprise
Special groups or editorial committees can publish or syndicate existing
content per ad hoc editorial policies.
Every Website is Independent and Autonomous
Each 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) Review
1400 scholars from over one hundred universities publishing over seven
thousand papers on the Earth Portal have driven the Trunity editorial
process requirements

5. Strategic Advantage
Dublin Core Standard
Content 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.
Trunity Hosts The Digital Universe (see Wikipedia)

Access to existing human rights document archive
Over one hundred of the core human rights declarations, treaties and laws
available to re-publish and organize in your own network.
Highly respected existing user community
Experts in science, education, economic development and human rights.

6. Economic Advantage
Web-Based Platform Means No Infrastructure Costs
The 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 DSN
Trunity 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.
*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

7. People Advantage
Minimal Training Requirements for Self-Sufficiency
More people can be trained more easily providing for an ever increasing
community of people publishing on the web.
Trunity Websites Reinforces Digital Literacy Skills
As a CMS, the Trunity platform brings together core digital literacy skills
(word processing, file management, web-based tools) in a coherent,
organized way.
Organizing Around Dewey Decimal Concepts
User defined directories employ the Dewey Decimal methodology
Think: Localized Context Sensitive Pedagogy
Consider the implications if anyone or group can build multimedia enabled
virtual classrooms, curricula and resources at the community level.
Increased Productivity of interns and volunteers
Volunteers can work from any computer with an Internet connection.

Why pay thousands of dollars
over years for HTML websites
they you update?

and manage a real educational,
informative public resource
AND integrate curriculum, student
projects, membership, events,
volunteers and more

20. Candidate
Digital Universe Portal
Experts form editorial committees
to steward Digital Universe Portals.
Several leading researchers initiated
the Diabetes Information Portal (DIP)
project in early 2007. For the last
eighteen months, they have been
preparing informatics foundations
and concepts as published in the
Journal of Diabetes Science and
Technology 2008 and in partnership
with several medical research
institutions.
They are in the process of forming a
coalition of the world's top scientists
in the field of Diabetes to participate
as editors and expect to apply for
Digital Universe status this fall.
Such status allows them to apply for
federal grants as a partner.

21. What is a Directory?
A directory is an
ontological expression of
context of order or
disorder, of wide
perception or narrow,
also used to navigate
websites.

22. What is a
Taxonomy?
The backbone of the
Trunity Platform is
expressed here as a
table of contents.
But it could be an
ontology of a
particular subject
area or personal
perspective of world
view.
