IGF2015 Online Media Coverage
Top hits from the Google News queried by “IGF 2015” were submitted to text-mining analyses.
The following wordcloud presents the most frequently used IG specific words.
The following two graphs present the relative importance of different IG issues and IG baskets in the online media coverage of the IGF 2015.
In online media, the prefixes “digital” and “net” are proportionaly used more often than they were used in the IGF 2006-2014. The prefixes “cyber” and “online” are used less frequently in the media coverage of the IGF 2015 relative to their usage in the IGF sessions 2006-2014. There is almost no difference in the usage of the prefix “e-” in media and the IGF.
Sentiment analysis: by tracking the presence of emotionaly charged words in the online media coverage of the IGF 2015 we have concluded that the 10th IGF meeting is most often represented in a positive context.
Keywords categorisation: computational analysis have revealed the structure of similarity among the automatically extracted keywords from online media reporting on the IGF 2015.

The Internet and Death
Typically, discussion about death is culturally sensitive. This was confirmed by a debate in culturaly diverse CreativeLab of DiploFoundation. An invitation to provide metaphors explaining the Internet and death (visualisaiton of the IGF session on Digital Legacy) triggered a very interesting conceptual, philosophial and cultural discussion. It resulted in the following interesting visualisation.
