Relevant IG Issues and Prefix monitoring: Dynamic Coalition on Child Safety IGF2015 Dynamic Coalition on Child Safety Most representative IG issues in the Session Prefix monitoring: Dynamic Coalition on Child Safety 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. [New] Geolocalisation of government representatives Governments are among the stakeholders convening at the 10th IGF. Which countries are they representing and how large are their delegations? Click on the world map to find out, or click on the regional maps for Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. 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.Prefix Monitor
For background on information the use of prefixes in digital policy you can consult Dr Jovan Kurbalija's blog post on Huffington Post TECH: 'Security is Cyber. Development is Digital'.[NEW] Prefix Monitor IGF 2006 - 2015 Overview

Consider the usage of characteristically prefixed terms in the session transcripts of the IGF 2006-2014 (data are based on 614 available session transcripts). Diplo Creative Lab has conducted a text-mining analysis of the online media coverage of the 10th IGF on Day 0. In comparison to the findings from the IGF 2006-2014, prefixes "net" and "digital" are used more often in the news. The data are obtained from querying Google News with "IGF 2015" on Day 0 and collecting the top hits. An overview of the most frequently used prefixed IG terms and their similarity.Team Behind the IGF 2015 Reporting
