Large Websites
• Challenge: Making information find-able on large-scale human rights websites
• Solution: Carefully designed architec-tures, building on cross-cutting tax-onomies, leveraging faceted search
Large WebsitesInternational Commission of Jurists

Extroverted Data
• Challenge: Much of the data human rights groups gather is locked up in internal databases and only published in static reports
• Solution: Direct publishing, visualisation, while leaving control with publisher to filter sensitive information
