identify a location:

The Network collects the identities of places throughout the world where there is an interest in enterprise and economic development. Identities are published in three websites in support of a mission. All you need do is to send an email that identifies a location if you you are interested in the mission and want to suggest that it be listed in The Network. Neither you nor anyone who is, for example, an economic development representative or location data supplier incurs an obligation as a result of suggesting that a place be listed. We (who we are) provide the free service of publishing a location identity as well as a link or information about an area or local development contact. For example, take a look at what is published online from the Global Registry of Contacts.

how to identify a location:

Send an email with the location identity string as its subject. The location should be a place that can be found on a standard map or in a atlas. Here are examples of locations:

open source project:

Definition of open source: an approach to accessibility that makes knowledge and development of a product or service openly available. As a design approach it invites public input. The Open Directory Project (Dmoz/ODP), for example, is constructed and maintained by volunteer editors. Dmoz addresses open source advocacy, listing among its resources a link to Open Source Initiative where there is another definition of open source. Both links for Dmoz/ODP in this paragraph are to the website's listing among search engines (access advanced search).

The Network user group has freely contributed to development of its information resources since 1997. The expression open access is used to indicate that its websites and all of information in them is freely available to the public. The mission statement and search promise of The Network will help you see that it has operated as an enterprise and economic development open source project throughout the years. Users are invited to freely input information about resources that they want to share with others. Places around the world seeking economic development, i.e., locations for site selectons are invited to identify themselves and resource suppliers who furnish their informaitn to prospects in The Network for free.

At the center of The Network as a open enterprise and economic development directory project is its Global Registry of Contacts. If you are engaged in the mission or any activity that is similar and count yourself among the resource and service providers who work with other members of the specific user group on which we focus our attention (who we are), you are mission an opportunity by not looking into Global Registry of Contacts. The GRC is an open contact directory project that you can benifit from at whatever level you choose.

Tracey, in The Human Resources Glossary defines Human Resources as: “The people that staff and operate an organization … as contrasted with the financial and material resources of an organization. The organizational function that deals with the people ...” Long a term used sarcastically by individuals in the line organization, because it relegates humans to the same category as financial and material resources, human resources will be replaced by more customer-friendly terms in the future.
