THE WHOLE EARTH FOUNDATION

Approach

To address this problem, the Whole Earth Foundation (WEF) proposes to utilize the Whole Earth Access (WEA) platform to connect general citizens (or information providers) and infrastructure service providers by providing access to a database containing detailed information about their infrastructure, and an ecosystem designed to facilitate communication and collaboration.

At its core is the environmental database, constructed by pooling together and geoprocessing multiple public and privately available data sources. Once normalized, the data will undergo additional processing to be made available in very high geographical resolution, which is not available in most publicly available datasets today. The data is also pre-cleaned, helping shorten the development time for machine learning projects by third-party developers. Information providers can interact with this data through a UI (e.g., mobile app), enabling them to stay informed about the infrastructure’s status around them, thereby helping alleviate the imbalance of information between them and the infrastructure service providers.

Furthermore, in addition to having access to data, citizens can actively support the database and, consequently, maintain the underlying infrastructure. A commonly shared limitation among existing environmental databases is the slow renewal of information - an average of 1-5 years of wait time. The WEA platform expects to address this by crowdsourcing data collection; Participants of the ecosystem will contribute data to help maintain an up-to-date database

Future Projects

As the name implies, the "Whole Earth" Foundation intends to focus all infrastructure & environmental related projects around the world. As a starting point, we focus on the topic of water, but the potential uses of platforms go far beyond water infrastructure.

Provision of Ecosystem Tools

To promote the use and adoption of the WEA platform, WEF will be providing a set of tools for those who wish to engage with our platform launch networks.

The general public will be able to connect and access the environment database and data contribution. Participation with platforms and data provision will be encouraged by exploring gamification mechanisms such as using Missions to engage users in tasks.

Users can then manage and utilize the utility tokens they earn in exchange for various tasks.

Infrastructure related service providers will get access to environment database. This data will enable service providers to increase the efficiency of development projects by having access to most of the current information managed by the community. They will also be able to take advantage of products created by third party developers.

Third party developers will also have access to the environment database. They will be encouraged to explore new applications of data for projects that benefit infrastructure and the environment.
