Data Democracy Portal
o Need one place where users can easily access to those products given by CEOS community
o Put all accumulated products in one placeo By using a search engine which can initially extract
product’ s keywords, thus, users could find data/ documents/ software that they really look for
o No actual images contain in a server but the linkage which guides users to the actual product location
o CEOS members could update the list of products at anytime when they have a new product comes to the program
o Troika closely works with SEO
