GOVCOM.ORG is an Amsterdam based foundation dedicated to developing and hosting political tools on the web. The foundation is founded and largely run by Prof Richard Rogers of the University of Amsterdam. GOVCOM.org is involved with the MACOSPOL (Mapping Controversies of Science for Politics) under its workpackage 3 concerned with the compatibility of collected tools and the communication of both use of tools and the Mapping Controversies methodology to a wider set of governmental actors/participants. GOVCOM.ORG and Richards are also the developers of IssueCrawler – a webbot engine for Link analysis tracking of issue presence and activity online. Issuecrawler is a tool used across the Mapping Controversies program as a means for easily identifying where (and with which Actors) an issue is ‘based’ (as an issue) in relation to where it is geographically ‘occurring’. GOVCOM.org in cooperation with http://www.infoid.org/ developed IssueTicker (2005)- a NewsFeed style ticker (developed pre: rss) that performed link analysis to provide an identification of issues and actors and where (in terms of web presence) that issues was playing out. This project was presented as part of the Bruno Latour and Peter Wiebel ’Making Things Public’ book and series of exhibitions. GOVCOM.org also worked on the Belgian Election Issue Tracker – which crawled the popular press to map the playing out of dominant election issues - and ViagraTool – a link analysis project and representation charting the marketing of Viagra on public perception.
