Technological advancements in large database development and high speed digital transmission networks will result in global information systems.
These developments will influence how people interact with information. Through the Internet, a user can get fast responses and have two-way
communication using video conferencing and e-mail.
By using the global information systems, people from all over the world can be equipped with knowledge in many areas.
GLOBAL INFORMATION SYSTEM
- Web-based applications are delivered to users from a Web server over the Internet.
- Web-based applications store information in a database system such as Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle.
GLOBAL RESOURCE CENTRE
- Global Resource Center is a Web-based information system used in developing human resources for health.
- Global Resource Center offers a global library of human resources for health,
- focusing on developing countries.
- For example, healthcare personnel can store their individual details in this database. This database can be accessed by a country that needs the healthcare support.
- The healthcare personnel can then be contacted via this Web-based database and called to the service.
- By using this system, countries with health needs can be met. This resources center is managed by Capacity Project and USAID-funded global project.
GLOBAL DISASTER ALERT AND COORDINATION SYSTEM
- Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System is a Web-based disaster information management system.
- Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System stores disaster events in the database.
- The data is automatically analysed to determine the help needed by the affected country.
- For example, from the Current Disaster Events column, you can be informed of the flood that happened in China.
- This alerts people of the surrounding regions to evacuate and move to safer places.
- People living in Vietnam and Laos will take necessary precautions when floods happen in China.
- By using this system, it helps to coordinate the international responses during the disaster.
- Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System is a joint initiative of the United Nations and European Commission.
GLOBAL DATA MONITORING INFORMATION SYSTEM
- Global Data Monitoring Information System is a Web-based information system that collects data worldwide to sustain social and economic progress in all countries.
- Global Data Monitoring Information System is to help countries overcome problems of poverty, health and education.
- For example, data collected on HIV statistics is analysed and it was found that millions of death were caused by AIDS.
- By using this system, medical assistance can be promptly given to those countries affected.
- It is an effort by Millennium Development Goals under the World Bank group.
