Project Name: Dominix.

Introduction

In this project we try to analyze and model the “Dominican Republic” in order to ground future reforms; and provide a data platform to aid data oriented inquiry and discussions.

Bremontix 1.0 is a comprehensive project consisting of a data platform and a series of essays designed to aid in the understanding of the country. Our goal is to keep both the platform and the analyses as up-to-date as possible.

We will employ extensively the concept of ‘data oriented essay’ in order to represent the agents, that conforms the dominican state.
