WHO are the information providers on this topic? Who might
publish information about it? Who is affected by the
topic? Do you know of organizations or institutions affiliated
with the topic?
WHAT are the major questions for this topic? Is there a debate
about the topic? Are there a range of issues and viewpoints to
consider?

international level? Are there specific places affected by the
topic?
WHEN is/was your topic important? Is it a current event or an
historical issue? Do you want to compare your topic by time
periods?
