We have decided to begin this chronology in 1994 until nowadays.
It is motivated as much by the need of beginning this project inside a limited historical frame, as the fact that 1994 marks for several reasons, the impulsion of a cycle of mobilisations increasingly based in the processes of confluence of social movements, meeting as international netroks of descentralized collective actions thinked to challende social and political reasons. Those international process of convergence are helped by new information and communication technologies than can support networked and cooperative dynamics in the preparation of those. Quite a lot of knowledge about social movements points that 1994 has been a crucial moment in the merging of the counter-globalization/global justice and solidary movement/ anti capitalist movement/ movement of movements and also some specifically "new" or "reactulized" forms of traditional collective actions aiming to challenge the authority and domination exerced by multinational organisations and institutions theoretically in charge of regulating and imposing monetarist policies centred in deregulation of the market and the gradual privatization of all life's spheres.

B. Where the mobilization does takes place?

What is Europe actually? Which countries and regions shall be listed inside the database?
That is a delicate question we couldn't face realistic, by one side because it was a long debate taht was not really useful inside the process of guetting to the first version of the project. For that reason we did select to retake the set of countries we did used for the databse of the directory of organizations.

International level: Means an event that has been developed at the same time in several places, by several groups of people, around the world. It can include places abroad Europe plus places in Europe. E.g.: Global day of action, International day of action, Mayday etc.

European Level: Means an event that has been developed at the same time in several places, by several groups of people, inside Europe . E.g.: Euromayday, Eurostrike, Euromanif etc.

European State: Means an event that has been developed in a place localized inside a European state, means also a generalized event that has affected specifically a state. E.J: a national general strike

Cyberspace: Means an event that has been developed inside the communicational and informational scapes. E.g.: netstrike, a netparade, an international chatmeeting etc.

Rural/ territorial level: By rural we are meaning an event that has taken place not inside cities, but in the countryside, you can specify in the free text box the exact name of the place (e.g.: plateau du Larzac, Ecotopia at...)
By territorial level, we understand the description of the exact name of the place where has been developed the event inside the city (e.g.: square, subway, the address of the place etc.)

C. Why did the mobilization take place?

We shall list the main reasons that have been motivating each one of the mobilization listed inside the global chronology draft. We think that it is more useful related to the optic of this chronos project (build a tool for collective memory from and within the social movements actor's and perspectives) to identify the obvious reasons that are advanced by the actors of the mobilization to explain the need and the motivation to develop a social and political mobilization. In this perspective we focuse towards the obvious or “official”common reasons that motivate people to get together and develop a collective action.

D. What is the form of the mobilization?

Which form(s) takes the several collective actions of this event?

Right now the way of identifying the several forms of collective actions is based in the methodology of filling the chronology global draft and to identify for each event (=social and political mobilization description) the driving collective action purpose's that it is proposed to the people coming to join the event.
One point needs to be underline before going further, our analysis doesn't means that we think that each event is only composed by one collective action, we really believe that any event is composed by a galaxy, a temporal and ephemirous sum of actions, driven and developed by its participants (individuals and groups). But we do also believe that each event can be characterize through a predominant form of action collective. Predominant in sense that it's linked to the call for action or to the information and communication mediaspace that surrounds the preparation and organization of the event: call for a counter-summit or for a media lab, for a march or for a strike. This predominant collective action is our target , we shall try to make our best to identify it.

E. Who is behind and inside this mobilization ?

Who did make the call to organize this mobilization? Was it a local, national, international call?
Who did answer the call and was present to the mobilization? Help us to identify the actors of the social mobilizations, How many people was present on the mobilization? What are the sources of those data?

The methodology we have been adopting to develop the entrances of this category is to identify the historical, traditional social movements and the so-called “new social movements” opening its definition to the new groups dynamics merging since the 90's. We do think that establishing a set of social movements is not a good approach related to our finalities, mainly for the reason that the social movements differs generally a lot from a country to another. Per example, the squatting movement (if it there is a social movement that really identifies itself per se as a squatting movement) is not the same, history, methodologies of action, social dynamics to share and built commons, etc, in Holland, in Italy, in england or in Spain; always in the same perspective, the so called movement against unemployment, and the movement against precariousness are still separated in some European countries, whereas in Italy or in France there is a small tendency to call themselves behind a common banner: movement against unemployment and precariousness, etc.

In fact those questions are a real problem for the chronos project. First of all, because it has been developped by a descentralized team composed by persons from various nationalities, few of them where native english, but we did choose it as the common "imperialist" language so we could communicate easily between us. The second language most used has been spanish. Nevertheless the choice of english is in part negative because it has excluded from the process people that didn't manage it at all. Secondly because it has produce a project with a poor english, with quite a lot of mistakes in the form and in the concept. Third, because the words being used to characterize the resaons to get mobilize (why?), and the ways to act (what?) needed a conceptual translation from some places to another ones.

F. Related qualitative documents developed before, meanwhile and after the mobilizations:

The introduction of related qualitative documents has been organize as follows:

- WHERE: exact link
- WHO: author, source
- WHEN: document before, during or after the event, date of production
- WHAT: nature of the content: call for action, tact, propaganda, poster, article of reflection, satirical
- HOW: nature of the media: multimedia, photo, video, text etc. + nature of the license: copyright, copyleft, creative commons, nothing
