Counted facts

A dictionary definition doesn't say how often a term is actually used. This counts it across the graph -- articles that mention it, open source projects tagged with it, and the organizations tagged with it, listed here alongside the count. A term has no peer companies, and nothing here claims otherwise.

Organizations tagged 114 Organizations ACTEC, AIConet, Alea Soluciones, APCS, ASTEL JSC, AST Networks, Atlantis Sat, Beia Consult International, Benvar Heat Transfer Systems, Big Marshyangdi Hydropower Company Limited, BLACOM, Brayo, CCS Brasil, CECPower, COMNT, COMSAT Philippines, Condenet, ConsulSat, Cooperativa de Electricidad de Alcira Gigena (Coele Alcira) Related terms
