Old and New School Mapping in Vancouver
From $1
Session Title: Old and New School Mapping in Vancouver |
Intended audience: - Government leaders
- Non-profits
- General public
|
Description of the session: |
| I
will moderate a session involving groups involved with mapping at the
municipal, non-profit and citizen levels, to talk about what their
interests in mapping are, how technology fits into it, and what visions
they have for the benefits to advocacy groups, the public and civil
servants by making mapping data and the ability to collaborate on maps
more broadly available. I hope to (but have not yet) invited those
knowledgeable about the YouMapVancouver Initiative or other groups
interested in mapping or semantic data. |
The goal of the session is to: |
| Help
the audience understand who's interested in maps, who the stakeholders
are in this area, to think about the possibilities for their low- or
high-level contributions, and to celebrate the successes and cool stuff
people have already done in this space. |
It answers one of the guiding questions of ChangeCamp by: |
| It
answers the first question by focusing specifically on one kind of data
the city already has: mapping and location data, which it has already
made available. It answers the second question by highlighting the work
of non-profits who are already working on behalf of citizens. |
