it is about OPENDATA
OPEN DATA is data that can be freely used, SHARED and built-on by anyone, anywhere,
for any purpose.

DATA logger/book !=
GIS dataset !=
screen PRESENTATION
a MAP is ONE FORM of geodata
REPRESENTATION /sharing
EFFECTIVE
but has its
CAVEATS
not only « SHARING DATA »
but« SHARING INFORMATION »
GOV agency: « we need to publish DATA »INTERNET : « geodata are MAPS »CITIZEN : « I need an INFORMATION »
Is the PRODUCER able to CREATE a map ?Is the USER able to READ a map ?

«same same but different?»
reduce COMPLEXITY
with STORYTELLING

MAP LITERACY

SHARING DATA MEANS ALSO …
