[OHM] Building Infrastructure for OHM ­­ RPA Historic Wetland Mapping

[Susanna Ånäs]

Hi all,

I opt for an integrated vision for the two environments (Wikimedia & OHM)

Maps upload/access > search/storage > warping > tasking > digitizing >
contextualizing (linking to external data) > enriching > displaying

Many of us already work across projects. How could be boost that?
