Municipalities open their GIS systems to citizens
By Marco Fioretti on December 30, 2008 (2:00:00 PM)
Many public administrations already use open source Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) to let citizens look at public geographic data trough dedicated Web sites.
Others use the same software to partially open the data gathering process: they let
citizens directly add geographic information to the official, high-quality GIS
databases by drawing or clicking on digital maps.
