Many, many maps: empowerment and online participatory mapping
David Tulloch, First Monday 12 (2) (February 2007)
The convergence of public participatory mapping and cybertography is having far-reaching impacts through a variety of creative applications. This paper presents three different types of Internet mapping applications - Google Earth and Google Map API, Common Census, and a design exercise in Second Life - with a public participatory geographic information system (PPGIS) and cybercartography perspective. Each of these examples empowers users in a different way. The spatial applications and the supporting information that is being made available through Internet map applications represent a unique set of examples of the democratization possible through Internet applications.
