We can call their output 'Volunteered Geographic Information' (scientific trend) or 'crowdsourced geotdata' (buisness trend).Here follows some examples of such systems: OpenStreetMap (http://www.openstreetmap.org/) is one of the most known one.

Indeed, on its ‘community’ website (http://resources.esri.com/) the Redlands company released nearly at the same time two web map client code samples that everybody can upload and test Flex client: http://resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/apis/flex/index.cfmBertrand De Longuevillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15495238332593222814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589005851464542746.post-56935277985087554012008-12-17T09:11:00.007+01:002008-12-17T10:18:05.836+01:00Web 2.0 : hot or not ?I'm kind of tired with the recurrent dispute I read here and there on the Web : "is this website 'Web 2.0' ?", "is Web 2.0 something else than a buzzword?", and the worse one "is Web 2.0 still a hot topic today?".Please, let's put aside the fashion effect, and go straight to the facts.
