MAPCLICK
MapClick enriches place data. It turns boring data into a live story.
MapClick is for organisations responsible for a place and the things in it. The source does not matter: fetch and normalise, identify the real thing, then enrich it over time.

We observe real world systems, identify where they are not working as intended, and document what we see.
