Geopedia

Geopedia is a web-based free atlas, which can be edited an extended by its users – members of the general public.

It contains various kinds of geographical and geo-referenced information which comes from many different sources and is thoroughly described, tagged, cross-referenced and categorized. Its user-friendly web interface makes it easy to find items of interest – either through full text search or via hierarchically organized categories – and to display them on interactive maps, which can be saved for later viewing and manipulation. Users can define and publish new layers with custom styling and textual descriptions, aggregate related layers into custom maps and associate them with other sources of information. Its advanced browser-based geometry editor allows anyone to insert new geographical features or edit existing ones making Geopedia a true collaborative on-line GIS and giving it potential to become an important source of user-generated geographical content.

Capable of containing vast amounts of geographical information and display it to the public, Geopedia is also a perfect solution for organizations and associations that need to disseminate their data, but lack the resources and infrastructure to do it efficiently. By sharing their data on Geopedia, they can present their accomplishments  in an environment designed specifically for this purpose and easily accessible to anyone.

Geopedia was launched on 15.5.2007.
