What is Community Mapping?
1) Community decides what to map, then creates/gathers the map data. That is, geographical coordinates alongside any other information.
2) Community also edits the map data themselves, and comes to agreement on the final product.
3) Mapped information is generally shared openly, online, contributing to commons. Community decides what to share or not share.
4) Community uses the information afterwards, themselves
