This is to me the most interesting sentence from Mrs Spence: "Projects such as Open Street Map, through which thousands of Britons have contributed their local knowledge to map pubs, landmarks and even post boxes online, are the first step in the fight back against "corporate blankwash", she added."
Isn't it remarkable that a cartographer calls Open Street Map to rescue cartography? Unfortunately I don't fully understand "corporate blankwash"... Anyone to explain "blankwash/blackwash"? - S. 2008/8/29 Tyler Bell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > A great shout-out to OSM from the British Cartographic Society: > http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7586789.stm > > The thesis of the article is, however, wholly specious. > > TyB > _______________________________________________ > Geowanking mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking >
