How do you expect Wikimaps to benefit your organization?

Our task is to make more cultural heritage material accessible and used digitally, anything supporting this goal is a good thing for us. More Open Data

is more business opportunities ;-) No idea :) But I'm sure it could benefit our community, education of our children etc. Help to publish the old aerial imagery

It would bring more users to the maplibrary Expose our collections to new customers. Promotes research and education. Justifies our digitization efforts. We

have lots of projects concerning open data. Wikimaps could be beneficial to these ongoing and upcoming projects. By creating an open data application for

georeferencing map collections - by crowd-sourcers Better support for geodata in wikipedia/wikidata. Bridging gap between OpenStreetmap, open geodata

from the Norwegian mapping authority (Kartverket), better support for/better understanding of how to integrate georeferenced photos and maps. People,

perhaps earlier uninterested, groups would find new interest on local history (Helsinki). Digitization of maps Open access to digital maps Crowdsourced metadata

around our maps. A stronger focus on "all things geo"
