[Geowanking] Research on governance and the geoweb

[R E Sieber]

Hi Everyone,

I, at McGill U, and some guys at UCL and Nottingham are trying to 
conduct research into why and how governments (municipal, national, 
agencies, public private partnerships) are developing geoweb 
applications. But we need some best practices cases. So can you point us 
to  exemplary government users/developers of geolocational apps, be it 
on Google Earth, Flickr, iPhone, Twitter, Maker!, OSM, OpenLayers, etc.?

I myself am more interested in the subnational so if you know of a city 
or an agency (e..g, a state Forest Service) is developing these apps, 
that'd be cool.

I'd be more than happy to share results, interview instruments, etc.

thanks,
Renee
