What @pdxmele
Says It Isn’t
!
A rendered map that uses
particular
cartography, whether for web or
paper.
!
Proprietary—anyone can use it for
free as long as they provide proper
credit
!
Something static—it changes and
grows all the time
!
Controlled by an authority—it is
driven and maintained by a large
community of contributors and data
consumers
