Business Problem
Many enterprises suffer from the lack of a central repository for staff members and
partners to quickly discover each other’s knowledge of a given locale. Similarly, many
enterprises find it difficult for their staff and partners to quickly contribute observations
(e.g., reports, thoughts, pictures, and the like) that are tied to a particular time,
geographic location and ascribed to one or more toponyms (e.g., place names).
Lacking a central repository makes it difficult to “know” what others know about a
given locale, and difficult to contribute to the larger enterprise. Often, back-office
operations tend to describe the world “authoritatively,” while direct/local observers
of remote locales and activities critical to the success of the larger enterprise are
unable to effectively contribute their knowledge.
