Transforming Governance and Engaging Communities Through Collaborative MapStorytelling

MapStory is a transformative tool that empowers individuals to organize knowledge spatially and temporally, enabling structured dispute resolution and creating a platform for social storytelling. This innovative approach captures historical, social, and environmental data to engage communities in understanding the past, present, and future. By harnessing the power of crowd-sourced data and narrative mapping, MapStory promotes collaborative storytelling on topics such as human rights abuses, tribal histories, and environmental changes.

  1. Transforming Governance and Engaging Communities Through Collaborative MapStorytelling

  2. English History Math Social Science Science STEM Humanities Engineering Geography

  3. Crowd Sourcing Story Telling

  4. MapStory is a new dimension to the global data commons which empowers people to organize what they know about the world spatially and temporally, rather than encyclopedically, the way Wikipedia already empowers us to.

  5. Temporal Social Narrative

  6. To understand the challenges of today and tomorrow, you must understand the past. We must self consciously think about change over time, and demand that all data be spatio-temporallyenabled.

  7. To understand the value of the data from the crowd, you must understand its lineage and the social context of its production. We must self consciously construct a “high attribution” social platformthat enables “structured dispute resolution.”

  8. To understand the world, people use more than just an ordered accumulation of facts. They tell stories. We must self consciously empower everyone to compose and spatio-temporally enable narratives.

  9. Slavery, Diasporas and Remittances Energy, Natural Resource Extraction and Processing Villages, Towns, Cities and Slums Genocide, Human Rights Abuses, and Human Trafficking Biological Stress, Extinction, and Invasive Species Wars, Battles, Treaties, and Borders Tribes, Clans and Nomadic Peoples Crops, Domesticated Animals and Trades State Failure Hydrography, Waterways, and Transportation Armed Groups Empires, Kingdoms and Dynasties Finance, Manufacturing and Trade

  11. Passionate Communities • 5000 years of evolving political boundaries, globally • MapStory Local of many communities • Historical sequences of aerial imagery and raster maps • Complex humanitarian processes (e.g., LRA, human trafficking, etc.) • Historical wars and battles • Longitudinal gazetteer • Evolving social networks • …and on and on and on and on and on…

  12. Final Points Global data commons and the collaborative platforms that support them help unleash the dark matter of the universe represented by the global cognitive surplus that we enjoy.

  13. Final Points Change over time, in place, is the thing that can inspire future generations from every passionate information community Every information community struggles with our rich past, complex present and uncertain future.

  14. Final Points Storytelling is a preternatural human impulse, and it is inherently communal. Empowering people to tell their stories, in place and time, and making MapStorytelling a collaborative and even communal process, will empower our global community to better wrestle with our complex present and uncertain future.
