Further developments in the theory and practice of cybercartography: exploring web 2.0 and participatory software for building geolocated narratives

This chapter addresses the potential to build geolocated narratives using social software facilitated through Web 2.0. The development of these narratives can provide a richer information resource for better understanding human landscapes. The chapter will provide a general background to the theory of such undertakings and also give examples of applications that are generating products in a collaborative manner, whereby the digital narratives are 'provisioned' through contributions via Web 2.0.
