User Manual

Welcome to the p2d2 User Manual. Here you will learn how to use the application, collect geodata, and contribute to quality assurance.

Overview

p2d2 is a web application that synchronizes open and free data from citizens with open data from our administrative data.

We start with geodata because it is of high practical use and illustrative. The application enables citizens to review, correct, and supplement the administration's open data before it is transferred to public platforms like OpenStreetMap or WikiData, where it can be used by all of us and related to other data.

Target Audience

• Citizens who want to collect and improve geodata
