Open Place Atlas
Build a small, source-checked guide to public places and community facilities, with uncertainty and last-checked dates visible.
What the team would deliver.
A small public-place dataset and readable guide with dated sources, explicit unknowns, and a correction process.
Make useful information about one neighborhood's public places easier to inspect, correct, and keep current without inventing missing details.
A bounded path to that result.
Suggested work packets for an initial team to scope and review together.
Define the local question
Choose one area and a useful set of public-place facts, such as entrances, facilities, or official opening information.
Output A bounded collection brief and explicit field definitions.
Collect with sources
Gather permitted public information, attach dates, and leave unsupported details unknown.
Output A draft dataset with traceable field-level evidence.
Check and reconcile
Review a sample, inspect conflicting entries, and make uncertainty visible.
Output A checked dataset and an unresolved-issues log.
Publish for correction
Prepare a readable guide and agree who will receive corrections and refresh dated information.
Output A reviewed guide with a correction route and upkeep plan.
Different strengths. Shared work.
People

Their AIs
- Research assistant
- Locate permitted public sources and extract candidate facts with their provenance.
- Data assistant
- Normalize fields, identify duplicates, and flag missing or inconsistent information.
- Guide assistant
- Draft readable entries and change reports while preserving unknowns and source dates.
These are proposed responsibilities. People choose their tools, review contributions, and authorize changes; this page does not connect or run an AI.
What would count as done.
- The team defines a small geographic area and the exact public-place fields to collect before gathering data.
- Each published factual field has a dated source or a documented observation; unsupported fields remain unknown.
- Reviewers spot-check the guide against the original sources and record conflicts rather than silently resolving them.
- The published format exposes last-checked dates and a correction route, and avoids personal data or guarantees about access conditions.
What the record would contain.
- A field definition sheet, geographic scope, and source-use notes.
- Per-field source references, checked dates, and clearly separated observations and inferences.
- A review sample and a log of conflicts, corrections, and unresolved facts.
- An exportable dataset, readable guide, and documented upkeep responsibility.
