What's preventing OpenStreetMap from being the system you envision, except for a lack of users?
> I would love to see a federated way for local business to list themselves to be listed on open maps/search engines/etc instead of being listed on google business.
What does federated mean in this case? Could OpenStreetMap be that Federation protocol?
- boredumb 4y agoI was imagining a system where you can essentially host your own file with your business metadata and different systems can use it for their own maps. In this case OSM could be aggregating businesses into their map to display local tire shops, etc. I the real power would be a third party aggregator for businesses that can use OSM to power the map itself where they manage the businesses/reviews/etc
