- 53 Tagging, Linking, and the Knowledge Graph How tagging, cross-references, and graph structures transform isolated data into connected knowledge. Covers tag discipline, provenance, hierarchies vs networks, and AI-assisted tagging done right.
- 54 Maintaining and Updating the Knowledgebase Addresses the long-term stewardship of community mapping knowledgebases: update cadence, crowd-sourced contributions, editorial review, dispute resolution, archiving, migration, funding, volunteer continuity, and sustainable maintenance planning.
- 55 Open Knowledge and Sharing Explores open knowledge practices for community knowledgebases, from licensing and APIs to federation, multilingual sharing, and reciprocal relationships with researchers and journalists.
