OpenStreetMap itself is a project to do with {{tag|map}}s, but interestingly it is applying [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] principles to map making.  You can consider it essentially one big wiki with a single document: a map of the {{tag|Earth|world}}.  Contributors can view the map and then move across to the edit tab and edit the map!  The OSM project is modelled on [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], and like Wikipedia, is overseen by a {{tag|Nonprofit|not-for-profit}} organisation registered in {{tag|England}} and Wales, the [https://wiki.OpenStreetMap.org/wiki/Foundation OpenStreetMap Foundation] (OSMF).  It releases all of this map data (and wiki content) with an open license; namely the {{tag|Wiki Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 license}} (CC BY-SA 2.0).  With over 300,000 registered [[user]]s, it's a very active community of map makers.
