OpenStreetMap (abbreviated OSM) is applying wiki principles to mapmaking. You can consider it essentially one big wiki with a single document: a map of the world. Contributors can view the map and then move across to the edit tab and edit the map! The OSM project is modelled on Wikipedia, and like Wikipedia, is overseen by a not-for-profit organisation registered in England and Wales, the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF). It releases all of this map data (and wiki content) with an open license; namely the Open Database License. With over 10 million registered users, it's a very active community of mapmakers.
The map itself has special information about wheelchair ramp accessibility and cycling lanes and pathways.
The OpenStreetMap Wiki documents OpenStreetMap on a MediaWiki-powered wiki.
