Cartography.. Spatial Data.. GIS.. all changing. http://www.axismaps.com/typographic.php

Open Knowledge: “ A piece of content or data is open if you are free to use, reuse, and redistribute it - subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and share-alike.” http://www.opendefinition.org/ What is Open? http://flic.kr/p/7Aqgs5

Publish data in web-standard format (that means XML, not PDF, XLS, DOC...) Standards: INSPIRE, W3C, OGC. Community: Plug into existing, attract new userbase. Build it, Publicise it, Use it and they will come.. All dependent on Open Data & Standards http://richard.cyganiak.de/2007/10/lod/
