Mash-ups reuse, repurpose and combine existing data, art or content to create something new, or add value in some way.
We encourage users to mash-up OpenGeoscience material with their own data in new and innovative ways by adding new functionality or interfaces.
We can draw inspiration and know-how from mash-ups from the developer community to help us develop robust new products for the benefit of society. Contact us if you create something new and innovative that could benefit others.
Notes for developers can be found here
