GeoTag connections
GeoTag can connect a place with the work and records linked to it. It helps people see where an activity takes place and who maintains the records, while keeping a site record separate from proof of title, ownership or legal permission.
Begin with the site, activity and people responsible for its records. Existing information may include a location description, operating context or documents held by participants. A programme should explain which details are relevant, how they are checked and who can access or update them as local conditions and responsibilities change.
A location alone cannot establish title, operating permission or the quality of evidence. Those questions require relevant records, review and decisions by the appropriate authorities. GeoTag is intended to keep the connection between place, activity and evidence visible, supporting a wider process in which participants understand the scope and limits of each record.
This foundation supports programmes that need to relate people, activities and evidence to a place while understanding which checks remain necessary.
This is for you if:
- A community needs to connect its activities with the relevant places
- Site records exist but are difficult to connect
- Partners need to understand where evidence was collected and what it describes
- Responsibilities for maintaining place records need clearer ownership
- A programme needs better context before reviewing activities, permissions and records
Place records
Describe relevant places and their connection with community activities, using the records and checks appropriate to the programme involved.
Activity context
Connect site information with the people, activities and responsibilities that give those records their local context.
Linked evidence
Relate evidence to the place it describes without treating location as proof of permission or ownership.
Clear responsibility
Agree who maintains records and how changes are reviewed as activities and circumstances evolve.
