UIS- Wikicaves Working group

 
 
Hello ,

As you might  have seen  or read in the IUS report ,  Wikicaves and its database Grottocenter  are evolving  and expanding .We were wondering if  you would be willing to take part  in this project initiated in  2016  by the  the UIS and the UIS- Wikicaves Working group  to  ascertain what level of locational precision for caves  you are  ready to  accept for your  country and if you would be willing to supply information about some of  your caves in order .to expand the world database which is slowly expanding  .

 Once more,   thank you for your  contribution to the  caving community

Map on Grottocenter: even better!

  Vincent has just published 3 improvements on the maps:   The scale is indicated, which makes it possible to quickly have indications of distance ; A button allows you to choose whether our location is used to center the map and to display a point where you are ; The map URL can now be shared, it contains positioning and zoom information.      The cave where I organized an outing last weekend is located here   https://grottocenter.org/ui/map/45.72423528362707,6.093984246253968,20

The Underground Heritage Library (Namur) under the ODbL license

As part of ongoing efforts to facilitate data exchange between documentation centers dealing with the underground world and karst, the Namur Underground Heritage Library has recently placed its database under the ODbL license. This allows for automatic data exchange with other libraries using the same license, particularly with BBS data accessible on Grottocenter.
