– Actively ask the community for feedback– Be prepared to improve the data– Provide a contact person
– Real time is best, otherwise update regularly
● Use the language of the developer– Provide some specific challenges– If possible use english as well as dutch– Provide json– Provide rest– GEO : google maps not KML– Understand who you are dealing with
