Dataset language: English 2. Abstract: This repository contains a dataset that analyzes 43 Volunteered Geographic Information projects, within the framework of the integration with Spatial Data Infrastructures. The information is extracted from consulting the geoviewers and browsing the web pages of the 43 projects in the period 02-01-2021 to 12-30-2022. The parameters assess the initiatives, themes, scope, duration of the projects, accessibility, technologies used, interactions with data and between users. Weightings and cluster analysis have been applied to the parameters to identify best practices. 3. Keywords: Collaborative Mapping, Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI). 4. Date of data collection: from 02-01-2021 to 12-30-2022. 5.
