Welcome to the Profile Curation Handbook — the administrative guide for the all new Wazimap NG!

Wazimap NG (Next Generation) provides easy access to different kinds of data through a mapped and open-source information system, designed to help non-technical users explore data, both meaningfully and in context. In other words, a Geo-Information Spatial (GIS) Tool “for the rest of us”.
This Profile Curation Handbook contains documentation on how to manage and upload datasets, as well as create and manage profiles and their associated indicators. There are two administration roles:
Data Administrator — responsible for sourcing, shaping, and uploading datasets and point collections to Wazimap NG.
Profile Administrator — responsible for defining and managing profile indicators, and site overall content. In short, responsible for how data looks on Wazimap NG.
Both these roles have a function in Wazimap NG’s three views. It is, however, possible for these roles to be performed by the same person. The three views are Point Mapper, Data Mapper, and Rich Data. The table below shows the respective logos for each view of Wazimap NG.
Point Mapper
Data Mapper
Rich Data
The rest of this Profile Curation Handbook is structured according to these three views of Wazimap NG, and the various roles that Data and Profile Administrators play for each.
