This kind of everyone-as-informant mapping is shaking up the world these days, bringing the Wikipedia revolution to the work of humanitarians and soldiers who parachute into foreign places with little good information.
There are scores, if not hundreds more of these spying programs, such as XKeyscore, [that enables surveillance of nearly everything a person does through the internet] or Boundless Informant [that maps by country the data collected from computers and telecom networks].
Data collection methods included documents review, interviews with key informants, institutional mapping, SWOT analysis, interviews, checklists and focus group discussions.
In cooperation with the drop-in centre and local informants, a mapping was done and 276 FSWs from the 35 entertainment establishments were identified as currently working in the district.
In both Orange Farm and Hillbrow, the borders depicted in informants' sketch maps differed considerably from those laid down by official cartographic maps.
Users are able to select a country on Boundless Informant's "heat map" to view details including metadata volume and different kinds of NSA information collection.
Data were compiled from semi-formal interviews with key informants, community meetings, mapping exercises, workshops with fishers in the GOH during 1998 1999, and participant observations through July 2011.
Another program, Boundless Informant, tracks and maps where the N.S.A.'s Internet intelligence comes from on a country-by-country basis, even though the N.S.A. had told Congress that it did not possess the "technical insights" to make such detailed assessments.
Mapping information was crosschecked with prior information obtained from key informants.
The resulting map was, however, discussed with women during semi-structured, key informant, and informal interviews to ensure their perspectives were understood and represented.
In one sketch map the informant has written the words 'Do not know this side'.
