	<TITLE>The Computational Geowiki: What, Why, and How</TITLE>
	<SECONDARY_TITLE>Computer Supported Cooperative Work</SECONDARY_TITLE>
	<ABSTRACT>&lt;p&gt;Google Maps and its spin-offs are highly successful, but they have a major limitation: users see only pictures of geographic data. These data are inaccessible except by limited vendor-de&iuml;&not;ned APIs, and associated user data are weakly linked to them. But some applications require access, specifically geowikis and computational geowikis. We present the design and implementation of a computational geowiki. We also show empirically that both geowiki and computational geowiki features are necessary for a representative domain, bicycling, because (a) cyclists have useful knowledge unavailable except from cyclists and (b) cyclist-oriented automatic route-&iuml;&not;nding is enhanced by user input. Finally, we derive design implications: for example, user contributions presented within a route description are useful, and wikis should support contribution of opinion as well as fact.&lt;/p&gt;</ABSTRACT>
