Open Place Reviews

What is Open Place Reviews?

A decentralized, open-source platform for sharing and managing user-generated reviews of local places such as restaurants, hotels, attractions, and museums. The platform is inspired by collaborative projects like OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia, aiming to create a similar platform for user-generated content.

Highlights

• Register and update information about local places, including linking to other web sources
• Collaboratively define tagging and metadata principles for places and reviews
• Automatically synchronize place information with public sources like OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia, and blogs
• Develop tools to detect and mitigate fraudulent, spam, or vandalized reviews
• Store all data transparently using blockchain technology to prevent manipulation
• Allow applications and users flexibility in how the review data is displayed, avoiding monopolistic control
• Potential future monetization through business subscriptions, with revenue shared among contributors
