Subtask: NAAN Map Maintenance

What this is for: maintain of the official public-facing world map of registered NAAN holders, linked now from arks.org/community 

Platform: currently google maps -- free (open to alternatives)

Wanted: 1 or 2 people to help review, refine, and document this subtask

Frequency: ? Not more than 6 times per year

Steps to create new map:
   Go to mymaps.google.com
   Create
   Import map.tsv
   * to do: figure out how to automatically get map.tsv to google drive
   Fiddle with flag icons (small dot, red)
   Fix a few Addresses
   Update NAAN registry on github with address fixes
   * to do: figure out how to automatically get new map.tsv to google drive
   * to do: figure out protocol for getting stable offical map link to point to new map

Alternate: Steps to modify existing official map:
   Go to existing map
   Open its "data table"
   * to do: figure out how one curator can alter another curator's map,
            (or maybe just copy their map, alter the copy, and make
            the new copy the "official" map?)
   Add new addresses by hand
   * to do: figure out how to automate that

As of today , a separate task from the registry, updated regularly (691 institutions) but not dynamically : capture of screens on a personal google map, in which are imported the location data a .tsv file. The data comes from the N2T (and also drives data visualization of naan holders), is stored on a google drive. The data has columns (geolocation and labels have to be manually specified) and some addresses are not displayed properly : the map doesn’t always get the distinction between "postal" addresses and "geographical" addresses for institutions. Also, visualization parameters have to be manually set for improved reading.

Aurélien : ask FranceArchives data geolocation team how they operate and which free, sustainable tools they recommend

Bertrand to explore inserting geolocations into wikidata for naan holders and use direct queries from wikidata map

Issues : automation/access rights to the source document

NAAN and Shoulder Form Maintenance
   Go to n2t.net/e/shoulder_request
   * to do: figure out how one curator can alter another curator's form
   ? or is this easy with some "sharing" setting?

Volunteers?
