The GeoSavvy Guide is structured as a dynamic, collaborative geography "wiki," offering users the ability to explore across geography and GIS.
Wikis have little inherent structure, allowing one to emerge according to the needs of the users:
Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally described wiki as "the simplest online database that could possibly work".[4] "Wiki" (pronounced [wiki][note 1]) is a Hawaiian word meaning "quick" -- Wikipedia
