Problem

Categories are insufficient, and maybe even misleading.

Background

The categories are old and the inconsistent result of the opinion of a few. "We have had different feedback from users over time. There is no silver bullet."

Thoughts

From others:

  1. Hazard Apps ➔ Hazard ?
  2. GIS Tools ➔ … ?
    • “Geographical Information System Tools” is too long.
    • “Geographical Information System” feels incomplete as a category name.
    • "GIS" is well-known in the field.
  3. Tools vs. Apps ?
  4. Analysis v. Simulation v. Visualization ?

    Perhaps, “Data Analysis”. — @silviamazzoni

From me:

Categories are not adequate, because apps overlap. Tags are more suitable, because app can have multiple.
