  • A very simple solution that would go a long way is to include an "author" attribute to each map.

    Why?

    1) If you have two similar maps, identical map title, two different authors - you can meaningfully distinguish between the two. Without an author attribute this is not possible. (This happens more often than you think.)

    2) If you suspect a map is "stolen" in the sense commonly used in the mapmaking community, you can verify via the author field.

    3) By being able to find all maps by a particular author, you can identify an author you like - so it serves an additional purpose as a recommendation list.
