The Streets of Women Asunción
The Streets of Women is a collaborative mapping project that seeks to identify the streets that are named after prominent female figures in Latin American and Spanish cities, denouncing the gender gap present in the public space. Citizens can participate, either by adding the names of the streets that are not mapped in OpenStreetMap, creating Wikipedia articles about the women who haven't been included in this online encyclopedia, or inserting new cities. In addition to publicly disclosing the number of streets that commemorate women, it also publishes how many of them have an article on Wikipedia. In Asunción, only 7.8% of streets are named after a female figure, and 54.5% of these women do not have an entry in the online encyclopedia.

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
