ATuNombre.uy
ATuNombre.uy is a web platform that visualizes in an interactive map of Montevideo all the streets that bear names of women, along with their biographies. The map was made by a group of citizens who used the open data available at the City Hall of Montevideo and found that only 142 streets are named after women. The objective of the initiative is to draw attention to the fact that women are underrepresented in the nomenclature of the streets, a message that is supported by current statistical data on the participation of women in Uruguayan society. Less than a year after launching the platform, the Montevideo Departmental Board has already designated several streets with names of women protagonists of history to honor them.

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?
