With FME it is possible to automatically update geographical repositories and use git, distributed version control system (http://git-scm.com/), to manage the versions of the files and the inclusion in Github.

The objective of our project is to create geoJSON files from different spatial formats (Oracle database table in our workbench) and host them in a github repository (https://github.com/). Github allows us to store our open data (https://github.com/iderioja/base_datos_geografica) and use as a collaborative mapping framework where users can contribute to the edition of the GeoJson files (geojson.io, Chrome extension, for all you GitHub users out there, that adds a button to GitHub repos and gists containing geojson for easy editing in geojson.io). This has huge implications for data collaboration.
