The Mapper in action

1. Creating a new mapping

Create a new map be adding a title, tags, and uploading a file to map. Don’t forget to select the language it is written in.

By submitting the file the system will automatically read the content highlighting SDG mentions and related content, and build a set of graphs depicting its findings.
