what is openstreetmap? the openstreetmap “one-liner”

A web project to create a free and open map of the entire world, built entirely from volunteers surveying with GPS, digitizing aerial imagery, and collecting and liberating existing public sources of geographic data.

Data semantic interoperability.Convergence of bottom-up (OSM) and “directed” (reference data models) ontologies.

Data semantic interoperability example.Cross walk of OSM tagging system and UNSDIT United Nations Spatial Data Infrastructure for Transport

(UNSDIT used as transportation data model in the WFP SDI).

1. Free and interoperable data.

2. the OSM Architecture: web platform and client application, web services and toolkit.

3. the OSM ecosystem: tools and applications sprung up around OSM free geodata (routing engines, map cartographic libraries, mobile API's, countless mashups, several editors, quality checkers etc...) resulting into a positive feedback loop to the project by ensuring data improvement...

4. The power of a critical mass of 180,000 members fast-growing, active and skilled community in:- data generation and maintenance- system development (volunteers/ start-up-companies).- documentation- community-powered learning, training and capacity building.

OSM: the key elements of a comprehensive solution for geodata management.

OpenStreetMapTeam

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Team

a new initiative rooted in OSM

building on two years of informal cooperation

to apply the principles and activities of open source and open data sharing

towards humanitarian response and economic development.

Core Mission- connecting point between humanitarian and open mapping communities- remote data creation during crisis- collection and organization of existing data sources- deployments to the field possible- distribution point for free data

Advocacy, Training and Outreach- mapping parties- speaking, writing, meetings in humanitarian and United Nations technical communities

Thinking and Design- promotion of crowd-sourcing and simple web standards for data sharing- technical improvements to OSM and OSGeo in response to field requirements (offline support, verification, format adaptors, multi-master sync..)

1. Data sharing.

OSM/ HOT Ready to partner!* Framework and methodologies to explore sharing and serving data

* Compatible with UNSDI data models

* Large skilled community, tools .. join us!

* Interesting issues to solve within a working “SDI”

* Apply outcomes to operations, training, outreach
