Quote 1 “ If you don’t make [lower-resolution mapping data] publicly available, there will be people with their cars and GPS devices, driving around with their laptops .. They will be cataloguing every lane, and enjoying it, driving 4×4s behind your farm at the dead of night. There will, if necessary, be a grass-roots remapping.”

Quote 2 “ You could have a community capability where you took the GPS data of people driving around and started to see, oh, there’s a new road that we don’t have, a new route .. And so that data eventually should just come from the community with the right software infrastructure.”

Trackpoints Nodes

Ways highway = residential name = Chestnut Lane oneway = true surface = flags highway = primary name = Otley Road ref = A660 Tags ! http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Map_features amenity = hospital name = Saint James emergency = yes POIs Areas leisure=nature_reserve A method of relating multiple ways and nodes together, e.g. one way turning from way A to way B using node C is not allowed Relationships

Folksonomy You decide what to “tag” things. Democratic, bottom up i.e. “how do you tag an orchard?” (a wood for growing apples) Tagging rules – match reality, not if it can be displayed by the rendering rules on the map http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Map_features

A Future – Cloud Made – Start up for openstreetmap Distruptive technology Changes the market Companies want good accurate, up to date maps Side effect: Funding for projects, mapping parties, local things, where some extra cash for volunteers makes the difference. GPS loan for developing countries.
