The document discusses OpenStreetMap and how it has been used effectively to collect infrastructure data in Haiti. It introduces the OpenStreetMap Tasking Tool, which aims to coordinate volunteers surveying in the field or working remotely by allowing administrators to define areas of interest and workflows, and volunteers to determine which areas to work on. It provides an overview of some key aspects of OpenStreetMap, including its data structure based on key-value pairs and examples of OSM editors like JOSM.

Coordinate Efforts
OpenStreetMap has been shown to be an effective collection mechanism for
infrastructure data. One thing that is lacking is the ability to
coordinate workerssurveying in the field or working remotely. The goal of the
OpenStreetMap Tasking Tool is to make it easy for administrators to define
collection areas of interest and collection workflows as well as allowing workers to
easily determine what areas they should be working on.
