This document discusses the benefits of opening up geographic data to fuel innovation. It notes that while maps are useful, the underlying data is even more valuable for tasks like routing, themed cartography, and addressing global issues. However, the data has traditionally been restricted by specialist industry and academia. The document argues that opening the data and using web standards and crowdsourcing allows more people to work with it and develop creative solutions.

OpenStreetMap and CycleStreets: collaborative map-making and cartography in t...CycleStreets
Abstract: The arrival of web-based mapping from Google and others has revolutionised, in the space of only five years, the way many people interact with maps and map data. And the success of projects such as Wikipedia highlight how collation of small amounts of information from large numbers of people - an approach called 'crowdsourcing' - can challenge traditional models of data collection and ownership. Bringing these concepts together is OpenStreetMap, a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Well-established enterprises such as the Ordnance Survey are coming under increased pressure from this new model, and large companies such as MapQuest and Microsoft are starting to use and invest in it. Martin Lucas-Smith, Webmaster in the Department, and one of two main developers of the leading UK-wide cycle journey planner website, CycleStreets, will discuss OpenStreetMap, its use within a wide range of systems (from cartography, routing, and even its central role helping deal with the Haiti disaster) and discuss the challenges it poses to traditional forms of cartography and data collection.
over the past years the geospatial technology providers have enabled sharing and integration of geospatial information. Now it's time to shift focus from building the infrastructure to using the content shared through the infrastructure.
Managing Spatial Information and Services with Drupal: the GEO-MOOD approachTwinbit

WORLDMAP: A SPATIAL INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT TEACHING AND RESEARCH (BROWN BA...Micah Altman
The WorldMap platform http://worldmap.harvard.edu is the largest open source collaborative mapping system in the world, with over 13,000 map layers contributed by thousands of users from Harvard and around the world. Researchers may upload large spatial datasets to the system, create data-driven visualizations, edit data, and control access. Users may keep their data private, share it in groups, or publish to the world.
The user base is interdisciplinary, including scholars from the humanities, social sciences, sciences, public health, design, planning, etc. All are able to access, view, and use one another’s data, either online, via map services, or by downloading.
Current work is underway to create and maintain a global registry of map services and take us a step closer to one-stop-access for public geospatial data. Another project is working on tools to support the visualization of spatial datasets with over a billion features. Current collaborations are underway with groups inside Harvard, such as Dataverse, HarvardX, and various departments, and with groups outside Harvard, such as Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania. Major additional contributors to the underlying source code include the WorldBank, the U.S. State Department, and the United Nations.
The source code for the WorldMap platform is available on GitHub https://github.com/cga-harvard/cga-worldmap.
Location: E25-202
Discussant: Ben Lewis is system architect and project manager for WorldMap, an open source infrastructure that supports collaborative research centered on geospatial information. Before joining Harvard, Ben was a project manager with Advanced Technology Solutions of Pennsylvania, where he led the company in adopting platform independent approaches to GIS system development. Ben studied Chinese at the University of Wisconsin and has a Masters in Planning from the University of Pennsylvania. After Penn, Ben helped start the GIS Lab at U.C. Berkeley, founded the GIS group for transportation engineering firm McCormick Taylor, and coordinated the Land Acquisition Mapping System for South Florida Water Management District. Ben is especially interested in technologies that lower the barrier to spatial technology access.
Information Science Brown Bag talks, hosted by the Program on Information Science, consists of regular discussions and brainstorming sessions on all aspects of information science and uses of information science and technology to assess and solve institutional, social and research problems. These are informal talks. Discussions are often inspired by real-world problems being faced by the lead discussant.

The provision of spatial support, especially mapping, during major emergencies has often put enormous pressure on the day to day functionality of various government departments. Examples include the Canberra fires where this support was contracted in and in the Victorian fires of 2003-4 where the Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) called in federal support for mapping and spent many months recovering and catching up on the backlog due to lost work time. The Mapping and Planning Support (MAPS) group was created and its model developed to help alleviate these situations. MAPS was deployed to the recent Victorian fires and have now proven that the model works. This presentation will explain the history and reasoning behind MAPS, the organisational and deployment model, and where we believe the model should go from here.
