This document provides information about OpenStreetMap (OSM) in South Tyrol, Italy. It discusses what OSM is, how it works, and key statistics about contributors in the region. The largest contributor, Alexander Roalter, has made over 495,000 edits. A power law distribution is observed, with a small group contributing the majority of data. Common tags used in South Tyrol are identified. Differences between OSM and the government's geodata are shown. Next steps proposed include collaborating with major contributors and companies, improving monitoring tools, and addressing changes to OSM's license.
