shift2010 - 17apr2010 - OpenStreetMap: a free map for our world
My slides for shift, this year's conference theme was "DIY" (do it your). So mapmaking the opensource way surely was appropriate.
An Introduction to OpenStreetMap
This document introduces OpenStreetMap, a free and editable map of the world. It describes how OSM data is collected and mapped through tracing aerial imagery, field notes, problem reports, and social mapping events. The data is represented as nodes, ways, and relations tagged with key-value pairs. OSM has been used for humanitarian mapping projects in Gaza and Haiti following natural disasters. It aims to provide more up-to-date maps than proprietary alternatives through its global network of volunteer mappers.

An introduction to OpenStreetMap (HUMBUG)
This document introduces OpenStreetMap (OSM), a free editable map of the world. OSM data is collected through contributions from mappers and is more frequently updated than proprietary map providers. It can be used for various activities beyond just driving like hiking and boating. The data is openly licensed and raw GPS traces can also be accessed. Many organizations have used OSM for humanitarian mapping projects in places like Gaza, Kenya, and Haiti after natural disasters. Individuals can contribute by tracing aerial imagery, recording locations, or attending mapping parties. Data is represented as nodes, ways, and relations which can be tagged with custom keys and values.

Openstreetmap is a collaborative project to create a free and open map of the world. Users can edit the map data wiki-style to add and update geographical vector data like points, lines, polygons and their attributes. It aims to create a map with fast updates that can be customized for any purpose since the data is open and free for anyone to use and improve. Participation comes from citizens, companies and organizations around the world who contribute locations, roads and other map features.
An introduction to OpenStreetMap for bushwalkers
The document introduces OpenStreetMap (OSM) as a free, editable map of geographic data that is useful for activities like hiking and bushwalking. It notes that OSM can be updated more rapidly than proprietary maps, contains data that is freely available and editable worldwide, and has been used successfully for humanitarian relief efforts. The document encourages bushwalkers to record hiking trails and other geographic details to contribute to improving OSM maps.
OpenStreetMap integration into Wikimedia projects
This document provides a progress report on integrating OpenStreetMap data into Wikimedia projects. It discusses how OpenStreetMap has a global community and freely licensed vector map data, unlike proprietary mapping services. It outlines the current architecture which mirrors OSM data into a Wikimedia database and renders maps using Mapnik. A MediaWiki extension allows displaying maps. Future goals include improving multilingual support and adding more rendering styles. The report encourages helping with development, testing, and identifying additional integration opportunities.

Presentation to Open GLAM México, 6 September 2018, Mexico City. This event linked numerous institutions to encourage dialogue around the Open GLAM movement and was jointly organised by the Ministry of Culture, the National Institute of Fine Arts, the Cultural Center of Spain in Mexico and Wikimedia México.
The aims of Open GLAM México were:
• Socialise good practices and policies generated by GLAM institutions to distribute data and digital objects, in national and international context.
• Promote the opening of digital collections in public and private institutions in Mexico.
• Establish an open dialogue on copyright issues focused on the use, reuse and appropriation of digital collections of cultural heritage.
Europeana Newspapers in a Nutshell
The Europeana Newspapers project digitized over 1,000 newspaper titles containing 3.3 million issues from 12 European libraries in 40 languages from 1618-2016. The newspapers were run through optical character recognition to make 12 million pages searchable by keyword. Metadata and scans were made public domain and searchable through the TEL Historic Newspaper Browser, which allows browsing by newspaper, date, and other facets. Researchers have used the collection for various studies and it will relaunch in 2018 with improved search and an interface directly on Europeana, supporting further annotation and transcription of the newspapers.
Digital Exposure of English Place-Names (DEEP) -Stuart Dunn
This document discusses the Digital Exposure of English Place-Names project. It notes that the project has digitized over 80 years of scholarship on English place-names, including 32 counties, 86 volumes, over 6 million place-name forms, and thousands of bibliographic references. It explains that place-names are dynamic, attested, contested, and documented entities that require crowd-sourcing to correct errors, validate data, add missing geographic information, and enrich point data with additional details. The document also announces a new scoping study to research crowd-sourcing models for enriching humanities data.

The Outcome Economy
1) The document discusses the opportunity for technology to improve organizational efficiency and transition economies into a "smart and clean world."
2) It argues that aggregate efficiency has stalled at around 22% for 30 years due to limitations of the Second Industrial Revolution, but that digitizing transport, energy, and communication through technologies like blockchain can help manage resources and increase efficiency.
3) Technologies like precision agriculture, cloud computing, robotics, and autonomous vehicles may allow for "dematerialization" and do more with fewer physical resources through effects like reduced waste and need for transportation/logistics infrastructure.

Analysis has shown the positional accuracy of OpenStreetMap data is around 6 meters where there is significant contributor activity and quality assurance.
Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team [H.O.T.] Training for SBTF
OpenStreetMap is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. It began in 2004 and now has over 1 million users who have collected over 1.8 billion geographic points and 170 million roads through GPS, aerial imagery, and other sources. The OpenStreetMap Foundation and Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team support the growth of OSM for humanitarian and development contexts. Users can contribute geographic data by tracing imagery, surveying with GPS, or importing public domain data. The data is represented as nodes, ways, and relations which can be tagged and mapped on various online and mobile applications. Studies have found OSM data to be as accurate as commercial datasets where there is significant community mapping activity.
Lessons Learned from CityOpenSource
This document discusses lessons learned from using the Django framework in the CityOS open data platform. It summarizes that CityOS aims to enable crowd mapping of transitory information and communities around open data practices. The platform originated from a project in Naples to map street art that was later restarted using Django, AWS, and modern technologies with a goal of a meta-level approach. Django was chosen for its geographic features like GeoDjango but caching, optimizations, and real-time updates presented challenges. Additional issues involved customizing map markers, choosing base maps, and geocoding street addresses from various APIs. The document stresses that rushing geographic systems is bad, geographic data problems are often in the data itself, and keeping GIS simple

Open Data on the Open Platform
In this talk, I will introduce the future technical and social impact of open data on the open platform. Nowadays, web technology, whose process of standardization is open and independent of vendors, has evolved into an application platform on various devices such as PC, mobile and embedded devices. Developers of web-standards and web-based application are now trying to integrate a map technology tightly into the web standards for the future mobile web-based applications. As an organizer of a workshop aiming to discuss the future web-based map technology, I will introduce emerging technology and discussion in this area. At the workshop I held in Tokyo, Japan in 2012, many developers and researchers in various communities such as OpenStreetMap, FOSS4G, HTML5, and Linked OpenData gathered and had an enthusiastic discussion. I will summarize the discussion and future perspective at the workshop in my talk in order to discuss future technical and social possibility of OpenStreetMap on web-based open platform.

OSM for Wikimedians
- 2. We’re pretty similar • Founded in 2004 • OpenStreetMap Foundation, non-profit UK limited company started in 2006 • Freely-licensed geospatial data contributed by a community of volunteers • It’s also enormously addictive
- 3. Contributing • Get user account • Collect traces with a GPS device with GPX export. • Other formats than GPX can be converted using GPSBabel
- 4. Town and city • There’s lots that needs doing, but it’s mostly maintenance of existing content (like WP!) • To find things to do, go to the OSM wiki: wiki.openstreetmap.org and type in city – e.g. London. • Metadata improvements, pubs, churches, public toilets, schools, bus stops etc.
- 5. In the countryside: loads to do!
- 7. • Get GPS trace off device • Login • Upload • Wait patiently... • Edit map • Trace • Save • Repeat until barnstar ;-)
- 8. Why? • OSM now used in Wikipedia apps • Can be reused within Wikimedia projects? • Imagine: Wikiversity? Wikispecies? • Can be used as part of GLAM/ partnership work • Fits within our mission!
- 9. OpenCycleMap OpenPisteMap
