3. Wikimedia Ecosystem
The Wikimedia movement is the totality of people, activities and values which revolve around
Wikimedia sites and projects:
• a collection of values shared by individuals (freedom of speech, knowledge for everyone,
community sharing etc.);
• a collection of activities (conferences, workshops, wikiacademies etc.);
• a collection of organizations (Wikimedia Foundation, Wikimedia chapters etc.), as well as some
free electrons (individuals without chapters) and similar-minded organizations.

4. OpenStreetMap: an initiative affiliated to Wikimedia Found.
OpenStreetMap is an initiative to create and provide free geographic data, such as street maps, to
anyone. The OpenStreetMap Foundation is an international not-for-profit organization supporting, but
not controlling, the OpenStreetMap Project. It is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development
and distribution of free geospatial data and to providing geospatial data for anyone to use and share.

5. OpenStreetMap: a Geodatabase
OpenStreetMap is a Geodatabase, which we can visualize and operate in form of map, through a
simple website or specific APIs (Josm, Turbopass, etc.)
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/41.6501/-4.7327

6. OpenStreetMap: Services and APIs.
http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/it/map/mappatura-degli-spazi-commerciali-sfitti_136956#15/45.6941/9.6832
Different web services, Apis and APPs use this information with specific purposes

Working on OSM
geodatabase

14. Reference:
http://learnosm.org/en/

15. 3 approaches to the geodatabase
• Data user (a)
• Data creator/mapper (b)
• Data gardener (c)

16. a. Data user: export
Downloading information: Maps or data?

17. b. Interacting with data: new information
Sign up

18. b. Interacting with data: new information
Adding elements on the database

19. b. Mapping activities
The physical characteristics of the territory (called "features") are represented using labels (called
"tags“ o “etiquetas”) assigned to the geometric elements consisting of nodes ("nodes"), paths ("way"
using to represent polyline-polygons ) and relationships ("relation" using to represent logical or
geographical relationships between the elements).
How can it be used to mapping the territorial elements?
- node: used to mapping punctual elements
- way: used to mapping buildings, elements with a physical presence
- relation: used to define the logical relationship between building parts or objects.

20. b. Mapping activities
Adding a “Point”

21. b. Tags
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ES:Tag:shop%3Dbutcher
Once defined the spatial presence of the element, we must add specific characters, working with
“Tags”. In this field we have a useful support with “wiki”. (NB. El tema del Idioma!!!)
