  • A Review of Openstreetmap Data Peter Mooney* and Marco Minghini† *Department of Computer Science, Maynooth University, Maynooth, Co
    CHAPTER 3 A Review of OpenStreetMap Data Peter Mooney* and Marco Minghini† *Department of Computer Science, Maynooth University, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland, [email protected] †Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Politecnico di Milano, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32, 20133 Milano, Italy Abstract While there is now a considerable variety of sources of Volunteered Geo- graphic Information (VGI) available, discussion of this domain is often exem- plified by and focused around OpenStreetMap (OSM). In a little over a decade OSM has become the leading example of VGI on the Internet. OSM is not just a crowdsourced spatial database of VGI; rather, it has grown to become a vast ecosystem of data, software systems and applications, tools, and Web-based information stores such as wikis. An increasing number of developers, indus- try actors, researchers and other end users are making use of OSM in their applications. OSM has been shown to compare favourably with other sources of spatial data in terms of data quality. In addition to this, a very large OSM community updates data within OSM on a regular basis. This chapter provides an introduction to and review of OSM and the ecosystem which has grown to support the mission of creating a free, editable map of the whole world. The chapter is especially meant for readers who have no or little knowledge about the range, maturity and complexity of the tools, services, applications and organisations working with OSM data. We provide examples of tools and services to access, edit, visualise and make quality assessments of OSM data. We also provide a number of examples of applications, such as some of those How to cite this book chapter: Mooney, P and Minghini, M.

All views and opinions expressed therein remain the sole responsibility of the author, and do not necessarily represent those of the Faculty. ABSTRACT The emerging paradigm of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) in the geospatial domain is interesting research since the use of this type of information in a wide range of applications domain has grown extensively. It is important to identify the quality and fitness-of-use of VGI because of non- standardized and crowdsourced data collection process as well as the unknown skill and motivation of the contributors. Assessing the VGI quality against external data source is still debatable due to lack of availability of external data or even uncomparable. Hence, this study proposes the intrinsic measure of quality through the notion of credibility.

    FREE OPENSTREETMAP: USING, AND CONTRIBUTING TO, THE FREE WORLD MAP PDF Frederik Ramm,Jochen Topf,Steve Chilton | 386 pages | 01 Oct 2010 | UIT Cambridge | 9781906860110 | English | Cambridge, United Kingdom About OpenStreetMap - OpenStreetMap Wiki If you contribute significantly the Free World Map the OpenStreetMap project you should have a voice in the OpenStreetMap Foundationwhich is supporting the project, and be able to vote for the board members of your choice. There is now an easier and costless way to become an OpenStreetMap Foundation member:. The volunteers of the OSMF Membership Working Group have just implemented the active contributor membership programwhere you can easily apply to become an Associate member of the Foundation and there is no need to pay the membership fee. How does it work? We will automatically grant associate memberships to mappers who request it and who have contributed at least 42 calendar days in the last year days. Not everyone contributes by mapping, and some of the most familiar names in our OpenStreetMap: Using list barely map. Some are very involved, for example, in organizing conferences. Those other forms of contribution should be recognised as well. If you do the Free World Map map at all or less than the 42 days, then we expect you to write a paragraph or two about what you do for OpenStreetMap. The Board will then vote on your application. Just like paid membership, membership under the membership fee waiver programme must be renewed annually. You will get a reminder, and you then can request the renewal, similar to the initial application.

  • 16 Volunteered Geographic Information
    16 Volunteered Geographic Information Serena Coetzee, South Africa 16.1 Introduction In its early days the World Wide Web contained static read-only information. It soon evolved into an interactive platform, known as Web.2.0, where content is added and updated all the time. Blogging, wikis, video sharing and social media are examples of Web.2.0. This type of content is referred to as user-generated content. Volunteered geographic information (VGI) is a special kind of user-generated content. It refers to geographic information collected and shared voluntarily by the general public. Web.2.0 and associated advances in web mapping technologies have greatly enhanced the abilities to collect, share and interact with geographic information online, leading to VGI. Crowdsourcing is the method of accomplishing a task, such as problem solving or the collection of information, by an open call for contributions. Instead of appointing a person or company to collect information, contributions from individuals are integrated in order to accomplish the task. Contributions are typically made online through an interactive website. Figure 16.1 The OpenStreetMap map page. In the subsequent sub-sections, examples of crowdsourcing and volunteered geographic information establishment and growth of OpenStreetMap have been devices, aerial photography, and other free sources.

  • Backsplash Patterns for Your World: a Look at SAS® Openstreetmap (OSM) Tile Servers Barbara B
    MWSUG 2018 - Paper SB-034 Backsplash Patterns for Your World: A Look at SAS® OpenStreetMap (OSM) Tile Servers Barbara B. Okerson, Manteo, NC ABSTRACT Originally limited to SAS Visual Analytics, SAS now provides the ability to create background maps with street and other detail information in SAS/GRAPH® using open source map data from OpenStreetMap (OSM). OSM provides this information using background tile sets available from various tile servers, many available at no cost. This paper provides a step-by-step guide for using the SAS OSM Annotate Generator (the SAS tool that allows use of OSM data in SAS). Examples include the default OpenStreetMap tile server for streets and landmarks, as well as how to use other free tile sets that provide backgrounds ranging from terrain mapping to bicycle path mapping. Dare County, North Carolina is used as the base geographic area for this presentation. INTRODUCTION OpenStreetMap is a source of mapping data built by a community of mappers that contribute and maintain data about roads, trails, cafés, railway stations, and much more, all over the world. OSM is open data and can freely be used for any purpose as long as OpenStreetMap and its contributors are credited. In other words, OSM is a collaborative project to create a free and editable map of the world. It is supported by the OpenStreetMap Foundation, a non-profit registered in England and Wales. The OSM project was started because geographic data is not free in many parts of the world. For example, Google maps data is copyrighted by many organizations and licensed by Google, therefore not free to use without permission.
