  • Openstreetmap: Using, and Contributing To, the Free World Map Pdf
    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.

  • Shared Data Sources in the Geographical Domain— a Classification Schema and Corresponding Visualization Techniques
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Shared Data Sources in the Geographical Domain— A Classification Schema and Corresponding Visualization Techniques Franz-Benjamin Mocnik * , Christina Ludwig , A. Yair Grinberger , Clemens Jacobs, Carolin Klonner and Martin Raifer Institute of Geography, Heidelberg University, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany; [email protected] (C.L.); [email protected] (A.Y.G.); [email protected] (C.J.); [email protected] (C.K.); [email protected] (M.R.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 12 March 2019; Accepted: 15 May 2019; Published: 27 May 2019 Abstract: People share data in different ways. Many of them contribute on a voluntary basis, while others are unaware of their contribution. They have differing intentions, collaborate in different ways, and they contribute data about differing aspects. Shared Data Sources have been explored individually in the literature, in particular OpenStreetMap and Twitter, and some types of Shared Data Sources have widely been studied, such as Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), Ambient Geographic Information (AGI), and Public Participation Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS). A thorough and systematic discussion of Shared Data Sources in their entirety is, however, still missing. For the purpose of establishing such a discussion, we introduce in this article a schema consisting of a number of dimensions for characterizing socially produced, maintained, and used ‘Shared Data Sources,’ as well as corresponding visualization techniques. Both the schema and the visualization techniques allow for a common characterization in order to set individual data sources into context and to identify clusters of Shared Data Sources with common characteristics.

  • View and Facilitates the Results’ Reproducibility
    Mocnik et al. Open Geospatial Data, Software and Standards (2018) 3:7 Open Geospatial Data, https://doi.org/10.1186/s40965-018-0047-6 Software and Standards SOFTWARE Open Access Open source data mining infrastructure for exploring and analysing OpenStreetMap Franz-Benjamin Mocnik* , Amin Mobasheri and Alexander Zipf Abstract OpenStreetMap and other Volunteered Geographic Information datasets have been explored in the last years, with the aim of understanding how their meaning is rendered, of assessing their quality, and of understanding the community-driven process that creates and maintains the data. Research mostly focuses either on the data themselves while ignoring the social processes behind, or solely discusses the community-driven process without making sense of the data at a larger scale. A holistic understanding that takes these and other aspects into account is, however, seldom gained. This article describes a server infrastructure to collect and process data about different aspects of OpenStreetMap. The resulting data are offered publicly in a common container format, which fosters the simultaneous examination of different aspects with the aim of gaining a more holistic view and facilitates the results’ reproducibility. As an example of such uses, we discuss the project OSMvis. This project offers a number of visualizations, which use the datasets produced by the server infrastructure to explore and visually analyse different aspects of OpenStreetMap. While the server infrastructure can serve as a blueprint for similar endeavours, the created datasets are of interest themselves too. Keywords: Infrastructure, Data repository, Volunteered geographic information (VGI), OpenStreetMap (OSM), Information visualization, Visual analysis, Data quality Introduction and background sport sites, and shops; and many more information.

    P-129 BIS CARTOGRAPHIE COLLABORATIVE AVEC OPENSTREETMAP MUSQUET G.(1), LAFFRAY É.(2) (1) OpenSource Géospatial Francophone, PARIS 12EME, FRANCE ; (2) OpenStreetMap Foundation, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM OBJECTIFS ET CONTEXTE Longtemps réservée aux initiés, la cartographie est maintenant accessible au grand public via des sites web tels que Google Maps, Mappy, Bing Maps et des logiciels tels que Google Earth. Comme lors de l'avènement du Web, ces applications sont unidirectionnelles. Les utilisateurs sont principalement des consommateurs de données mises en lignes par des opérateurs. Bien qu'il soit possible de créer des applications composites associant les contenus de sources différentes, il n'est guère possible d'y apporter la moindre modification. Toutefois, certains producteurs prennent le virage du Web collaboratif en permettant aux utilisateurs d'interagir avec les données de leur base (Google Map Maker) et de les modifier. Cependant, ces modifications restent la propriété du site et cela restreint la reproduction de ces données et leur réutilisation par des applications innovantes et libres. Ce sont ces restrictions qui ont favorisé la création en 2004 d'OpenStreetMap avec pour but de fournir des données géographiques libres. APPROCHE ET MÉTHODES OpenStreetMap est une base de données géographiques collaborative sous licence Creative Commons 2.0 (CC-BY-SA) et en partie OdbL 1.0. Le choix de ces licences signifie que les données produites peuvent être copiées, modifiées, revendues, à condition d'en indiquer la provenance, de ne pas restreindre les droits des utilisateurs finaux, ainsi que de récupérer toutes modifications faites sur la base. A l'origine, Steve Coast et quelques amis souhaitaient s'affranchir des restrictions imposées par l'Ordnance Survey sur les données géographiques au Royaume-Uni.

  • Hydro International: Openseamap
    OpenSeaMap – the Free Nautical Chart The biggest worldwide geodatabase, made by the crowd Nautical charts are expensive, and in many countries data are not always up to date. OpenSeaMap is an alternative solution which is free for anybody to use worldwide. Following the example of Wikipedia, the data are collected by volunteers and are visible on the chart within just a few minutes. OpenSeaMap involves experienced mariners, programmers and thousands of data collectors, all of whom are working to produce a nautical chart with comprehensive, relevant and up-to-date data for water sports which is open to everyone and free of charge.

  • OSINT Handbook September 2020
    OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 Aleksandra Bielska Noa Rebecca Kurz, Yves Baumgartner, Vytenis Benetis 2 Foreword I am delighted to share with you the 2020 edition of the OSINT Tools and Resources Handbook. Once again, the Handbook has been revised and updated to reflect the evolution of this discipline, and the many strategic, operational and technical challenges OSINT practitioners have to grapple with. Given the speed of change on the web, some might question the wisdom of pulling together such a resource. What’s wrong with the Top 10 tools, or the Top 100? There are only so many resources one can bookmark after all. Such arguments are not without merit. My fear, however, is that they are also shortsighted. I offer four reasons why. To begin, a shortlist betrays the widening spectrum of OSINT practice. Whereas OSINT was once the preserve of analysts working in national security, it now embraces a growing class of professionals in fields as diverse as journalism, cybersecurity, investment research, crisis management and human rights. A limited toolkit can never satisfy all of these constituencies. Second, a good OSINT practitioner is someone who is comfortable working with different tools, sources and collection strategies. The temptation toward narrow specialisation in OSINT is one that has to be resisted. Why? Because no research task is ever as tidy as the customer’s requirements are likely to suggest. Third, is the inevitable realisation that good tool awareness is equivalent to good source awareness. Indeed, the right tool can determine whether you harvest the right information.
