Strive for progress

Not perfection.

Is the NEW gold

If Open Data

Is a goldmine.

Then OpenStreetMap data

Over 554(*) Gigabyte (GB) = 594 852 970 500 Bytes

How much gold exactly?

* Growing every second

“The sum of the personal interest of all”

Mining it means

Getting your hands dirty

Openstreetmap data

Works like a swiss knife

API• OverPass• Nominatim• Routing engines

Buildings blocks• Tile servers ( renderd, tirex, tileman, mapnik )• Foreign API's ( Open / Private , webservices )• Libraries ( LeafLet , OpenLayers )

Unfold the right tool to leverage

PowertoolsGis software (QGIS)•Editors ( JOSM )•PosgreSQL / spatial enabled DB's•

Be the Chef

Not the receipe.

Visualize OSM derived data

Differently

Events @ location

On a timemap

Cook up OSM with

Realtime traffic data

Visualize # shops

As data statistics.

Slice

… like a masterchef.

Fire hydrants.

Emphasize specifics

Railway.

Imagination is the

Highest form of research.

OSM data as scenery

In a Flight simulator

Need a bathroom break?

Can't hold it no more?

Find the nearest exit!

There is more

Under the hood

We have data suitable for

Software parsing.

Coordinates are nice digits

But they don't tell us much

Translate to coordinate...

… and reverse: geocoding.

The raw data is like LEGO

You can never overplay it.

“When you open up the data, there’s no limit to what people can do. It engages the imagination of

citizens in building the city.”

-David Miller, Mayor of Toronto.Toronto 2.0: Data Sharing SourceThe Globe and Mail, 09-01-31

Open systems can make heroes.

Not just scapegoats.

Open Systems Create New Markets.

INTELLIGENCE + IMAGINATION

Mobile is the new brain

To build your imagination

You need (skilled) people

To create solutions

That serve people

With OSM data is the future

Combining external input

What you can do now.

We want YOU to contribute

Analyse ...

And identify grey spots.

Use data to improve itself.

Gardening OSM

We want you to USE it

Consume ( build stuff )• Commercial (for Startups, as alternative, supporting role )• Academic ( research, statistics, educational )• Government ( improving GIS services, promote OD use )

Care (give a stuff)• Promote use :

Government

•

Try / Use it!

Contribute (donate stuff)• Map / Validate•

People

Businesses

•

•

• Allow & Suggest, encourage usage

Garden• Invest ( resources, money, time )

Dare to experiment (mock it up!)•

• Legislative • Cultural

• Too much data • Real time vs historic • Definitions / references

• Limited skills and over specialisation

Some challenges ahead

• Privacy

Privacy challenges

Data for Mr. Government

Benefits of OpenStreetMap

It’s hard for governments to experiment.

There’s lots of rules.

“No one was ever promoted for disclosing information.”

-US Government Employee.

Open Systems Allow External Contribution.

Open Systems Make Failure Free.* paraphrasing Clay Shirky.
