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.
