What OpenStreetMap needs
Aerial imagery
● Lots of people from OSM are waiting for one thing : tracing over aerial imagery !
● Identifiable data : roads, landuse, high structures, damaged buildings...
● Rather fast to get vector data from these images
Example : Kyrgyzstan
Field data● People on the ground often needed for specific
data :● Landuse and roads● Street names● Points of interest (health facilities, education,
infrastructures...)
● Formats :● shapefile is the best● other possibilities : kml, gpx, pictures, sketches by
hand...
Licence questions
Aerial imagery
License agreement to allow data tracing for OSM
Two methods : ● Public WMS, available for anyone to use (eg
Haiti)● Private WMS, available on request for people
interested in tracing (eg Kyrgyzstan, Gaza)
Points of interest
● Personal knowledge of the reality● Public domain data
● No licensed data like copyrighted paper maps or Google Maps
● Example : you collect data with a GPS and then share it with OSM
Please ask !
Scenario
You want a map You have a map !
No vector dataavailable
OSM shapefilesavailable
Dataintegration
You shareyour data
OSM createsdata
Conclusion
OSM has dozens of people who waiting for one thing : mapping.
We have a lot of potential data sources.
So please ask, even now, if vector data is needed for an area !
