Introducing

the Haitian field work of the

Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT)

What is openstreetmap? The openstreetmap “one-liner”

A web project to create a free and open map of

the entire world, built entirely from volunteers

surveying with GPS, digitizing aerial imagery,

and collecting and liberating existing public

sources of geographic data.

free and open voluntary map of the world. open contribution. open use.Voluntary, open contributions, open use (CC-SA)

OSM core – system components.

OSM data in SHP & GPS map extracts (Garmin) available day 1; WFS day 2

OSM GPS map extracts used by Search And Rescue Teams – day 1

OSM = roads core data set (OCHA Core Data sets check-list).

OSM data used as SHP, WFS, WMS in responders mapping production

environment

26 hours to get imagery released and 48 hours to get 1st imagery loaded on

the OSM platform available for tracing

Tracing over Satellite imagery.Free, Purchased, Negotiated

Right to access & use raw imagery for deriving data within OSM obtained

though crisis mapping list.

Raw imagery processed into tiles to be made available in OSM editors

(potlatch, merkator & josm)

Thousands traced over base map features, humanitairan features (camps) &

also damages

OSM editors JOSM and Potlach

JOSM and Potlach are the two

main editors used for creating

and modifying OSM data.

Potlach is a simple web

interface, accessible to users

on the OpenStreetMap website.

JOSM is a more advanced tool,

is a Java application so doesn't

require consistent internet

access and can run on any

operating system.

Database import: Public domain or CC-SA.

Haiti: Base map layers (MINUSTAH/ CNIGS), Health Facility (WHO),

Haiti damage assessment: ITHACA & UNOSAT vectors…

Direct measurements: GPS surveys

Combined, GPS and Walking Papers

can be used for rapid surveying and

ground truthing.

Walking Papers allow users to print out

small sections of the OSM map. In the

field, these paper maps can be used to

draw new features, annotate existing

data, and take notes that will help with

the import of GPS data.

Icons in each of the corners and a

unique code for each Walking Paper

let users scan the paper and upload to

OSM so the notes can be viewed in an

editing environment.

Direct measurements: Questionnaires.Based on OSM Humanitarian Data Model (HDM) and

humanitarian data models (Ex UNSDIT)

The Humanitarian Data Model seeks to reconcile schemas from many

humanitarian response agencies, all of which are based on field

requirements.

When possible, it matches Humanitarian attributes to existing Map Features

in OSM to make imports to and exports from OSM to response agencies

more straightforward.

Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) tools will smooth this effort

From the HDM the following will be derived::

* Questionnaires to guide data collection

* JOSM Presets to guide editing

* Cartographic symbols to guide rendering

Humanitarian Data Model (HDM)

OSM/ HOT Haiti Field MissionBackground elements.

Joint OSM-MapAction Mission funded by ECHO, supported by IOM (logistics,

workplace) & CNIGS, OCHA (coordination)

= Goal =

Support the use of OSM on the ground to make sure it stays relevant and

useful into the recovery, reconstruction, development of Haiti.

= Audience =

* groups of UN and international responders,

* the Haitian government,

* Haitian civil society

= Activities =

== Training ==

* Surveying with GPS/Walking Papers

* Editing

* Ensuring an efficient use of OSM resources by the responders

== Surveying ==

== Community mapping project (slum) - feasibility study ==

== Ad hoc support work ==

Humanitarian Data Model and data imports

OSM/ HOT Haiti Field Mission – 21-March/ 10-AprilOutcomes

*Training activities 60 persons trained from main UN Agencies & NGOs, Centre National

D’Information Geomatique et Spatiale (CNIGS) – the Haitian National Mapping

Agency, Development projects (WINNER & DAI) and groups form Haitian civil

society (Forum des communautes de Cite Soleil, INURED),

*Surveying activities: Jacmel, Leogane with IOM & CNIGS staffs seconded to IOM

* Data modeling & data imports

Core Mission- connecting point between humanitarian and open mapping communities

- remote data creation during crisis

- collection and organization of existing data sources

- deployments to the field possible

- distribution point for free data

Advocacy, Training and Outreach- mapping parties

- speaking, writing, meetings in humanitarian and United Nations technical

communities

Thinking and Design- promotion of crowd-sourcing and simple web standards for data sharing

- technical improvements to OSM and OSGeo in response to field requirements

(offline support, verification, format adaptors, multi-master sync..)
