State of the Map Asia (SotM-Asia) is the annual regional conference of OpenStreetMap (OSM) organized by OSM communities in Asia. First SotM-Asia was organized in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2015, and the second was organized in Manila, Philippines in 2016. This year’s conference, third in the series, was organized in Kathmandu, Nepal on September 23 – 24, 2017 at Park Village Resort, Budhanilkantha, Kathmandu, Nepal. We brought nearly 200 Open Mapping enthusiasts from Asia and beyond to this year’s SotM-Asia. The event provided an opportunity to share knowledge and experience among mappers; expand their network; and generate ideas to expand map coverage and effective use of OSM data in Asian continent. We chose ‘from creation to use of OSM data’ as the theme of this year’s conference, emphasizing on the effective use of OSM data. We also brought together a government panel from four different countries in this year’s SotM-Asia. We believe this event will deepen the bond and enhance collaboration among OSM communities across Asia. More information about the conference can be found on: http://stateofthemap.asia.

Current Gaps and KGIS Needs
● Lack of integrated data between various departments
● Lack of spatial data availability in various dept
● Few Dept only have their own GIS teams
● Lack of expertise of GIS specialists and analysts
● DSS based on spatial data and trends is the requirement
● Existing Spatial Data - not in common coordinate reference frame
● Lack of GIS Applications and DSS for operational needs
● Non clarity in data sharing policy between dept and public

8. © KSRSAC – KGIS SOTM – Asia 2017
A flagship Project of GoK, to Institutionalize the use of Geospatial in the
Governance
Karnataka GIS (K-GIS)
Objectives
● To establish the state needs for robust information and GIS based
decision support systems and also focus to ensure continued
availability of GIS ready data assets and applications.
● To bring all the GIS data available in various departments under one
single seamless spatial framework.
● To help the departmental users with GIS data and advanced tools for
GIS analysis through simpler web and mobile interfaces system with an
executive dashboard and other business workflows

Discussion – Views and Thoughts
Policy Consideration
• Many data generation
agencies
• Different types of datas –
thematic, small / Large
Scale
• Ownership –of data
Duplication and authenticity
• Accuracy - CORS Network
• HR resolution data for whom
and why
• Public money – public data –
share it – Open data is not
necessary to be a free data
• Security concerns / Privacy
• Expose the availability of
data - metadata
• Correctness and validation
• Standards & interoperability
• Data Sharing Policy
• Data Updation Policy
Requirements for OSM to be
used
• OSM as institution should get
engaged with Govt – not as
freelance individuals.
• Create data in government
portals
• OSM data to be available and
updated in the government
portals
• The published data from
government portals can be
used in OSM portals
• Validate the data through
authoritative agencies
• Involve Departments to be part
of Mapping activity.
Way Forward
Should work towards developing open Map Solutions
Develop business models – free data – paid service for unique solution -
Collaboration with Agencies having copyright information
Let’s Discuss…..THANK YOU
How OSM can be useful
• As a Planning and Decision
support tool for governance
• Apart from mapping the
features and assets, themes
should be generated
• Citizen specific requirements
• Let OSM Community
develop solution and provide
services
• Crowd sourcing data within
govt depts is already being
valued.
• Govt can provide incentives
