OpenStreetMap is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. It allows users to collect and share geographic data and edit maps. The project aims to build a map that is free of errors and restrictions, and that anyone can use and improve. It has grown rapidly since its founding in 2004 and now has a large amount of mapped data across Europe and parts of Africa and Asia. The project hopes to continue expanding worldwide and learning from other collaborative projects like Wikipedia.

61. OSM + WIKIPEDIA

62. HOW DOES OSM DIFFER FROM WIKIPEDIA

63. * contributors comparison, what year is OSM?

64. In the World Perhaps wider potential contributors

65. Ownership

66. OpenXMap

67. debate on tags * happens on list .. but should happen in app

68. * existing sources of data, _potentially_ open * very well funded commercial competitors

69. COOPERATION OF OSM + WIKIPEDIA

70. 1.2 million geotagged wikipedia articles 200K english geotagged articles

71. mediawiki plugin http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/MediaWiki_plugin

72. infrastructure sharing test

73. but that's a lot of new potential contributors

74. WHAT CAN A GROWING OSM LEARN FROM WIKIPEDIA & WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION

75. Our first edit war, Cyprus

76. Disputes

77. Disputes

78. * User uploading derived data

79. * trademark & domains

80. Who can speak for OSM? to govts, companies, etc

81. * MYANMAR, CONFLICT OF INTEREST?

82. LEVELS OF PARTICIPATION, OpenStreetBugs

83. GERMANY-- editing primaries into secondaries. wiki codifications?

84. ** Codification & Growth, Committees?

85. OSM IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD * developing world, free & elicits contributions, open door

86. The Developing World (ala OSM)

87. Betwala Chawl, Mumbai

88. “ we feel that communities can harness the power of new geo-spatial imaging and mapping technologies to strengthen their demands for secure tenure and housing rights open and vibrant public spaces and ecological conservation and sustainable development in the mega-city.”
