Geospatial Anarchy: Managing datasets the Open Source way

Geospatial Anarchy: Managing datasets the Open Source way

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is the largest and best-known example of geospatial data creation using Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI). A large group of non-specialists joins their efforts online to create an open, worldwide map of the world. The project differs from traditional management of geospati...

A large group of non-specialists joins their efforts online to create an open, worldwide map of the world. The project differs from traditional management of geospatial data on several accounts: both the underlying technology (Open Source components) and the mindset (schema-less structures using tags and changesets). We review how traditional organizations are currently using the OSM technology to meet their needs and how the mindset of OSM could be employed to traditional management of spatial datasets as well.https://journals.aau.dk/index.php/gfp/article/view/1604Volunteered Geographic InformationOpenStreetMapdata management
