First approach to the OpenStreetMap universe

The Webinar

The ICA-OSGeo Lab Network and MundoGEO are now pleased to inform the sixth webinar of the ”Open Geospatial Science & Applications” webinar series on April 28th. The webinar will be open and free to all on first come register basis.

This webinar will be on OpenStreetMap (OSM), a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world.

OpenStreetMap is much more than a set of data. In this webinar, we would like to show a good portion of the possibilities that OSM offers.

The webinar - by Lluís Vicens - doesn't consists of a full inventory of tools and techniques, but is intended to offer a first approach to the OSM universe. We want to put the basis, and to establish a starting point to explore all the possibilities by yourself.

We will see, first of all, what data can we download from OpenStreetMap and how it can be downloaded in a personalized way, employing customizable criteria. In addition to downloading, we'll look at other tools that add value to OSM: editors, importers to databases, geolocation services, image rendering, routing algorithms, etc.
