Presentation Transcript

  1. Geospatial Collaboration: Working together spatially at Internet Scale –Chris Holmes

  2. Internet Scale?

  3. “Architectures of Participation” – Coined by Tim O’Reilly

  4. An “Architecture of Participation” is both social and technical, leveraging the skills and energy of users as much as possible to cooperate in building something bigger than any single person or organization could alone.

  5. Architectures of Participation Software: The first domain to see benefits The process can be applied to other fields

  6. Geospatial?

  7. Collaboration Evolution Open Source Software vs Geospatial

  8. True Believers

  9. Acceleration

  10. Company Involvement

  11. Explosion

  12. Maturity

  13. Geospatial Collaboration Status On the verge of explosion

  14. Geospatial Data Creation Sharing

  15. Sharing Layers

  16. Geo Data Creation: OpenStreetMap MapShare™

  17. Current Issues in Geospatial Collaboration The ‘gotchas’

  18. Current Issues: Licensing? ODbL vs

  19. Current Issues: The ‘open’ seduction vs http://brainoff.com for more info

  20. Current Issues: Community monoculture ? or vs

  21. Current Issues: Raster Collaboration ? ? ? vs ? ?

  22. Current Issues: Tool Bifurcation VS vs Potlatch

  23. The Future Steps towards Geospatial Collaboration Maturity

  24. Towards Maturity: Licensing • Flesh out a range of licenses for geospatial data • From MIT style to GPL style • Form a foundation to promote, educate and market • Could be pushing/funding Open Data Commons • Establish more norms around the licensing edge cases

  25. Towards Maturity: Workflow vs

  26. Towards Maturity: Scope vs

  27. Towards Maturity: OpenAerialMap! vs

  28. Towards Maturity: Geospatial Patch • Format that encapsulates an ‘edit’ on any system that can be reviewed by a human • Interoperable between different editing systems • OSM, MapMaker, OpenGeo, ESRI • Easy visualizations and conflict resolution vs

  29. Towards Maturity: Collaboration Hubs • Logical extension of GeoCommons, ArcGIS.com, GeoNode, WorldMap • But interoperable with one another • But not just styling, but also handle editing and versioned editing • Community tools like issue trackers, mailing lists, etc. • Github/sourceforge for geospatial vs

  30. Towards Maturity: Tools Editing tools that are accessible and also good enough for experts Advanced workflow management Sandboxes, approval before acceptance Automatic validation (topology, required fields) Branches and merging with Conflict Resolution Automatic change notification email / rss Integrated metadata, automatic tracking of all inputs and outputs

  31. Hosted Services Geocoding, Route finding, Custom Tiles Guarantee of accuracy / indemnity Enable private collaboration around additional layers, like github (open is free, private is paid) Value add packaging - formats, documentation, software Subscription to latest updates On demand custom gathering of data, but in to an open collaborative map Towards Maturity: Open Geospatial Business Models

  32. Towards Maturity: Government role Step back from collecting all data Encourage citizens and agency collaboration around common base maps Perform Quality Assurance and gathering of data where there is none Provide stamp of ‘authoritative’ data that can be trusted

  33. Towards Maturity: Cooperation Align efforts so that amateur, commercial, NGO and governmental creators all naturally collaborate Figure out workflows, tools and licenses that work for everyone Interoperability between various efforts, though diverse communities make a healthy ecosystem Towards living data, constantly evolving - authoritative and always up to date

  34. My Geospatial Collaboration Goal Let’s build a Geospatial Web that’s so compelling and easy-to-use that everyone: Citizens, Governments, NGO’s and Companies all naturally collaborate towards the same infrastructure for public good.
