Canada's national mapping agency.  Initially, they clarified their
license, allowing and encouraging OSM to include their data in OSM.
Then they hosted local mapping parties and some staffers became
mappers.  Then they started publishing updates to their data in OSM
format.  Then they started analysing the differences between their
data and ours, to schedule areas for their re-surveys.

Full Of Awesome.

Cycling Scotland which is funded by the Scottish Government have funded a guide 
to be written to help people add cycling data to OSM:
http://www.cyclestreets.net/blog/2012/03/27/community-mapping-guide/
Some organisations have bought branded versions of CycleStreets for their 
website, so that they have have cycle routing using OSM directly in their web 
site:

Re: [OSM-talk] Specific Cases of Governments Using OSM

2012-08-30 Thread Maurizio Napolitano
Hello,
these days I have given to a little italian public administration the
results of an analysis of the differences between their data and those
of openstreetmap.
This public administration wants to understand if she can create a
dialogue with openstreetmap community.

My analysis was divided into three parts:
- Differences between attributes
- Geometrical differences between the data
- Analysis of the community of the area

By compare the data I found the different point of view
- The public administration requires classify the responsibility for
roads and properties and, therefore, it is often difficult to identify
as an object is seen in openstreetmap
- Geometries are often different or for distance or for number of
nodes with which they are composed. This depends very much on the way
the data are collected. A public a informs the sampling method (eg
digitization from aerial photo 10 km)., In openstreetmap this is not
always reconstructed

In any case the release of the data, so that they are used by the
community, leading equally advantages, since these can then be reused
with the innumerable applications born on OpenStreetMap.
This is not a direct benefit for the PA.

Other aspects emerged (in favor of PA)
- Possibility of using OpenStreetMap as an instrument for signaling
changes in the territory
- Release of aerial photographs with an opin order to take advantage
of the work of intelligence
collective in the digitization of futures

Hi Kate,

I'm one of the interns on the TriMet project and I just had to step in and 
offer a correction: ride.trimet.org is *not* the trip planner that uses OSM--- 
the one that does is our new Regional Trip Planner (still in beta, but soon out 
of it, we hope) at http://rtp.trimet.org.

Some government folks in Chattanooga, TN are also working on setting up a trip 
planner with the same system (OpenTripPlanner) and OSM-- I'm not sure what 
their progress is right now (I do think some of them are on this list, though). 
You might want to check out http://openchattanooga.wikispaces.com/Routr for 
some info.

Thanks, and good luck!

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:OSM_Internet_Links

has a "Behörden / Kommunen" section with many examples of, mostly
German, government institutions using OSM. Most of these are slippy map
backgrounds of sites visualising POI or other data for citizens, some
are road maps for villages, layers in GIS systems or even just static
maps for directions.

[OSM-talk] Specific Cases of Governments Using OSM

2012-06-15 Thread Kate Chapman
Hi All,

I'm giving a presentation in a couple weeks about OpenStreetMap and
how governments can interact with OSM.

I'm looking for examples of governments using OSM data, versus
releasing data for OSM to use.

I already know about TriMet in Portland, OR for example: http://ride.trimet.org/
There is also my work with HOT in Indonesia for mapping exposure for
impact models.

What other examples are out there?

Thanks,

-Kate
