Re: [OSM-talk] OSM for government (joost schouppe)

Hi Joost, everyone,

You might have seen this already (http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1433169/)  -
it's a little old now but it is a 2014 report I was involved in on
Crowdsourcing Geographic Information Use in Government and there are lots
of OSM related examples (some of which have been mentioned).

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM for government (joost schouppe)

We have something similar in Ottawa, three bits of Government, Gatineau,
Ottawa and a federal body called the NCC.  Each have their own maps that
overlap of their paths for cyclists.  OSM is more complete than anything
but all three do have Open Data with I understand designated cycle paths.
They are difficult to map as many are not signed specifically for cyclists.

I cannot contribute cases where such a collaboration actually happened, but
two very practical examples where it would be extremely useful.

Both regard bicycle aspects of OSM.

In my part of the world (Italy) the regional administration has no
region-wide data on
- cycling infrastructure (bicycle paths and lanes)
- signposted touristic bicycle routes

OpenStreetMap has much of this data already, it's not complete and it's not
always up-to-date, but it is far better than what the regional
administration has. I am trying to push this as a joint project of bicycle
associations and OSM individuals.
