U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) • French Cadastre • Communal administrative borders Switzerland • Public transport stops Switzerland (DIDOK) Examples of OGD in OSM
roughly 30'000 public transport stops • data is submitted to the BAV by the PT operators • contains location information, UIC id • is used by the SBB, Google, OSM and many others DIDOK List
WRONG Government Data is sometimes ...
Positional errors in original 2010 import ~15% • Roughly 20'000 stops have been “verified” DIDOK Errors
Feedback from the use of OGD in crowd-sourcing projects has the potential to support detecting and removing errors.
Interest • is data quality for the data owner relevant and important? • does the “improver” even want to make his work available (competitive advantage)? • Legal • crowdsourcing projects typically have restrictive and potentially viral licences (CC by-SA, ODbL ..) • OGD licences don't necessarily have terms that require improvements to be made available Barriers
Everybody uses OdbL :-) • OSM allows additional distribution licences • Technical separation of edits (corrections) to imported data • Only use OSM as a hint that data may have to be resurveyed/collected Solutions?
