Background
-
OpenStreetMap Capability Prototype
- Create our own version of the OSM software stack not available to the public
- We are looking at limited partnerships to test collaboration using the OSM software stack
- Use USGS Best Practices Model for Transportation
- Apply standards so that edits will be consistent between agencies
- Collaboratively edit roads using the OSM software stack.
-
OpenStreetMap
- OpenStreetMap is a free editable map of the whole world. It is made by volunteers.
- OpenStreetMap allows you to view, edit and use geographical data in a collaborative way from anywhere on Earth.
- We are leveraging the OSM idea and technology, not duplicating it

-
Rapid prototyping
- Add more standards
- Work on dif detection and exchange with FME
- Add additional agencies if OSMCP works
- Add additional themes if OSMCP works
