IS&T RCS Tutorial - Introduction to OpenStreetMap (Hands-on)
OpenStreetMap is a name you might have seen at the bottom corner of web maps as a copyright item, or you might have used a GIS tool that uses OpenStreetMap data, but what is OpenStreetMap? This tutorial will provide an overview of OpenStreetMap and show how it is used by companies and organizations for some applications. We will explore the data OpenStreetMap contains, learn how the data is structured, how to contribute information to OpenStreetMap, and what tools are available to access the data. This tutorial will be a mix of demonstrations and hands-on activities.
