+# Basemap
+
+Apache Baremaps comes with a [default schema and style](https://baremaps.apache.org/documentation/basemap/) similar to [OpenStreetMap Carto](https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto).
+
+We chose the [Apache License](https://github.com/apache/incubator-baremaps/blob/main/LICENSE) so that map vendors can create derived work without attributing the Apache Baremaps project on the map.
+The only requirement is to give proper credit to the wonderful contributors behind the data sources, such as [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/) or [Natural Earth](https://www.naturalearthdata.com/).
+Notice that this schema and style are now used by default to display vector maps on the [OpenStreetMap wiki](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Template:Vector_map).
+
+While the quality of the schema and style keeps improving, contributions, improvements, and feedback are welcome and encouraged.
+
+import Map from '@/components/map';
+
+
+
+
+
+## Build the basemap
+
+In order to build the basemap locally, move to the `/basemap` directory and run the following workflow:
+
+```bash
+baremaps workflow execute --file=workflow.js
+```
+
+> Note: If you are using Docker, you need to increase the storage allocated to Docker to at least 20GB.
+
+Depending on your machine and internet connection, the process can take up to 30 minutes.

It is maintained by a community of passionate volunteers in a way which is similar to Wikipedia.
Every week, OpenStreetMap publishes a [full dump](https://planet.openstreetmap.org/) of its data in two flavours: a large XML file of about 90GB and a more compact binary file of about 50GB in the [Protocol Buffer Format](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers) (PBF).

In this normalized data model, a line (or way) is formed by a sequence of points (nodes) referenced by their id.
In order to save denormalized geometries in PostGIS (e.g. linestring, polygon, multi-polygon, etc.), Baremaps creates a cache for nodes, ways and relations.
[LMDB](https://symas.com/lmdb/) is used under the hood to achieve great performance.

# Introduction
-Apache Baremaps is an [open source](https://github.com/apache/incubator-baremaps/blob/main/LICENSE) toolkit and a set of infrastructure components for creating, publishing, and operating online maps. It provides a data pipeline enabling developers to build maps with different data sources. It offers live reload capabilities that allow cartographers to customize the content and the style of a map. It includes an attribution-free map schema and style that stimulates derived work. Finally, it provides services commonly used in online maps, such as location search and IP to location.
-
-Apache Baremaps is inspired by [Osmosis](https://github.com/openstreetmap/osmosis), but it comes with additional features, such as the ability to:
-
-- Process data in parallel with the [Stream API](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/stream/package-summary.html) introduced in Java 8
-- Import data faster with the [COPY API](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/sql-copy.html) of Postgresql
-- Create postgis geometries on the fly with [JTS](https://github.com/locationtech/jts)
-- Create and serve customized [Vector Tiles](https://docs.mapbox.com/vector-tiles/specification/)
-
-On the longer run, the project aims to work with a variety of data sources in order to create highly specialized and customized maps.
