Over the years, iD has become a quite capable, versatile and reliable editor for OSM. However, it is currently also facing of a number of challenges: For example, it needs to keep being able to cope with the growing amount and richness of OSM’s map data, as well as to afford the increasingly important task of keeping the map up to date.

This talk outlines a proposal to transform iD’s current user interface centered around OSM’s data model into an adaptive user experience that is better tailored towards the needs of individual mappers and outlines an approach of how we can get there as a community.

<hr>

In the past, iD had to and has overcome several challenging hurdles to become what it is today: A quite unique map editor that is the point of entry of most contributors of OpenStreetMap into the world of mapping.

Today, iD is facing of a number of signifiant challenges to make it even more usable to a wide user base, and will continue to do so into the foreseeable future especially in regards to make it fit for the mapping topics of the future. For example, the editor needs to be able to cope with the growing amount and richness of OSM’s map data as well as as the increasingly important task of keeping the map up to date.

The design of iD’s current user interface is substantially based on OSM’s data model. This can be seen for example in the workflow of creating a new map feature: It starts out with a blank “dummy” map geometry which – in a second step – has to be converted into a map feature by choosing a preset. While this is true to the way OSM represents this information in the data (i.e. in the form of nodes, ways and relations which are enriched with tags), this is for most simple use cases an unnecessary complication.

Instead of primarily catering to the needs and requirements arising from the underlying data structures, iD’s usability should be instead built around the needs of of the different groups of mappers. And as these vary quite significantly depending on the interests and/or experience of the individual mappers, a promising approach to bring all of these together is to evolve iD’s user interface into an adaptive mapping experience with the goal to make vital mapping workflows intuitive, easy, fast and delightful.

This transformation will definitely not be a small endeavor and is far from finally defined: in fact this should only be a start of a larger discussion. Let us together flesh out the details of this project.

The botanical collection Arboretum and Palmetum Leon Morales Soto houses 412 species from 64 botanical families, totaling 4892 individuals. The mapping carried out by the SAGEMA chapter of YouthMappers allowed sharing valuable information about Colombian flora with the university community, facilitating its conservation and recognition through the integration of collection data into OSM. The project aims to promote the conservation of threatened tropical ecosystems through open mapping. It involved the participation of 12 students and a training strategy through open workshops to replicate the project in other Latin American regions.

<hr>

The Universidad Nacional de Colombia is one of the most important ecological nuclei and connection points in Medellín and the Aburrá Valley. In its approximately 37 hectares, the university harbors a high diversity of fauna, especially birds, insects, small mammals, and reptiles, which find shelter, food, nesting areas, and a passage point in their biological corridor in the tree cover. Therefore, the conservation of this space is of special importance to the city. The collection stands out for housing various species representative of different Colombian tropical ecosystems, such as the dry forests of the Cauca and Magdalena canyons, the humid forests of Chocó, and the flooded forests of the Amazon, among others, offering students and visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the biodiversity of the extraordinary Colombian tropical forests and ensuring the maintenance of native species.
The &#34;Open Data, Vibrant Ecosystems&#34; project aims to bring the university community closer to the care and appreciation of the flora and fauna present on the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Medellín campus, through the recognition and appropriation of the living collection Arboretum and Palmetum Leon Morales Soto. It is based on open and collaborative mapping to encourage students to interact with the different species of palms, trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants that the collection houses, and aims to go beyond visualization and consultation by inviting them to be active participants in the collection's tree inventory data collection, creation, use, and download through open data and the OpenStreetMap platform.
As a result of the first phase of mapping the project, the collection's inventory was imported into OpenStreetMap, adding around 3000 new data points to the map. The project is developed in 3 phases: Training, Data validation in office and field, Data import to OSM. For the first phase, a work route was established for data import. First, information gaps and technical knowledge needed for the import were identified. Based on this analysis, collaboration was sought with volunteers from the OSM Colombia and OSM Latin America communities who had experience in tree mapping in OSM.
A schedule of five training sessions was established for project members to acquire the knowledge and technical skills necessary for mapping the collection. As part of the project's dissemination and replicability strategy, it was decided to open the talks to the general public and especially invite the OSM Colombia and YouthMappers Latin America community to the training cycle. Five (5) training sessions were held in February and March 2024. The attendance range per talk was between 14 and 30 people, including students, educators, researchers, and institutions from 5 countries in Latin America (Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Nicaragua, Chile).
The training process covered topics such as data cleaning, mapping project documentation strategies, data import models with QGIS, urban trees and green areas in the OSM ecosystem, and open data licensing. To ensure the project's replicability, a YouTube channel was created with recordings of all the training sessions. A wiki was created documenting the data cleaning process, selected tags, the validation phase, and the import model.
For fieldwork preparation, the QGIS program and the QField application were used. Through QGIS, tree data obtained from the university's Environmental Management System were imported, and then each campus of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia - Medellín Campus was divided into quadrants/polygons, with the aim that each member verified the tree data/points in the assigned quadrant. Field data verification was done through the QField application. The qfiel form identifies the mapper with their OSM username, allows them to add new individuals, map dead trees, and delete absent individuals. Information on species, growth habit, condition, and a photo was collected during the recognition.
Python code was used to complement the information collected in the field, using the GBIF open repository API to add information about the botanical family for each of the mapped species.
After socializing the import in the OSM Colombia community, the data import was carried out by quadrants under the user of each of the project participants, using an import model with QGIS that allows the translation of data into the tags used by the platform.

This talk will introduce the USAID/GeoCenter’s Mapping for Resilience initiative and update the OpenStreetMap community on its objectives to connect open-geospatial data with USAID programming. It will cover how USAID has supported the OpenStreetMap community in the past and its plans for the future. Further, the talk will highlight the program’s successes and challenges.

<hr>

Mapping for Resilience emerged from USAID’s need for new and updated geospatial information. The seeds of the program started in 2012 when the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA, now the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance), requested an updated map of Kathmandu to assist with their Nepal Earthquake Contingency Plan. The GeoCenter partnered with U.S. State Department’s Humanitarian Information Unit, the World Bank and the George Washington University, to host a mapathon to generate the needed information

Since this first activity Mapping for Resilience, including the YouthMappers program, has supported USAID across the domains and geographies it operates in. This not only includes the humanitarian sector but also food security, agriculture, WASH, global health, youth, digital development and many others. The presentation will cover these past engagements as well as plans for the program’s future.

The more detailed our mapping of the real world becomes, the more it becomes apparent that a single node, way or relation is insufficient to represent the complex properties of a real-word object. Streets have many lanes. Buildings have entrances, 3D shapes and POIs inside. And let's not even start talking about the complexity of a major railway station.

This talk will take a systematic look at the different ways how complex objects are being mapped in OSM. We explore how editors cope with the complexities of detailed mapping and discuss the implication on how our processing tools need to change to better handle relationships between objects.

<hr>

In the early OSM days, when the map was still largely a white canvas, it was very easy to stick to a simple one-to-one relationship between real-world features and OSM objects. A street is a way. A building is a single closed way.
But the more we get into the details of mapping, the more this one-to-one principle gets us into trouble. Streets have many lanes. Buildings have entrances, 3D shapes and POIs inside. And let's not even start talking about the complexity of a major railway station.

For some of these complex constructs we have developed mapping schemas - using special tagging, relations or relying on spatial properties. But more often than not, then question of relationship between OSM object is sidestepped. The situation is more dire on the side of the processing tools. Most generic tools still look at every OSM object as an isolated feature. The tools that do process complex objects often do so only for a very specific type like 3D buildings or turning restrictions.

This talk will take a systematic look at the different ways how complex objects are being mapped in OSM. We explore how editors cope with the complexities of detailed mapping and discuss the implication on how our processing tools need to change to better handle relationships between objects.
