OpenStreetMap is a project that creates and provides free geographic data such as street maps. It was started because most "free" maps have legal or technical restrictions on their use. OpenStreetMap data is collected and edited by volunteers, and can be rendered and used through various tools. The data is composed of nodes, ways, and polygons with attributes, and covers locations around the world, including being used for crisis response mapping in Haiti.

Russian architects in the 18th century helped transform Russia's architecture from a traditional wooden style to one modeled after Western Europe. Peter the Great brought in many foreign architects to build St. Petersburg and educate Russians. Some prominent Russian architects included Pyotr Yeropkin, Mikhail Zemtsov, Karl Blank, Savva Chevakinsky, and Ivan Starov. They worked in styles like baroque and classicism, designing buildings that still stand today and mark a pivotal Westernization of Russian culture and identity.

OpenStreetMap and CycleStreets: collaborative map-making and cartography in t...CycleStreets
?
Abstract: The arrival of web-based mapping from Google and others has revolutionised, in the space of only five years, the way many people interact with maps and map data. And the success of projects such as Wikipedia highlight how collation of small amounts of information from large numbers of people - an approach called 'crowdsourcing' - can challenge traditional models of data collection and ownership. Bringing these concepts together is OpenStreetMap, a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Well-established enterprises such as the Ordnance Survey are coming under increased pressure from this new model, and large companies such as MapQuest and Microsoft are starting to use and invest in it. Martin Lucas-Smith, Webmaster in the Department, and one of two main developers of the leading UK-wide cycle journey planner website, CycleStreets, will discuss OpenStreetMap, its use within a wide range of systems (from cartography, routing, and even its central role helping deal with the Haiti disaster) and discuss the challenges it poses to traditional forms of cartography and data collection.

The document discusses CycleStreets, an open source project that provides online cycle route planning and mapping using open data and crowdsourcing. Key points include:
- CycleStreets uses OpenStreetMap data and crowdsourcing to develop a UK-wide cycle journey planner and photomap. Over 2 million journeys have been planned so far mainly through word-of-mouth.
- OpenStreetMap is an open collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. It uses crowdsourcing where volunteers collect and contribute map data.
- CycleStreets demonstrates how open data and crowdsourcing can be used to develop useful online tools and maps to support cycling at a low cost
