OSM-GB - The Elevator PitchSteven Feldman

Forget your nike and adidas, this year’s cool geobrand is openSteven Feldman

��

This year's cool brand is OPEN, which refers to open source, open standards, OpenStreetMap, and open data. OPEN is popular because it is free, catches on with internet users, and allows for collaboration and sharing of geospatial data and tools. However, questions remain about transparency, accountability, and the quality of some open data and maps. Overall, open geospatial initiatives are growing rapidly in terms of participation and amount of shared data.

How authoritative can the crowd be?Steven Feldman

��

The document discusses the concept of authoritative data and maps. It examines what makes data authoritative, focusing on characteristics like being a reliable source, complete, and correctly attributed. It also looks at the Ordnance Survey as the national mapping agency for Great Britain and its role as the definitive mapping source. The document considers whether crowdsourced maps from OpenStreetMap could also become an authoritative source, noting challenges around quality assurance and gaps in coverage. It concludes that while the crowd may not be fully authoritative, crowdsourced maps can still be useful despite not meeting the highest standards of authority.

How Ebooks, File Types, and DRM Affect your LibraryBrian Hulsey

��

This document discusses how ebooks, file types, and digital rights management (DRM) affect libraries. It addresses the relevance of technological changes to libraries, supported devices, DRM restrictions, costs of transitioning formats, necessary staff training, policy implications, challenges of implementation, and the constantly changing digital landscape. The author explores these issues and their importance for libraries adapting to new technologies.

Open data what could possibly go wrong?Steven Feldman

��

2010 was a big year for the Open Data community, some Ordnance Survey data was made freely available, data.gov.uk launched with a raft of data from across government, government published an open data license and then a new government took over who seem to be equally committed to Open Data. So far we have seen Local Government brought into the Open Data initiative (albeit with a bit of a struggle) and most recently aggregated crime data has been published on police.uk. - So is everything rosy in the Open Data garden or are there dark clouds looming on the horizon? - In a geo-context it seems that if we can pin a pair of coordinates to something someone will put it on a map, perhaps we need to pause before we map? - Is Open Data the same as openness and transparency in a government context? - What kind of accountability will access to Open Data deliver?

Thawing the Frozen Middle: The role of Managers in organisations using ScrumEm Campbell-Pretty

��

Many enterprise Agile adoptions begin with a CIO on a stage announcing a Call to Agility. Coaches are engaged, teams respond enthusiastically and the executives eagerly await the promised benefits. When reality hits and things aren’t changing fast enough, the finger pointing starts, and more often than not the frozen middle are caught in the crossfire. To add insult to injury, when an organisation introduces Scrum, middle management is often left wondering what their role is and how can they contribute? Many Agilists have suggested we should get rid of them. In my view, you need to embrace them as they do have a role to play, and an important one at that. In this session, we will explore techniques for harnessing the energy of managers at any level: frozen or otherwise! We will help them accelerate their journey towards becoming agile leaders. The presentation was given at Scrum Australia on 29th April 20166.

Harsh Horizons For the SocialmediaforumIan Forrester

��

The document discusses the challenges facing German companies in adapting to Web 2.0. It notes that audiences now expect participation and sharing to be implicit online. Companies must embrace architectures of participation, collaboration, collective intelligence and social aspects of the web or risk losing their audience. German firms need to attend events, open their data, participate more online, and explore outside their core market if they want to stay competitive in the new media landscape shaped by Web 2.0.

The gap between physical and digital has blurred: we use Wiis to get in shape, computers to order a pizza, or our smartphone’s GPS to find hot dates. People want to interact with products and services when they want to and how they want to – and that’s not always on the web. The future of design is everywhere the customer touches our product or service - digital or physical. User experience practitioners must move beyond the screen to designing a holistic customer experience that is seamless across channels and devices.

State of the Map US 2015Tyler Bell

��

This document discusses mobile data and maps, and place attachment. It provides examples of how mapping is viewed through data from mobile apps and sensors that can inform maps and disambiguate places. Examples shown include Flickr photo polygons in Hong Kong from 2008 and 2013, Uber's complete map of New York City updated every 24 hours, and indicative metrics on location queries from ad tech companies. The document discusses how analyzing patterns in device data can form geo-behavioral attributes, and how crowdsourced mapping systems incorporate live user data that is then curated by mapping communities.

An Approach to OSM GeocodingTyler Bell

��

This document discusses geocoding and the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project. It notes that the geocoding use case has changed from maps and navigation to contextual information. It outlines some technical challenges for OSM geocoding including hierarchy normalization and non-street contexts. The document argues that open addresses and polygons are critical for the future and that everyone should use and contribute to OSM to increase comfort with the project and data contributions over time.

Automated Engagement: Electronic Receipts and the Future of GeoTyler Bell

��

The future of mobile payments contains real excitement: not around simple convenience, but rather the return of purchase history back to the hands of the user. While the commercial implications are of course enormous, the geotechnical potential – employing an artifact of the payments process – is huge. This brief talk aims to provide an overview to some of that hugeness, and discuss what how the game is taking shape on the table. A single mobile payment records the time, date, and place of purchase (like any purchase today), but doing so on a mobile device provides the means to record that transaction and re-purpose it for further user benefit outside the commercial domain. The next generation of geo applications will all be ‘Big Data’ apps: using data for a purpose orthogonal to its purpose at collection, and enriching it to become more than a sum of its parts. We’ll see mobile apps that check-in, comb for deals, and geolocate people with every purchase, to start.

Why Search is the ProblemTyler Bell

��

The document discusses issues with the current state of search and APIs. It argues that search has become too user-centric, requiring human disambiguation of results. APIs are also primarily designed for user consumption, not machine-to-machine communication. This leads to problems with multiple representations of the same real-world entities across different data sources. The document advocates for more structured data and connections between data to allow for straight-through processing between machines without human intervention.

GeoLocal APIs: unencumbering the geolocal ecosystemTyler Bell

��

The document discusses GeoLocal APIs and how they can enable sharing of location data and resources. It analyzes several location-based services and APIs, noting aspects like their approach to content sharing, metadata standards, search capabilities, and robots.txt policies. The document advocates for open data sharing through APIs rather than restrictions, in order to better connect applications and data.

#4: These coordinates can map to the US, which has its own array of contextual associations… http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/v1/details.php?place_id=4476130 http://www.flickr.com/photos/mav16/3557076001/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/expressmonorail/2531144122/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/video4net/4079991429/
#5: They also map to California, which has its own, different context… http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/v1/details.php?place_id=79413431 http://www.flickr.com/photos/muftirythm/5181074455/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/caccamo/1253844134 http://www.flickr.com/photos/the_tahoe_guy/4415371647/
#6: And of course to San Francisco, which also has its own context independent of others… http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/v1/details.php?place_id=36061747 http://www.flickr.com/photos/alex-s/80040426/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/salim/402618628/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/26063464@N03/3633118346/
#7: The coordinates actual map directly onto an Adult ‘Novelty’ shop, which of course has entirely different associations… Google streetview Image http://www.flickr.com/photos/mmemarilyn/2021853367/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/netzanette/3822981633/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/preppybyday/5076899310/
#9: Diff. between grid and graph Coordinates provide location, Businesses and POI provide context Semantic hooks on which we hang activity http://www.flickr.com/photos/iconolith/253426954/

#11: So we got that going for us…
#13: Nomalization and canonicalization are huge problem Across all attributes, varying by country. 10 core attributes, 35 countries = 350 rule sets
#15: Same store on 8 different sites
#16: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
#17: Uniform Resource Identifiers accessible via HTTP Dereference: to obtain a copy or representation of the resource it identifies.

#21: Large-scale data engineering is a royal PITA We address this so that your efforts go on the application layer – where differentiation counts
