OpenStreetMap (OSM) Galaxy is a project that the HOT Tech Team launched in mid-April 2021 to optimise and improve availability and accessibility of OSM Data outputs for different user groups within the ecosystem. Through this project, we strive to address all the OSM data needs under one umbrella and ensure OSM data is available, accessible and ready to use for all kinds of users. We are trying to solve the high dependency on different data sources and uncontrolled platforms while focusing on fast queries and process optimisation by accessing data from HOT administered and controlled environment. As a one-liner, the vision for OSM Galaxy is to provide a single platform to address all OSM Data Needs. In OSM context, a data need is a broad term covering a variety of topics: Raw data exports Analysing completeness of Data Checking the data quality in your neighbourhood Understanding your contribution to a mapathon, to name a few Through this project we strive to: Bring together all the data needs under one umbrella Ensure OSM data is available, accessible and ready to use for all kinds of users |
