I sent it originally to the talk-ca list, and I was advised that this list might be more appropriate. My name is Peter Rushforth, and I’m with the Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation, at Natural Resources Canada (a Canadian government department). We are planning a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) workshop on maps in the Web platform (specifically HTML), together with the W3C and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). The workshop will be collocated with the OGC Technical Committee meeting, June 15-17 2020 in Montreal, Quebec. I am sending this email to see if Open Street Map (especially the Web client development teams) might be interested in being invited to participate (by presenting a short position paper, in person) in this workshop on the concept of better integrating mapping into the Web platform standards, and if so, how does Open Street Map see this. Even if you believe that the Web platform standards are already good enough for mapping, it might be worthwhile staking that out as a position. If you are interested, though, we would certainly welcome OSM to also be part of the program committee. The objective of the workshop will be to start the conversation between the geospatial (and geospatial standards) and Web platform communities, about how Web standards could better serve the needs of Web mapping and most especially users of Web maps and the Web in general. Some topics of potential interest include: a native map viewer, similar to that provided for video content standards for how such a map widget might integrate with map services and APIs accessibility of browser maps privacy of user location information security of browser-based maps Integration / relationship of maps and location with other browser APIs, e.g. geo-video, geolocation API, forms, SVG crawling, indexing and searching map information standardized browser elements and APIs CSS styling of maps and map features Map feature creation / input forms federated map services with linking - aka the Web Mostly the agenda will be driven by position papers, and what organizations like yours want to discuss. If OSM is interested in sending one or two people to present a position, please reply directly to me, and I will ensure that you / they are invited.

It does not make sense to go through the bureaucratic loops of forming an organisation just for trademark reasons. So, there would need to be more reasons for forming a Chapter. It would also be worth reaching out to the Chapters Committee to find out what compliance that OSM Foundation expects from us once we form a Chapter? Reports, Financial expenditures, etc. These would be in addition to the paperwork required by Government of India. ___ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in
[Talk-in] OSM India Chapter
Hello all, In the Virtual Mappy Hours held yesterday, the OSM Chair Allan Mustard had suggested that we go ahead with the formation of an Indian chapter and officially affiliate with the OSM Foundation. This enables us to use the OSM Trademark officially. I thought I would start the thread on this list for people interested in this effort. I know that there is an active Telegram group going on, but I think putting things on the mailing list will help archive the effort and discussion that goes into formation of a Chapter. For future historians of the movement,this would be something akin to the Constituent Assembly discussions are to India today. On the chat yesterday, I had cautioned that India has had previous bitter experiences with running organisations wherein a Foundation manages the organisations or groups in various countries. We are seeing the effect of that in the Wikimedia movement in India. Naveen, also on this group, has first-hand experience with this as he was involved in the formation of the Wikimedia India Chapter. I hope that such previous experiences of the members here will help us avoid the pitfalls and help to form a much more stronger OSM India Chapter. In India, the experience has been that the introduction of an organisation leads to dis-organisation of the community. I hope we can stay in this together and for the long haul.

To: map...@lists.wikimedia.org Hi folks, it's been a long time coming, but we're finally gearing up for putting some development effort into an OSM tileservice running in production to serve Wikimedia sites. This is being driven by the mobile team but obviously has lots of non-mobile use cases as well, including the recent Wikivoyage addition to the Wikimedia familiy. This work will probably not kick off before January/February 2013; before then, the mobile team is working to finish up the GeoData extension ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Geodata ). To get broader community involvement and sync up with existing volunteer efforts in this area, it'd IMO be useful to plan a face-to-face meetup/hackfest just focused on geodata/mapping related development work sometime around Feb/March 2013. WMF is not going to organize this, but we can help sponsor travel and bring the key developers from our side who will work on this. Are there any takers for supporting a 20-30 people development event in Europe focused on mapping/geodata? I'm suggesting Europe because I know quite a few of the relevant folks are there, but am open to other options as well.

Re: [Talk-in] Monuments of India - geographical co-ordinates?
hi, There are a couple of issues: 1. The monuments are not clearly defined. In places like Agra, which are tourist destinations, these can seem a pretty simple proposition. It may be easy to identify the monument physically by noticing a Archaeological Survey of India board. I am not sure if such protections or boards exist in all states (or if they existed, if they are still there). 2. We've found more monuments on the ASI website that includes some of the more recent monuments (less than 100 years old) which are somewhere in the care of ASI as well. 3. The principal problem is how do you geo-tag these given that there are not Wikipedia articles. This is a challenge for Wikipedians as well, as we need to get down to the task of creating articles for them :). There are about 3000 listed monuments. No easy task. My rough sense is that less than 10% have Wikipedia articles on them. warm regards, Pradeep Mohandas On 29 August 2012 12:19, Sajjad Anwar sajja...@gmail.com wrote: Only, all monuments do not have a wikipedia page. Actually it seems like only a minuscule portion of them do. Also, most of the descriptions are generic: Two swivel guns belonging to the Mughal Nawwara Burial Cave Ruins Its quite a task to actually locate them and map it with this information. This is a massive coordinated mapping project itself. If done, it would be an awesome database which even the government may not have. It is. In fact, Arky and I started http://www.heritagewalks.in/ as part of the Maps for Making Change workshop and tried to come up with a platform for people to quickly check in locations of heritage importance. The project didn't take-off as expected and is in a bad shape. Any crowdsourced project of this sort will eventually face this chicken and egg problem, and that's one of my learnings from the heritagwalks.in project. The workflow that Onkar suggested seems sensible to me, but it boils down to the availability of data and how we can go about it. Cheers, Sajjad. 2. Tag all the monuments that are already mapped with this tag (provided wikipedia page is already present). 3. Use XAPI to retrieve all the nodes which have this tag within the bbox of India. [2] 4. From this OSM dump you can easily get coordinates using some XML parsing. Example XAPI query (bbox is small, retrieves one node) http://open.mapquestapi.com/xapi/api/0.6/node[bbox=72.607,17.639,74.983,19.542][wikipedia=*] [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wikipedia [2] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/XAPI#Nodes Regards, Onkar -- Passion - Some people climb mountains - others write Free software.

hi, The January edition of Pixel 2 People, the internal newsletter of the National Remote Sensing Center, ISRO's center for remote sensing has some interesting points about Bhuvan, a portal that it uses to showcase India's remote sensing data. The edition can be found here - http://www.nrsc.gov.in/assets/doc/ptop/P2P_JAN12.pdf It claims: 1. Services of Bhuvan has now been enhanced with the new facilities like NRSC Open EO Data Archive (NOEDA) which facilitates the users to download IRS Data and Products coarser than 24 m with Metadata as per NSDI 2.0 and the thematic Services facilitate the users to access, query and utilise all these datasets as OGC web services. 2. Bhuvan services are OGC compliant such as WMS (Web Map Service), Web Map Tile Service (WMTS), WFS (Web Feature Service) and KML towards Interoperability. 3. Bhuvan also enables users to share and overlay maps and feature data through interoperability that implement the OGC WMS and WFS Interface and KML encoding standards. For instance, the Andhra Pradesh Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is using Bhuvan services to show school information. 4. On other hand, Linux user group has brought out the Andriod app to access Bhuvan.
