Webinar Making Maps from OpenStreetMap Data

• Title: "Making Maps from OpenStreetMap Data"
• A UNIGIS u_Lecture (Webinar) by Prof. Stefan Keller
• Date/Time: Monday, June 10, 2014, 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM CEST

Contents: This presentation shows how to make own maps given some amount of cartographic knowledge and the established crowdsourcing geospatial data project OpenStreetMap (OSM). The combination of freely accessible worldwide OSM data and open source tools empower people to do cartographic visualization. A core element of this presentation is a handbook with selected software tools and programming scripts. First we go through the steps and tools needed to produce a base or a thematic map provided by a gallery of predefined styles. Then we look at some yet to be enhanced aspects of preprocessing like database (tag) homogenization and cartographic generalization.
