For the success of any location service, the length and breadth of geographic relationships have to be recorded with enough room for frequent verification and classification. This talk will introduce the infrastructure behind the largest open geographic data repository - OpenStreetMap - and how you can leverage the complete geospatial stack for independent data collection, verification, and building services. The speaker explains the unique data model, its performance, scalability, data editing and verification methods, and extensible data service built on top of it. This session ends with the speaker's experience of working on a project that used OpenStreetMap from ground up to monitor natural resources extraction in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
