Hallo Peter,

danke für die Bereitstellung des Dokumentes, ich kann darauf zugreifen. Wie besprochen kann ich aufgrund des anstehenden Ausscheidens leider nicht viel zur Agenda ergänzen, finde aber die bereits bestehenden Impulsfragen gut und werde mal schauen, ob sich diese irgendwie ergänzen ließen. Vielleicht lässt sich auch noch etwas aus dem Einreichungstext für den abgelehnten Vortrag von der State of the Map extrahieren, da sich seitdem nicht viel an unserem grundsätzlichen Vorhaben geändert hat. Diesen füge ich unten noch mal ein.

Ich werde mich mit Eszter auch noch zum Thema "Introduction to OSM-LTA" austauschen, das in der Agenda aufgeführt ist.

Einreichungstext SotM:

Abstract:
OpenStreetMap is a valuable source of worldwide spatiotemporal data, which needs to be preserved and accessed for science and society. A German working group draws attention to this topic and wants to get in contact with the international OSM-community to discuss the most important questions of preservation and access, as: Why should outdated geodata remain relevant? Who uses such OSM-data? Which approaches and requirements exist? How can we find a global approach and what can we learn from each other? How could we collaborate?

Beschreibung:
With OpenStreetMap numerous volunteers worldwide are contributing to a free and open map of the world. For 20 years, they have been collecting and contributing data that is hardly in the scope of national, official mapping agencies. In large parts of the world it is indeed the only available source of geodata. Due to this wealth of information OSM plays a major role in topographical documentation of our world and is a vital part in a variety of geodata products. OSM data does provide a valuable spatial insight into our digital transformed global society and is crucial to scientists in studying its change and evolution.
 
Indeed, the OSMF and Archive.org provide both planet and history files. But to our knowledge there is no coordinated concept according to principles of long-term preservation including an easy access to the data and its cartographical representations.
 
To find an appropriate solution for the preservation of OpenStreetMap data, we have founded a working group at FOSSGIS e.V. This association is the local chapter of the OSMF in Germany and a non-profit organization that promotes free and open-source software for geographic information systems (GIS) in German-speaking countries. It supports projects, organizes the yearly held FOSSGIS conference, and fosters collaboration between developers, users, academia, and public institutions. The association plays a key role in advancing open geodata and open standards in the GIS community. Our working group consists of scientists, officials, and OSM mappers.

At the FOSSGIS Conference 2025 in Münster, Germany, we held our first public BoF session, where we received rich interest and strong feedback. At this year's FOSSGIS conference in Göttingen, Germany, we talked about legal aspects of a potential OSM archiving project. At the following BoF and the OSM-community-meeting, we have started to discuss, which approaches and requirements exist and how national archives and libraries could be involved. 

In the next step we are interested in spreading and discussing the goals of the project beyond national boundaries, as the OSM world map is a global issue. We want to draw attention to the question, if a coordinated georedundant preservation of the OSM-data should be necessary and how approaches could look like. Why should outdated geodata remain relevant? Who uses such OSM-data? Which approaches and requirements exist? How can we find a global approach and what can we learn from each other? How could we collaborate? Based on a talk and a following BoF, we want to get in contact with the international audience to discuss our questions and thoughts.


Beste Grüße
Konstantin Krömer

Betreff: [OSM-LZA] Vorbereitung für Termin am 17. September

Hallo OSM-LZA-Team,

wie beim letzten Treffen besprochen habe ich uns in der FOSSGIS-Cloud einen Ordner für die Vorbereitung des Termins am 17.9. angelegt:
Ordner: https://cloud.fossgis.de/s/EqXjzzkxS4S5WA7

Bitte prüft, ob Ihr darauf zugreifen könnt.

Im Ordner liegt dieses Textdokument zur Agenda:

Die Dokumentstruktur und die Impulsfragen sind ein erster Entwurf, der sehr gerne diskutiert und erweitert werden können.

Viele Grüße,
Peter
