Abstract

Nowadays digital maps are a basic tool for decision making. Map making is not an objective process, organizations, institutions and big tech companies reproduce their own interests and biases in the map. Open Street Map (OSM) is a repository containing open geospatial data contributed by millions of people around the globe. With OSM data is possible to create maps that don’t reproduce interests of a few, and also, by being open source, it allows auditing on how a decision was made. Although OSM is a free participation platform, it has some socio-technical characteristics that make it difficult for volunteers to participate in geospatial data capture and editing processes. This paper offers a functional prototype developed as free software to counteract these difficulties.
预编辑器:免费软件,以支持协作过程,以改善开放街道地图
如今,数字地图是决策的基本工具。地图制作不是一个客观的过程,组织、机构和大型科技公司将自己的兴趣和偏见复制到地图上。开放街道地图(OSM)是一个存储库,其中包含全球数百万人提供的开放地理空间数据。使用OSM数据可以创建不复制少数人兴趣的地图,而且,由于是开源的,它允许对如何做出决策进行审计。虽然OSM是一个免费参与平台,但它具有一些社会技术特征,使志愿者难以参与地理空间数据的获取和编辑过程。本文提供了一个作为自由软件开发的功能原型来解决这些困难。
