“How to handle OpenStreetMap data” Workshop Heidelberg, Mai 18th
May 11th, 2017 by GIScienceHD
OpenStreetMap has become a huge source for any kind of geographic information. In OpenStreetMap you now find not only street information, but also information related to buildings, shops, sights and in Heidelberg even to individual trees.
Furthermore, OpenStreetMap data is open data – everyone is free to edit and to download the data to create own maps and analysis. In our workshop we want to explore this potential together with you.
When: Thursday, 18.05.2017, 6 pm
Where: PC-labs + Seminarraum, Berliner Straße 48, Heidelberg University, Institute of Geography
Depending on you pre-knowledge, we plan to have different groups. Please sign up using this link until wednesday (17.05.):
