Overture Places + OSM: Deduplication and Verification
Jennings Anderson, Christopher Beddow
Overture Maps Foundation provides millions of points of interest (POIs) as open map data. This gives OpenStreetMap users a chance to improve the map using open source geospatial tools in Python, along with various open APIs, to compare and validate the data. This workshop will let users learn how to do it in a place on the map of their own choosing.
