Sessions
UN Smart Maps Group is testing new technologies for future geospatial operations. This presentation showcase the latest advancements in the UNVT POD (Portable on Demand) and FOIL4G (Free and Open Information Library for Geospatial), integrating Tippecanoe, MapLibre GL JS, go-pmtiles, and Martin with Generative AI and classic UNIX utilities.
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is implementing a co-creation, innovation and circulation initiative for updating its development cooperation by adding geospatial data on OpenStreetMap. This presentation will introduce the use of open source tools developed for OpenStreetMap to create maps useful for activities in JICA.
The National Center for Geospatial Data (CNDG) of Timor-Leste is implementing a spatial data ecosystem using cloud-native technologies in an experimental basis. Application of go-pmtiles, Tippecanoe, MapLibre GL JS, Martin, and GitHub Pages are introduced with some support from geospatial unit of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
UN Open GIS Initiative has been developing an open source GIS bundle for UN operations since 2016. This presentation will introduce its activities such as hybrid GIS development and capacity building. This presentation will also introduce the future directions for the second decade of the initiative, for open discussion.
