DESCRIPTION:Every month Overture Maps Foundation releases more than four bi
 llion records of global multi-source map data as GeoParquet files\, availa
 ble in public AWS and Azure buckets. We also release a modular schema as P
 ydantic packages\, a data changelog in Parquet\, metadata in STAC\, PMTile
 s\, and other open tools to make all of it usable. The spine of Overture's
  work is the Global Entity Reference System (GERS)\, an open ID system for
  maps\, and we're building it with 50 member companies. Most map ID system
 s belong to a single company. An open one is unusual\, and building it wit
 h companies that compete with each other is harder still. In five minutes 
 I'll cover what a GERS ID is\, where it comes from\, what the GERS registr
 y captures\, and how bridge files help you join your own data to GERS.
