Open Maps for Europe - Democratising data and Driving Sustainability
10-01, 14:00–14:30 (Europe/London), Create 2

OME has been developed by Idox Geospatial for EuroGeographics. We'll share their journey from licenced to open data, using our open-source back end tech stack, the MapCloud and share our approach to styling and publication of data using OGC standards to massively increase data use.


We'll explore both the evolving project requirements and deliverables as well as the technical challenges we've faced (and how we overcame them).
