  1. UN Vector Tile Toolkit: overview Aim To support more effective

    operation by enabling the use of optimal basemap vector tiles. Timeline 2018-12: Version 1 released on FOSS4G Asia. 2019-06: Demonstrated to CITO of the UN. Established features 1. Produce vector tiles around the world in 80 hours with UNGSC PostGIS basemap data and 1 PC. 2. Be interoperable with Geocortex among others via server-side image tile rendering. Participants From UNGIS, UNGSC, GSI, NIAES, OSGeo.JP and Mapbox new! GitHub https://github.com/un-vector-tile-toolkit A part of the Report from UN Open GIS Initiative Spiral 4
  2. We strive to solve common problems in web maps. DONE

    • Share and package tips to produce & daily-update vector tiles with optimized size and from large data, using existing best open source tools. • Establish interoperability with frameworks which are yet to embrace the latest vector tile technology. TODO • Have less steep learning curve. • Have compact interface with underlying server infrastructure. • Avoid getting stuck in enterprise web environment.
  3. Two task streams Task “Casale” – from an area in

    Brindisi Deploying of continuous update in UNGSC Task “Ango” - from a novelist from Niigata Better hands-on training materials Deploy automatic and continuous update of UN basemap vector tiles using the new generation of UNGSC PostGIS database. Ready to proceed after proposed human and database resources are available. May involve infrastructure requests. A set of hands-on materials designed for Docker-based environment from scratch. The container image works even with RasPi. To be used and improved in several hands- on opportunities such as FOSS4G 2019 Niigata or UN-GGIM-AP side event (P).
