    OSM is relatively “easy” to join
    ● … compared to contributing to Open Source projects or
    Wikipedia.
    ● All you need to get started is local knowledge
    ● There is a community!
    ● The community expects, that you collect data with care.

  32. When proposing OSM
    to a customer or use it
    in a service,
    we take on responsibility
    for the data.

  33. Major OSM issues (in Japan)
    33
    ● Large spread of data coverage and quality.
    ● Insufficient address/POI data
    ● Vertical and dense urban areas
    ● Use of data beyond rendering map images
    Responsibility for map data bears an additional risk.
