Marc Prioleau: Overture leaves beta
Manage episode 442653271 series 2628931
Mark Prioleau, Executive Directory of the Overture Maps Foundation, rejoins the podcast to share an update. The conversation covers topics such as the general availability of Overture Maps, the data themes available, accessing the data, the hierarchy of sources for buildings data, and the challenges and improvements of the places data. The episode highlights the importance of cloud-native formats and the potential for integrating open data with proprietary data. Overture is focused on creating an open base layer for mapping data that can be used by application developers. They aim to provide a global, open, and entity-based reference system that allows for the conflation of data from various sources. The goal is to create a comprehensive and up-to-date map dataset that can be distributed to billions of people. Finally, Marc shares why he sees the relationship with OpenStreetMap as complimentary.
