UNIGIS webinar on "Making Maps from OpenStreetMap Data", June 10, 17:00
(MEZ)

 UNIGIS International regurarly provides webinars - so called u_Lectures
(*). At June 10 17:00 MEZ Prof. Stefan Keller is speaking on "Making Maps
from OpenStreetMap Data". Registration is now open:
https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/179829006

This presentation explains how to make a map with an own style given some
amount of cartographic knowledge. The combination of freely accessible
worldwide established OpenStreetMap (OSM) data and open source tools
empower people to do their own cartographic visualization. A core element
of this presentation is a handbook with selected software tools and
programming scripts. First we go through the steps and tools needed to
produce a basemap or a thematic map supported by a gallery of predefined
styles. Then we look at related aspects of preprocessing like database
(tag) homogenization and cartographic generalization.

(*) u_Lectures are presented by invited speakers from academia, the GI
industry, public administration, NGOs and other actors in the field of
Geoinformatics and GIScience. Available primarily to UNIGIS alumni and
active UNIGIS students, this online lecture series serves as a professional
and academic 'updating' opportunity within a generic 'lifelong learning'
framework. For general information on UNIGIS, visit http://www.unigis.net
