Technology</i> (<u>HeiGIT.org</u>). At HeiGIT a team is
already working at developing a comprehensive open source
framework for OSM data analysis (<u><a href="http://ohsome.org" target="_blank">ohsome.org</a></u>). This can
be a base for further developments in the analysis of OSM data
quality targeted to routing & navigation. In addition
GIScience & HeiGIT jointly develop the open source OSM
routing platform <a href="https://openrouteservice.org%20g" target="_blank">openrouteservice.org
