<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Semibold", sans-serif;">The German Research Foundation funded research project "Open geospatial data at the intersection of digital commoning, digital humanitarianism, and digital capitalism: Transformations and tensions
in OpenStreetMap" investigates transformations and tensions in the field of open geodata, digital commons and volunteered geographic information. It analyses the growing role of commercial platforms and humanitarian actors in OpenStreetMap (OSM). The research
project starts from the premise that there is a tension between the ethos of OSM as a project that builds on local knowledge and practices of digital commoning and the concerns about distanced and data-extractivist practices of institutional actors on the
other hand. These concerns are raised in particular by decolonial and feminist voices within the OSM community and raise questions about the power of cartography as well as organisational issues of participation, polyphony and data sovereignty. The research
project asks about the changing production and use of geographic knowledge in OSM, the interactions, overlaps and conflicts between the different groups of actors and the changing governance of OSM at the intersection of digital commoning, digital humanism
and digital capitalism.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Semibold", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 105%;">Case study A focuses on the strategies and policies of the main institutional actors in OSM (commercial actors such as Meta and Microsoft, the newly established
Overture Maps Foundation, and the humanitarian OSM team). Of particular interest are the relationships, conflicts and tensions between these institutional actors and key players in the OSM community. This case study is based at the Chair of Cultural Geography
and Political Geography at the FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg (with Prof. Glasze).</span></li><li style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; direction: ltr; line-height: 105%; margin: 12pt 0cm 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Semibold", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 105%;">Case study B analyses the practical interactions between local communities and institutional actors at the local level. It focuses on the Philippines, a place where
local OSM communities are in tense interaction with actors and concepts of digital platform capitalism and the humanitarian sector. This case study is based at the Chair of Digital Geography at MLU Halle-Wittenberg (with Prof. Michel).</span></li></ul>
