Repository Beta Launched via Slashgeo.org by bvbmatze on 8/6/12

Modelling our world in 3D gets more and more important within the
OpenStreetMap (OSM) project. There are several people in the community
trying to push forward this development. A major problem is that OSM
was not really designed for complex 3D modelling. The node/way/relation
+ tags based data model does not allow for complicated 3D modelling.
Therefore, the community agreed to make use of external repositories
containing more complex data which can be linked to OSM.

OpenBuildingModels is such a repository for complex architectural 3D
building models. It is free-to-use and aims to improve crowdsourced 3D
city models. Anyone can up- or download the models. They can be
referenced in OSM and appear on the OSM-3D globe. A first beta version
of the web platform is now online and models can be uploaded.
