UN Open GIS Initiative – Open Source Geospatial S/W for the UN
Ki-Joune Li and Maria Brovelli

Abstract: As the open source geospatial software becomes a fundamental
basis of GIS applications, there is a strong demand from the UN for
many peace keeping operations. In order to respond to this demand, we
have launched the UN Open GIS initiative since March 2016. The
objective of the initiative is to identify and develop open source
geospatial software and services that meets the requirements of UN
operations, taking full advantage of the expertise of mission partners
including partner nations, technology developed by contributing
countries, international organizations, academia, NGO’s, private
sector. Three teams (called Spirals) have been actively working to
achieve this objective. The first team (Spiral I) aims at developing
and deploying an open source geospatial information infrastructure for
the UN as well as a geo-portal. The second team (Spiral II) provides
the capacity building programs on open source geospatial software to
the UN staffs. The third team (Spiral III) intends to implement open
source geospatial analysis tools for divers UN operations. We are also
planning Spiral IV for geospatial data collection task. In this
webinar, the background, motivations, visions, and roadmap of the
initiative will be presented as well as the activities and technical
aspects of each spirals. The UN Open GIS Initiative is open, your
contributions are always very much welcome.
