[OSGeo-Standards] Accra: birth of a standard for global, national, urban and indoor reference grids?

OGC, Joana Simoes

 

Hi Joana, thank you for calling attention to the AfricaGIS 2025 in
Accra/Ghana, organized by OGC and UNGGIM. This constellation would be more
than adequate for to define two important standards: 

 

1 - consumer friendly reference grids - instead of actually none
https://volksnav.de/YouAreHere 

 

2 - imaginable - instead of enigmatic https://volksnav.de/alternatives -
location codes for global, national, urban, ingate and indoor purposes. 

Ghana has introduced own ones https://volksnav.de/GhanaScandal but, like
Google's plusCode, the population and also AfricaGIS ignore them.

 

Acc. to the video https://volksnav.de/aSimpleCircle, I've accidentally
invented a solution for both goals. Example Accra: https://volksnav.de/Accra


The problem: if it would be open, immediately hundreds of "better" standards
would arise, destroying the goal. To solve this, I'm proposing to Overture
Maps, think big investors and others to adopt the invention according to the
merit principle and simply open it for all.  

 

I'd appreciate if you and other members of this discussions list would
support this solution. Thank you in advance for the comments in favor of the
consumers,

 

Henrique
