From Volunteered Geographic Information to Artificial Intelligence: 20 Years of Planet-Scale Open Geospatial Data
Today’s researchers have access to many open geospatial datasets from OpenStreetMap to AI-derived building footprints from Microsoft and Google. However, processing, conflating, and generally working with these planetary datasets at scale remains a difficult problem. The Overture Maps Foundation continually combines the best available sources of open spatial data to create reliable and interoperable global-scale data for map-makers. The resulting dataset is distributed as GeoParquet, a cloud-native geospatial format that will fundamentally change how industry and academia alike interact with global-scale spatial data.

Querying the Planet: Leveraging GeoParquet to work with global scale open geospatial data locally and in the cloud.
Consisting of open data from OpenStreetMap, Meta, Esri, Microsoft, Google, and more, Overture Maps data is conflated and converted to a consistent schema before being distributed as geoparquet files in the cloud. This workshop will explore the advantages of GeoParquet and cloud-native geospatial technologies for researchers working with the data both locally and in the cloud.
