Openstreetmap.org is about people mapping everything worldwide from great hiking routes to ski runs or and wine tours. Gatt describes it as a kind of wiki of special interest maps.

Another major player this year was open data. Open Street Maps (and its licensing struggle) and Britain’s Ordnance Survey take the cake. As Gary Gale writes, “The people behind OpenStreetMap believe in open data, the people behind the Ordnance Survey want to believe in open data and I believe in the GeoVation Challenge … 2009 seemed to be less about technology and more about communities and people, and that means a lot of belief.” If you think that’s a load of hooey, call me the next time your Garmin dumps you in a lake. Real, open communities foster good content.

Further geo-enabling the web, the Open Geospatial Consortium’s OpenGIS matured, with almost 400 global governments, companies and schools coming together to enhance publicly-available standards and interoperable solutions.
