  1. 1 Smart Maps for the United Nations, with the United

    Nations Hidenori 2023-12-01T15:30/15:50 (20 min.) @Vium Hall FOSS4G Asia 2023 Closing Ceremony
  2. UN Smart Maps Group (SMG) 1. 7th Domain Working Group

    under UN Open GIS Initiative. Ø The initiative is to identify and develop an open-source GIS bundle that meets the requirements of UN operations. 2. A volunteer group of engineers, educators, and students, among others. 3. Open community of practice. Ø Do-ocracy which is common in open-source software community. 4. We define Smart Maps as application of modern web map technologies for informed decision. 5. Vision: keep web maps open for a better world. 6. Mission: test new technologies for future geospatial operations. 2
  3. UN Open GIS Initiative The UN Open GIS Initiative is

    an ongoing Partnership Initiative for Technology in Peacekeeping of United Nations Department of Operational Support. It has been running by the United Nations Geospatial in the Office of Information and Communications Technology, since March 2016. 4

  5. Hidenori @hfu • Director, Research Planning, Geography and Crustal Dynamics

    Research Center, Geospatial Information Authority of Japan • GSI Maps https://maps.gsi.go.jp/ • Address data development and standardization • Mission: Promote partnership through geospatial information. • Vision: Create a world where map engineers prosper. • Have been participating in open-source software with “for own use” model. 7
  6. History • 2016: UN Open GIS Initiative Ø Started a

    base web map toolkit project as a contribution from a mapping agency. Ø Thanks to my chief Mr. Eom Kyoung-Soo of UN Geospatial Information Section. • 2018: UN Vector Tile Toolkit (under DWG4) Ø An open-source toolkit to produce, host, style and optimize base map vector tiles. Ø Thanks to our DWG chair Prof. Li Ki-Joune. • 2022: UN Smart Maps Group (as DWG7) Ø Participants bring their objectives: base maps, 3D, LLMs, documentation, etc. 8
  7. The problem I was facing • I wanted to keep

    web maps open. • Because our clients deserves the best, within our limited resources. • Because no single map can meet all requirements. Many maps should be available on the Web. • Because custom requirements, such as security, cost recovery arrangements, should be met. • I’ve got friends to help. 9
  8. @yuiseki • Prototyping application of Large Language Models (LLMs) for

    human-map-interface: Smart Maps Agent. • Testing open source LLMs for future use. 10
  9. @smellman • Leading Core tool collection maintenance. • Capacity building

    with participants to JICA knowledge co-creation programs. 11
  10. Communications and Community strategy • Smart Maps Group website https://unopengis.github.io/smartmaps

    • Monthly meetings – for Pacific time zones. • Weekly meetings – 30 minutes every Tuesday. 13 Open License ↓ Open Practice ↓ Open Community
  11. @miya0001, @JinIgarashi, and friends Charites: YAML syntax for style.json of

    MapLibre, letting style.json ‘buildable’. 15
  12. @office-shirado Quickly combined open cloud-native data in a simple web

    map. 2 ministries, 1 agency, 1 authority. Land and House Investigator. 17
  13. UN Smart Maps Bazaar • My contribution to UN Smart

    Maps Group. • Mission: Unlimited import, portable anywhere. • Host cloud-native geospatial data data on InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) 18
  14. “Nagasaki Point Cloud visualization” Open LAS data released by Nagasaki

    prefecture. 400GB of 3D Tiles, produced using py3dtiles, hosted on Smart Maps Bazaar. 35
  15. “Platoon” 3D Tiles from Project PLATEAU. Hosted on UN Smart

    Maps Bazaar. Digital Twin can be personal, yet to be optimized. 36
  16. Open Community helping Secured Data 39 We test new open-source

    technologies with open data. Secured Data Open Community Open Data We transfer technology and respect secured data.
  17. How to join UN Smart Maps • Commit on GitHub.

    • The best way known to work. • Anyone can join. • Community Sprints • Meetups 40 https://github.com/unopengis/7/issues
  18. Potential new areas 1. Smarter UI 2. Digital Twin 3.

    Metaverse 4. Multilingualization with open source LLMs 5. CNN-based feature extraction with TensorFlow 6. Sensor integration 42
  19. Conclusion UN Smart Maps Group • combine efforts for the

    United Nations and for ourselves simultaneously. • collaborate openly. We welcome contribution from anyone. • test new technologies for the future. We all are already combining efforts by promoting Open Source Software. Let’s keep web maps open. Appreciate openness. Let’s combine efforts. 43
