Mapping a Path to Digital Democracy: A Federal Perspective
summary
Federal agencies report concrete wins and remaining blockers: OSM powers a scaled YouthMappers network and field mapping used to plan malaria spraying and locate trails/restrooms where federal datasets have gaps, while a PDMap pilot resolves licensing so federal-collected data can flow into OSM. The White House Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool uses OSM as a base for CEJST: OSM base, 450 covered programs and agencies leverage imagery-to-the-crowd to catalyze volunteers. Remaining needs: feature-level provenance, metadata standards, and sensitive tribal-data handling. YouthMappers: 370 universities, 70+ countries
