OpenStreetMap 101: Get to know the world's largest collaborative map
The world’s largest crowdsourced geospatial database, OpenStreetMap has become a platform for empowering communities and supporting data driven decision-making as society faces an ever increasing need for geospatial data to understand and respond to complex issues. In this workshop, you'll learn the basics of contributing data to OSM and be introduced to OSM US driven tools like Map Roulette, the Tasking Manager and Public Domain Map.

How to Bring Geospatial Awareness to Large Language Models From Geoinformatics Data
Wouldn’t it be useful to have the ability to ask natural language queries to understand features and networks of features and how they are related to each other across different domains? This workshop will show you how to integrate available geoinformatics data at the feature level and capture the geospatial relationships between features as semantic text that can be interpreted by LLMs. By using spatial knowledge graphs, hallucinations are minimized and answers are traceable and viewable on a map.
