OpenStreetMap is a free geographic database of the world; one can find there data going from a street (crosswalk, traffic lights, etc.) to those of a territory (ground occupation, administrative divisions, buildings, etc.). This database is used a lot for the creation of maps.

Only each map created with OpenStreetMap, shows only the data that the creator wanted to show according to the need he wants to cover.

OSM DATA is a space where you can let your imagination create cartographic renderings on OSM data. The renderings are customizable thanks to QGIS, which allows to take advantage of the rendering engine of this software.

OSM DATA is a demonstrator because it shows and convinces on the level of maturity of the OSM contribution at the scale of France with more than 365 layers (more than one layer per day in the year)!

Finally, OSM DATA is a viewer because it allows you to understand in a user-friendly way how the expertise of the communities of contributors is distributed.

We will see how OSM DATA works in France, the team behind, how to create a rendering and visualize some of the renderings already present.
