DESCRIPTION:In this session the topic of OSM POI data and its usefulness fo
 r blind navigation users will be explored. Through examples ranging from h
 eight of buildings\, inscriptions of monuments and random facts dropped in
  editor's notes\, the participants will discover how complete POI data con
 tributes to a more accessible and inclusive world.\nAccessible mobile tool
 s and strategies allowing for access to POI data and navigation will be pr
 esented\, followed by a discussion of   possible improvement scenarios for
  greater participation of the blindness community in the consumption and c
 reation of OSM data. Examples of such strategoes might include accessible 
 mapping tools\, additional tags and mapping categories and inclusion into 
 local OSM communities.\nParticipants will leave the talk equipped with kno
 wledge on how their work within the OSM community contributes to improved 
 mobility for persons with disabilities. They will also gather ideas for re
 flection on the state of OSM data globally and strategies to make local co
 mmunities a place where new meaningful connections revolving around the co
 mmon goal of creating open data can be forged.
