The German Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG) set their task to promote the usage of open source sotware and open data products. This also includes the usage of OpenStreetMap data as a part of federal geodata products. Furthermore, the BKG publishes data products under open data licenses with ODbL conformity.
I work in a coordinative function at the BKG and would like to talk about the growing role of OpenStreetMap for national mapping and cadastral agencies (NMCAs). Furthermore I would like to throw the spotlight on a national OSM chapter which promotes the preservation of OSM data.

Session
The Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG) has a long history on the usage of OpenStreetMap data and plans to further set this data as a reliable source for geospatial products published by governmental bodies. The aim of the talk is to give an overview how NMCAs and federal institutions in Germany use the geospatial data collected and publicized by mappers around the globe and how we want to strengthen the interaction between public administration and the OSM community.
