Shifting trends in global evolution of corporate mapping in OSM
This talk will look at corporate editing in OSM at three scales - global, national and local. Our results show that corporate editing increased from 2016 to 2021, but has decreased since then. Nevertheless, in recent years there has been a diversification of corporations, with an increase in edits from Digital Egypt or Grab and other smaller corporations. Corporate mapping tends to focus more on high and medium HDI regions, but our results also suggest that there is only a small influence of corporate mapping dynamics on other parts of the OSM mapping community in a country.
