Drew Breunig ☛ Towards Standardizing Place
Last week, The Overture Maps Foundation announced the General Availability of its global maps datasets. The exiting of beta for the places, buildings, divisions, and base layers is a tremendous achievement for all involved. I’ve been lucky enough to participate with Overture for the last year and a half, through my work at Precisely. I’m especially excited to help guide Overture’s Global Entity Reference System, or GERS.
It’s been hard to express my excitement, especially to non-geospatial geeks, so I’ll attempt to explain here.
Overture’s Global Entity Reference System has a real shot at standardizing how datasets and systems deal with place.
