Dangers of commercialising public data

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The commercialisation of local spatial knowledge is an emerging problem across communities all around the world. Users creating spatial and attributive data through the use of commercial tools such as Google Map Maker, are extending corporate databases,but aren't able to use the very same data when they need to. Open-source and participatory mapping projects such as OpenStreetMap are designed to support community empowerment and to ensure that high quality bias-free data are available to everyone regardless of their origin, social status and position within the power structure. In this article, I will point out the danger of commercialisation of public data, with an example of its possible misuse in the international environment and I will show the advantages of participatory datamining, using as an example the OpenStreetMap project in Kibera slum, Nairobi.
