Organization:Overture Maps Foundation
The Overture Maps Foundation is an open data mapping collaboration, launched in mid-December 2022 under the auspices of the Linux Foundation. Its stated mission is "powering current and next-generation map products by creating reliable, easy-to-use, and interoperable open map data." Overture founding members were Amazon, Meta, Microsoft and TomTom.[1][2][3]
The Overture project is intended to be complementary to the crowdsourced OpenStreetMap project, and the foundation encourages members to contribute data directly to the OSM project.[4]
Data will be released under the Community Database License Agreement – Permissive v2, unless required otherwise by licensing conflicts.[4]
Releases
In April 2024, the Foundation released the first version of its dataset, as part of a beta test of its service.[5] The data is available in GeoParquet, an incubating Open Geospatial Consortium standard that adds interoperable geospatial types to Apache Parquet,[6] format via Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure.[7][8]
The schema for the system is still under development.
