>> The evolution of humanitarian mapping in OpenStreetMap (OSM) and how it

>> Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology*Mapping efforts of

>> licensing costs. The collaborative maps of OSM have been used to support
>> humanitarian efforts around the world as well as to fill important data
>> gaps for implementing major development frameworks such as the Sustainable
>> Development Goals (SDGs). Besides the well-examined Global North - Global
>> South bias in OSM, the OSM data as of 2023 shows a much more spatially
>> diverse spread pattern than previously considered, which was shaped by
>> regional, socio-economic and demographic factors across several scales.

>> Dataset reuse? Toward translating principles to practiceBy *Laura
>> Koesten, University of Vienna*The web provides access to millions of
>> datasets. These data can have additional impact when used beyond the
>> context for which they were originally created. But using a dataset beyond
>> the context in which it originated remains challenging. Simply making data
>> available does not mean it will be or can be easily used by others. At the
>> same time, we have little empirical insight into what makes a dataset
>> reusable and which of the existing guidelines and frameworks have an
>> impact.In this talk, I will discuss our research on what makes data
>> reusable in practice. This is informed by a synthesis of literature on the
>> topic, our studies on how people evaluate and make sense of data, and a
>> case study on datasets on GitHub. In the case study, we describe a corpus
>> of more than 1.4 million data files from over 65,000 repositories. Building
>> on reuse features from the literature, we use GitHub’s engagement metrics
>> as proxies for dataset reuse and devise an initial model, using deep neural
>> networks, to predict a dataset’s reusability. This demonstrates the
>> practical gap between principles and actionable insights that might allow
>> data publishers and tool designers to implement functionalities that
>> facilitate reuse.
