4. ArcGIS
What is ArcGIS?
An application which enables you to…
- perform deep analysis
- gain a greater understanding of your data
- make more informed high-level decisions
Population Atmospheric
Crime rate 3D Display
rate Pressure

5. ArcGIS Editor for Open Street Maps
The ArcGIS Editor for OpenStreetMap is…
A free, open source add-on for ArcGIS for Desktop
Resources and Tools
- A big geodatabase
- Service editing
- Editing, Analysis, and Transformation tools
- Network tools

6. ArcGIS Editor for OSM
Desktop Component

7. ArcGIS Editor for OSM
– Desktop Component
Workflow
Download Data from OSM using given tools
Edit OSM data on ArcGIS for Desktop
Upload OSM data to OSM
Specify Extent Edit
Load OSM Data Analyze
Upload
Open Street Map ArcGIS for Desktop

8. Overview of the Desktop Editor Toolset
Ver.2.1
Beta only
 Create OSM Network Dataset
– Transforms a geodatabase of OSM data into a network
dataset
 Download, Extract, & Symbolize OSM Data
– Downloads OSM XML, transforms into geodatabase,
and symbolizes the data
Ver.2.0 only
 Download OSM Data (XAPI)
– Creates a .osm file based on your specifications
 Load OSM File
– Loads an .osm file into a geodatabase
 Upload OSM Data
– Uploads edits you make back to OSM

9. Do I need an internet connection?
 To connect to OSM and get/contribute data: Yes
 To do editing/analysis workflows with the data: No
– Download the data you need
– Edit, analyze, network-route, load .osm file…
– Sync back to OSM when internet connection is available
again

10. ArcGIS Editor for OSM
Server Component

11. ArcGIS Editor for OSM
– Server Component
Create feature services based on OSM Data
Consume service
Apply custom in device of choice
symbology
Create service
Specify extent
ArcGIS for Server

12. Feature Service – create interface

13. Simple Sample Editor
can be consumed for editing in…
- map viewers
- javascript editors
- mash-up applications
possible to edit the shape by
moving the nodes, shown here
in gray and white

14. ArcGIS Editor for OSM
Key features

15. A Really Big File Geodatabase
 Capability to store .osm planet files for the entire
planet.
After 1089 hours 23 minutes 0 seconds…
The ArcGIS Editor for OSMʼs “Load OSM File”
tool completed to translate the .osm file for the
entire planet into one (really big) geodatabase
- points, lines, and polygons
Geodatabase
!
Polygons
Lines
Points

16. More…
 Host machine specs:
- 4GB RAM,
- lots of disk space … about 280GB (and
another 280 for the source file)
- the faster the disk, the better
 Since download, waiting for license
redaction period to complete before syncing
with DIFF files
 You can own this geodatabase
– send us an ftp location.
Contact cwhite@esri.com

17. The value?
Roads
Services Buildings
Amenities
Sync geodatabase with OSM
= latest updates to features in services,
= latest info in mapping apps that consume them
Ability to contribute edits back to OSM through
feature services as well
Get updates out quickly, informing users with the
latest

18. Network tools

19. New Capability for network analysis
[Create OSM Network Dataset] tool New!
With this tool, you can…
- Create a network in a place where
transportation connectivity changes often
- Translates a geodatabase based on
OSM data into a Network Dataset

20. ArcGIS Editor for OSM
Effective Usage

21. When to use the ArcGIS Editor for
OSM?
 Lots of great tools for editing OSM – see
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editor_usage_stats
 Use ArcGIS Tools When…
– You have existing data you want to contribute
– You want to create your own .osm file based on specific
extent and/or features
– You want to use editing / analysis tools on OSM data
– You want to create a Network from OSM data
– You want to work with OSM data in a points-lines-polygons
model
– You want to create your own feature services (as we just
discussed)

22. When not to use the ArcGIS Editor for
OSM?
 ArcGIS Editor for OSM tools are well-suited for…
data
editing
analysis
contributing
existing geodatabase
datasets workflows
Creating custom
Very powerful!
models/services
But overkill for some workflows
 Many existing tools allow you to add points quickly
from a browser – if you only need this functionality,
use the browser-based tools

23. Summary
Strength of ArcGIS Editor for OSM
1) connect to OSM and get vector data for anywhere
in the world
2) contribute your existing data/datasets to OSM
3) use any of the tools native to ArcGIS for Desktop for
data editing, analysis, routing, etc. on OSM data
4) load .osm files into vector data that can then be
used in ArcGIS
5) create custom feature services based on OSM
data, which can be consumed on a variety of
mobile clients.

24. Case Examples

25. In what situation, can we use ArcGIS
Editor for OSM?
OSM
download OSM data Use Load OSM File tool update
and analysis. your city
locations of Hiking trails/mountain mapping
power lines climbing route communities

26. Crisis Analysis using ArcGIS Editor for
OSM

27. Takeaways

28. Takeaway: We want to provide you
with tools to support powerful
communication, editing, and analysis
workflows with OSM
