ID
iD is a web-based geographic information system tool and vector map editor designed for the OpenStreetMap collaborative database. It serves as a crowdsourced cartography interface for contributors to update global geographic infrastructure and land use data.
The tool enables the modification of geographic shapes, attributes, and metadata directly within a web browser. It focuses on managing spatial data and physical landmarks by manipulating topological relationships between map nodes, ways, and relations.
The project covers a broad range of capabilities including collaborative map editing, geographic information management, and the general editing of geographic data.
Features
- Crowdsourced Map Editing - Implements a crowdsourced system for community members to collaboratively build and update a global map.
