Open Semantic Interchange – Spatialists – geospatial news

#OpenSemanticInterchange (#OSI) is a new vendor-neutral initiative aiming to standardise how semantic #metadata is shared across #analytics, #AI, and #BI platforms using #YAML — with #CARTO among its working group members. If adopted, it could meaningfully change how semantic layers work across the #data stack.

Feb 9 → May 19, 2026.

100 consecutive days of GIS, 3D maps, WebGL, client work, experiments, and spatial storytelling.

I collected the full campaign in an interactive calendar:
https://maptheclouds.com/100-day-map-challenge/stats/

The campaign is complete. I’m open to selective collaborations on spatial platforms, 3D visualization, and interactive mapping systems.

Geoinformation chatbot for the canton of Berne – Spatialists – geospatial news

The canton of Berne has launched a #chatbot on their geoinformation portal that lets users ask questions about available cantonal #geodata and its #metadata in natural language — in German, French, English, and more. It is not (yet?) a ‘talk to the map’ solution, but a discovery tool for navigating the website and finding data.

Navigation assumptions challenged – Spatialists – geospatial news

A new study challenges the assumption that pedestrians wish for turn-by-turn navigation, showing many prefer a simple route preview, without losing performance or spatial awareness. Paired with contrasting ideas from 3D navigation design, it’s a reminder that the “right” level of guidance depends less on technology and more on context and user needs.
