In 2008–2009, the island itself was claimed by both Kenya and Uganda.In July 2009 a survey team found that the island is 510 metres (1,670 ft) east of the Kenya–Uganda border within the lake, a finding supported by openly available Google Earth imagery.
The OpenStreetMap (OSM) project completed the move from a Creative Commons license to ODbL in September 2012 [4] in an attempt to have more legal security [5] and a more specific license for databases rather than creative works.
JOSM (listen ⓘ) (Java OpenStreetMap editor) is a free software desktop editing tool for OpenStreetMap geodata created in Java, originally developed by Immanuel Scholz and currently maintained by Dirk Stöcker. [5] The editing tool contains advanced features [6] that are not present in OSM's default online editor, iD.
The ODbL does not require any particular license for maps produced from ODbL data. Prior to 1 August 2020, map tiles produced by the OpenStreetMap Foundation were licensed under the CC-BY-SA-2.0 license. Maps produced by other people may be subject to other licences.
Prior to iD, the primary web editor for OpenStreetMap data was the Flash-based Potlatch 2 editor. The iD editor project was founded by the author of Potlatch 1 and 2, Richard Fairhurst, online on July 13, 2012 and at the State of the Map conference on October 14, 2012. [5]
Openness: Using OpenStreetMap ensures that all data gathered under the project banner will be free, open and available for use under OpenStreetMap's open license. [9] Collaboration: All local mapping and data collection is to be done in collaboration with local people and in a respectful manner at all times. [10]
Note: OpenStreetMap is an open wiki that relies on the contributions of its editors for much of its cartography, even if some geographic data is based on other reliable sources. That means it is a self-published source and should not be used as a source in our articles.
Weather reconnaissance aircraft, such as this WP-3D Orion, provide data that is then used in numerical weather forecasts.. The atmosphere is a fluid.As such, the idea of numerical weather prediction is to sample the state of the fluid at a given time and use the equations of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to estimate the state of the fluid at some time in the future.
