What We Do
What We Do
DWG 1: Hybrid GIS Platform
The Working Group 1 (WG-1) of UN Open GIS Initiative aims to provide a full scale of Hybrid GIS Solutions for UN Secretariat, including UN field missions and regional commissions, and then expand to UN agencies, UN operating partners, and developing countries. Hybrid approach will effectively support UN operations through integrating Geo-Databases and complementing systems to support various UN requirements.
DWG 2: Capacity Building
One of the UN Open GIS Initiative goals is to identify and develop an open-source GIS bundle that meets the requirements of UN operations, taking full advantage of the expertise of the Organization’s partners.
DWG 5: GEOAI and Geo-Analytics
The demand for the analytical geospatial information products, image analysis and interpretation for monitoring, situational awareness, reporting, planning and decision-making processes at the United Nations is growing. Thus, the provision of accurate and timely satellite imagery, thematic and analytical products without applying innovative methods and technology presents challenge.
DWG 6: OpenDroneMap and 3D
'OpenDroneMap and 3D' working group is the 6th domain working group (DWG) of the UN Open GIS Initiative. It aims to search for open source software used to build 3D data from video or imagery data captured by mobile or aerial devices such as drones and mobile phones, and tests the software in the field.
DWG 7: Smart Maps
The UN Smart Maps Group (SMG) is the 7th domain working group (DWG) of the UN Open GIS Initiative. SMG is designed to be an open community of practice (CoP) with the vision "keep web maps open" and the mission "test new technologies for future geospatial operations''. SMG is participated by many talented volunteers from private sector, academia, and public sector, but we would like to have wider participation especially from young professionals, large language model (LLM) users, and even LLMs!
