An interesting update from Germany – a first prototype is available for entire Germany – Integration of OpenStreetMap and Digital Elevation Models and their use by means of interoperable GI-Web Services- In the context of the research project ‘Geodata Infrastructure 3D’ the open geodata of OpenStreetMap (OSM) and the elevation data of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) were used for the development of a 3D Geodata Infrastructure (GDI-3D) based on open web service standards of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). Entire Germany was used for a first test case. A Web 3D Service (OGC W3DS) is providing the data as a 3D scene graph to the client.
