Abstract
OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative project to create a
free editable map database of the world. This paper presents an analysis
of the evolution of OSM street network representations. Three urban
areas in Ireland were analysed where each evolves from containing little
street network detail to a highly detailed street network. In order to
characterise this evolution a number of metric and topological characteristics
were computed. Some characteristics exhibited broadly similar
behaviour in each region. This may be a attributed to similarities in
the degree of contributor activity and intrinsic universal mapping procedures
exhibited by contributors.
