Achieving Digital Prosperity In Latin America
With Open Source Geospatial Technology
Tyler Bird: Community Development Strategist
CartoDB’s Flavor of Digital Prosperity:
• Openness: Open Source + Open Data = Open Government and Open
Access to technology.
• Open source software is software in which the source code used to create the
program is freely available for the public to view, edit, and redistribute.
• Confidence: Leveraging Technology and Location Intelligence to
inspire confidence in business, government, service provision
• Entrepreneurship: Enabling anyone with internet and a computer
with the power of maps and data visualization
Spatial
Databases
“A spatial database, or geodatabase is a
database that is optimized to store and query
data that represents objects defined in a
geometric space.”
CartoDB uses PostgreSQL, a powerful, open
source object-relational database system. It has a
proven architecture with a strong reputation for
reliability, data integrity, and correctness
“SQL (Structured Query Language) is a
standard interactive and programming language
for getting information from and updating a
database.”
How It Is Done
Data Importing and Storage = Import API (ogr2ogr) and PostgreSQL
database
Data Manipulation and Spatial Analysis = SQL API and PostGIS
Location Data Services = Data Services API
Maps and Tiling = Maps API
User Interaction = CartoDB.js (built on Leaflet)
Native Mobile Support = CartoDB Mobile SDK (Nutiteq)
DATA!

IT IS INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT TO MAKE RAPID
SENSE OF COMPLEX AND SOPHISTICATED DATA...
MAPS!
THE PRESENT AND FUTURE OF INNOVATION LIES IN
OPEN SOURCE TECHNOLOGY.
● AGILE, ADAPTIVE, AND EASY TO INTEGRATE
● SUPPORTED BY STRONG COMMUNITY
● INSPIRES INNOVATION AND NEW TECHNOLOGY
To be used by Governments to share information with their citizens
To Empower Citizens to make better decisions that can make
them safer, more informed, more innovative and more successful
in business
The green on avenues are those with the average price per square meter below the
average district in white are average , yellow up to 50 % higher light red between 50% and
100 % more expensive and dark red above 100 % of the average neighborhood.
Digital Prosperity goes beyond accessibility.
Governments, citizens and businesses must be able to
leverage technology to improve their lives, improve the way
they communicate with others, understand the world better,
and build new things….together!
