ORION

ORION (Open Ready-for-INSPIRE OSM tiles for gvSIG Online) will deliver an open-source, self-hosted processing pipeline to generate and serve INSPIRE-aligned raster map tiles from OpenStreetMap data, fully integrated as a native module within the free/libre software gvSIG Online. The project closes the existing gap between the widespread use of OSM and the interoperability requirements of European public administrations and Spatial Data Infrastructures, enabling them to deploy sovereign, standards-compliant base maps without relying on proprietary services. ORION will provide ready-to-use INSPIRE-aligned cartographic styles, incremental update workflows that will ensure near real-time data freshness, reusable components and documentation, all released under libre and open licenses. By aligning OSM with INSPIRE and integrating the solution into a widely adopted open-source SDI platform, ORION strengthens the European digital commons, supports data sovereignty, and lays the groundwork for future innovations such as the adoption of vector tiles.
