From Global Maps To Local Meaning: Admin & Natural Features in Bing - Dami Onwah, Microsoft
Tuesday April 21, 2026 11:00 - 11:10 CEST
Global search products break down when they treat geography as a flat and uniform monolith. This session argues that administrative boundaries and natural features are not “background/secondary data”, but core product anchors that enable search products like Bing reason about Places the way users actually think (by country, region, colloquial area, or natural landmark). Drawing from Bing’s experience evolving its Admin & Natural Features layer, we show how a strong, consistent regional model can enable region specific queries, reduce market by market hacks, and unlock scalable relevance across the world. The talk reframes Admin & NF investment as a product decision, one that directly shapes user intent understanding, regional correctness, and long term search quality, rather than a purely infrastructural concern.

How Overture Helps GEM Perform Global Seismic Risk Analysis and How You Can Join In - Paul Henshaw & Marco Baiguera, Global Earthquake Model Foundation
Tuesday April 21, 2026 11:15 - 11:25 CEST
This presentation will outline how the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation is currently using Overture data to assess risk due to earthquakes and other natural hazards around the world, the limitations of currently available data, and potential opportunities for future improvements.

We will also present the outcomes of a workshop hosted by GEM earlier this year, bringing together organizations actively collecting and disseminating datasets regarding the built-up environment.

GEM has a number of open software tools, datasets and standards that can be used freely for risk analysis and we believe that there are a number of other organizations that might also be prepared to contribute their own tools, data and expertise.

We would like to use this presentation to invite other parties interested in working in Disaster Risk Reduction/Climate Adaption/Humanitarian Response and related fields to join us to explore ways in which we can collectively improve the Overture data ecosystem to reduce the barriers to risk analysis and risk reduction.
