Leaflet is a JavaScript library used to build web mapping applications. It allows developers without a GIS background to display tiled web maps hosted on a public server, with optional tiled overlays. It can load feature data from GeoJSON files, style it and create interactive layers, such as markers with popups when clicked.
OpenStreetMap (abbreviated OSM) is a free, open geographic database updated and maintained by a community of volunteers via open collaboration. Contributors collect data from surveys, trace from aerial photo imagery or satellite imagery, and also import from other freely licensed geodata sources.
The OpenStreetMap Foundation (abbreviated OSMF) is a non-profit foundation whose aim is to support and enable the development of freely-reusable geospatial data.

The data is taken from open data sources, such as OpenStreetMap and NASA, and from purchased proprietary data sources, such as DigitalGlobe. [26][27] The technology is based on Node.js, [28] Mapnik, GDAL, and Leaflet. Mapbox uses anonymized data from telemetry pings, such as Strava and RunKeeper, to identify likely missing data in OpenStreetMap with automatic methods, then manually applies the ...
This is a tutorial for creating interactive maps on Wikipedia for shapes using OpenStreetMap data, available on a compatible Open Database License. This is applicable for creating maps of neighborhoods, parks, historic districts, campuses, and most other present-day sites. For maps of lines (transit routes, roads, etc.), see Wikipedia:Creating route maps from OpenStreetMap data .
Online maps can be basically divided by the covered area (global or local) and by the representation of this area (classic drawn or orthophoto).
Tile Map Service or TMS, is a specification for tiled web maps, developed by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. The definition generally requires a URI structure which attempts to fulfill REST principles. The TMS protocol fills a gap between the very simple standard used by OpenStreetMap and the complexity of the Web Map Service standard ...
