Did you know #OpenStreetMap can cover indoor areas too?
This is Gregory's attempt to map some of the rooms and corridors of Abertay University, which will host the #sotmeu25 conference next month.

He's used the "Simple Indoor Tagging" schema to describe the spaces, and it's being rendered by the "Indoor=" website.
wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Si
indoorequal.org/#map=18.39/56.

A better and more complete example is the Meadowhall shopping centre in Sheffield. indoorequal.org/#map=16/53.413=

@sotmeu it's not great. Maybe I'll improve it before the conference begins, or maybe some other mappers will help me.

There's also an amount the rendering on indoor= could be improved. Corridors don't have an outline, so doors between them seem to float. Entrances to the building are not shown, and only some are wheelchair accessible.

Great attempt! I once tried myself at indoor mapping of an hospital and had to desist, this is a bit too complicated to get nice and moderately accurate.
I'd start one side, do everything as accurately as possible and things would not line up for the life of me.
