At State of the Map in Florence, HOT’s Data team, in collaboration with our Tech team, members of the Quality Assurance & Control working group, Training working group, and HeiGIT, organized several sessions focusing on identifying and addressing data quality issues in OpenStreetMap (OSM). The data quality discussion session was attended by 30 participants, representing diverse interests and organizations.
We asked the participants several questions and we were able to learn a lot from the discussion. Please check out our blog post for more details.

You can as well give us feedback on

  • Your definition of data quality.
  • Data quality questions.
  • Suggestions on improving OSM data quality.

Just for clarification, “members of the Quality Assurance & Control working group, Training working group, and HeiGIT” are all parts of HOT, yes?

No, some of the members of these working groups are representatives from the OpenStreetMap Communities from different countries, YouthMappers Chapters and other Open mapping communities

I suspect the question was more to clarify that OSM as a whole does not have a quality issue (not that everything is perfect naturally), but more that specific modes of operation by their very nature are prone to producing subpar contributions.
