Abstract
Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) is currently a
“hot topic” in the GIS community. The OpenStreetMap
(OSM) project is one of the most popular and well supported
examples of VGI. Traditional measures of spatial data quality
are often not applicable to OSM as in many cases it
is not possible to access ground-truth spatial data for all
regions mapped by OSM. We investigate to develop measures
of quality for OSM which operate in an unsupervised
manner without reference to a “trusted” source of groundtruth
data. We provide results of analysis of OSM data
from several European countries. The results highlight specific
quality issues in OSM. Results of comparing OSM with
ground-truth data for Ireland are also presented.
