Session
As essential as it is to increase map data on OpenStreetMap, it is equally important to increase the quality of data produced by contributors. This is necessary due to the increasing number of OSM contributors ranging from YouthMappers to country-specific OSM members. Using OpenStreetMap Ghana and the University of Ghana YouthMappers as a Case Study, this session seeks to discuss the challenges of increased quantity but less quality map data by beginner mappers, the measures put in place to address this as well as guidelines and shortcuts for beginners to produce quality Map data on OpenStreetMap.
This session will highlight, 'A Node At A Time'.
