DESCRIPTION:As OpenStreetMap becomes more mature and complete\, the challen
 ges now lie in ensuring data quality. Mappers may receive customised feedb
 ack on their contributions\, and data reusers are seeking greater confiden
 ce in the information they rely on.\n\nOver the past year\, we at [MapYour
 Grid](https://mapyourgrid.org/) have been working on assessing and improvi
 ng the quality of power infrastructure data in OpenStreetMap. This work re
 lies on existing quality assurance and monitoring tools\, such as [Osmose]
 (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmose) and [Podoma](https://wiki.ope
 nstreetmap.org/wiki/Podoma)\, with a quality comparison approach through a
  new platform\, [GridInspector](https://mapyourgrid.dynartio.com/gridinspe
 ctor.html).\n\nWith this talk\, we aim to share with the community how we 
 built a coherent quality assurance strategy. We will present our experienc
 e combining multiple tools\, and show how automation can support continuou
 s monitoring and business-grade consistency testing.\nWe will also explore
  what comes next: moving towards a highly automated quality assessment pro
 cess for power infrastructure data. This includes leveraging Earth observa
 tion data and designing human-in-the-loop validation processes to balance 
 automation with local knowledge and mapper expertise.\nWhile intended with
  power infrastructure data in mind\, the methods we present are designed t
 o be broadly used in many fields. Thus this presentation won’t be dedica
 ted to the power infrastructure topic but only use it as an example. In fa
 ct\, we would love to discuss with the community how these tools and metho
 ds can be replicated to other fields (i.e. assessing data quality for wate
 rways or road and urban infrastructures).   \n\nAttendees will leave with 
 practical insights on building a QA strategy\, leveraging existing tools m
 ore effectively\, and designing feedback loops that benefit both contribut
 ors and data reusers.
