To comprehensively evaluate the spatial data quality of OpenStreetMap data across multiple core dimensions of geographic information quality.
Assessed spatial data quality elements, including geometric accuracy, attribute accuracy, semantic accuracy, temporal accuracy, logical consistency, completeness, lineage, and usage.
Applied a range of quality control methodologies to evaluate contributor-generated vector spatial data across France.
Spatial data quality exhibits pronounced heterogeneity across contributor inputs, driven by varying production processes and disparate mapping scales.
Dataset reliability faces persistent challenges regarding compliance with standardized specifications, underscoring the tension between contributor autonomy and data quality control.
