Final PointsFinal Points
•Tags can greatly affect the quality of a VGI Map. •The loose structure of Feature extraction and attribution introduces errors.
• Errors are proportional to the tags’ population.
• The uncontrolled voting system deteriorates the overall quality of the OSM data.
• Errors or discrepancies in Features’ Tags can spread around.
• Formalization can be achieved under the hood.
