Data quality is fundamental for communities, governments, aid organizations, and other end-users benefiting from open mapping data. But as the Wikipedia of maps, that anyone can contribute to, how do we ensure that the data is accurate and clear before it gets to end-users in the community, government, and aid and humanitarian aid agencies.

• How do we define and assess data quality?
• What aspects of data quality are most important to end data users? (Level of detail vs. precision vs. completeness vs. consistency.)
• What are approaches to creating data quality, such as validation, tools like Maproulette, and the training of mappers?
• What tools and technologies help create data quality?
• How do we institutionalize data quality in workflows and culture?
• How do we train mappers and foster long-term mappers who create quality data?
• How do we recruit, train, and retain validators?
