Main Topic
This week we share some of our thoughts on issues related to geospatial data, including questions of data authority and how we can or should develop mechanisms for data review. Some of our inspiration for this brief conversation comes from Matt Ball’s Vector1 post asking the question – “Is it time for an impartial auditing board on spatial data accuracy?”
