In this particular case, the new mapper changed the building outline to <br>
the top view base on aerial imaging, which was quite different from the <br>
footprint due to parallax. As far as I can find, the changeset has been <br>
reverted based on mutual consent between the two mappers. But I don't if <br>
the difference between the top view on aerial imaging and the foot print <br>
was explained to the new mapper.<br>
<br>
Mapping discussions like these are inevitable in OSM, independent <br>
whether the data comes from government data or not. The quality of the <br>
government data in the Netherlands is very good. But if we are aware <br>
that the government data is incorrect, we put the correct data in OSM <br>
and inform the municipality so they can update their database. The <br>
response differs between municipalities, but is generally improving.<br>
<br>
One thing that we might improve in our presentation of government data <br>
is to take the 'under investigation' flag into account and present this <br>
information to the mappers. Unfortunately that field is currently not <br>
available in the official WFS service.<br>
