[OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap Population inconsistencies report by Kontur

[Maarten Deen]

It is difficult to look for specific data because the list is so long. It would be easier if the list would be limited to the lower admin level at first and the higher admin levels were hidden and you can expand the list to see them.
And I would also include the country. It is likely that people will look at their country first and presently there is no indication of that.

Also it is not easily recognizable if the sum is above or below the list. I am used to the sum being below the list that is summed and this is the other way round. Making the sum with a different markup would also help.

Regards,
Maarten

> Hello everyone,Here at Kontur (http://kontur.io/ ) we’ve built the OpenStreetMap Population inconsistencies report https://disaster.ninja/active/reports/osm_population_inconsistencies as part of our work on improving population density dataset https://data.humdata.org/dataset/kontur-population-dataset. Kontur Population is used in Disaster Ninja https://disaster.ninja/active/ tool actively used by Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team to find data gaps in OpenStreetMap. Recently we’ve made a talk about it on HOT Summit: https://youtu.be/YRaVa9_6-Dk.
> The report indicates potential errors in OpenStreetMap population key values, for example when a country’s population is smaller than the sum of its regions’ population.We’ve presented the report in OpenStreetMap US slack channel https://osmus.slack.com/archives/C029HV951/p1637608417037100, gathered useful feedback and made some improvements accordingly. We want your comments and input too!We’ve also set up a data team https://wiki.opeestreetmap.org/wiki/Kontur to work on fixing the existing inconsistencies and consider it necessarily to inform the community about our activity.
