[OSM-talk] Research survey on bots and automated edits

[john whelan]

For the purposes of the survey could you define an automated edit please.

JOSM for example makes suggestions in the validator.  One might be area=yes
is unnecessary on a building=yes.

Would accepting JOSM's suggestion to fix the error meet your definition?

Does any import of open data meet your definition?

Sometimes knowing the subject matter and having clear definitions before a
survey can assist in the accuracy.

Many thanks

Cheerio John
