The issue is not about getting user input, but how to handle this input. \r\n\r\nHow does an authority know which user input is good input and which user input is not. \r\nHow does an authority make sure that the user input that he's getting does not mess up his data. \r\n\r\nIn our conversations with different authorities we've concluded that if you get the same user input multiple times, it must be good. But what number of inputs does an authority need to make this conclusion?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/geo4web-testbed/topic2/issues/comments/179816525","html_url":"https://github.com/geo4web-testbed/topic2/issues/5#issuecomment-179816525","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/geo4web-testbed/topic2/issues/5","id":179816525,"user":{"login":"ndkv","id":778666,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/778666?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ndkv","html_url":"https://github.com/ndkv","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ndkv/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ndkv/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ndkv/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ndkv/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ndkv/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ndkv/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ndkv/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ndkv/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ndkv/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-04T12:51:33Z","updated_at":"2016-02-04T12:51:33Z","body":"I'd say it depends a lot on the amount and frequency of input you get from users. In theory the idea of letting citizens contribute to your data is very appealing. In practice, however, I expect the majority of datasets to get very little traffic. People have, most of the time, other stuff to do and in case they decide to map something I expect them to go to OpenStreetMap whereas non-tech/mappy citizens will probably use an existing channel such as phonenumber, the municipal VerbeterDeBuurt clone, etc. \r\n\r\nIt might therefore be more sensible to investigate how/if it is possible to couple existing feedback systems to your system and make it easier for the authority to process them. With low amounts of traffic you'd be able to check the correctness of the input manually or, if that's not possible, regard it as an indication of change rather than as input of new \"world truth\"."}}
