- Basic address coverage
How far along are we?
How do we know?
What if things change?

Mid-term goals
- Verify OSM road network.
- Generate quality metrics for OSM roads in Belgium
- Publish false positives
Do this is in the open, use open-source tools and open-data so everyone can run their own!
Who's the best?
What's the best way to work together?
A validated Road Registry is easier to listen to
From Flanders to the world
Not just powered by tech

Tools for governments
-
Message feed about missing roads in government data in your commune
-
Validate Wegenregister with OpenStreetMap
- Quality metrics of Wegenregister
Validate traffic signs
And use open street view platforms together
Why?
Trust!
Imagine
- A costless (or very cheap) datasource.
- Quality checked and verified.
- Almost always up-to-date.
- Still community-driven!
Who can compete with this?
(almost) nobody
Commercially available data?
We
are
winning!
