Description

This blog post https://overturemaps.org/blog/2023/april-overture-release/ mentions "We put the data through several validation checks".

First question: What are the current quality and consistency checks? Is there documentation about this somewhere? If not, can you mention some checks here?

Second question: In case of OSM as source, are the issues found directly corrected in OSM (if yes: under which accounts) - or at least reported back to the OSM community, e.g. to OSMCha?

Research direction

Start with the linked Overture Maps release blog post and investigate where the current quality and consistency checks are described or implemented. Document the checks, then determine how issues from OSM are corrected or reported, including any OSM accounts or OSMCha references; done means these answers are documented clearly.
