Following #415 (in particular this post), @MelanieLowe and I proposed a series of responses that we could recommend when issues are identified with representation of urban features when conducting validation following analysis using our software:
- Exceptions: Allow exceptions for specific regions for criteria within their configuration file
- Contributions: Encourage contributions to OpenStreetMap where more comprehensive tagging would be appropriate
- Customisation: Allow configuration of custom data
- Methodological: Modify the default ways of identifying features of interest, following sensitivity analyses to understand implications for a range of urban contexts to be sure that this provides a net improvement
- Acknowledgement: Acknowledge specific issues as limitations when reporting data
Approaches 1 and 3 can be better supported, and once this typology of approaches is agreed upon, we should add it into the FAQ (https://healthysustainablecities.github.io/software/#Frequently-Asked-Questions).
