What does this mean and can MappingDC (https://mappingdc.org) help in any way?

Hi @openbrian ,
Above you can find local data for road geometry/road name and oneway for Washington DC metro area. We sent email to the data owner to ask his permission to use this data to improve OSM, please find his answer above. We intend to process this data with Cygnus+, a tool that can compare any tags from local data to the ones in OSM, and outputs a changefile with the difference. The information that we obtain from this process are road name ( modified and new) and oneway. For road name we double check with Tiger and for oneway with OSC, Mapplilary and Aerial Imagery. Here you can find more informations about the data processing with Cygnus+. About Mapping DC, any help is welcome.
Thanks, Teodora
If you create a job in MapRoulette or Task Manager I can farm it out to about 10-20 DC mappers.
Hi @openbrian
I will return with an output by the end of the week. Thank you for your involvement
Hi @openbrian,
I created two MapRoulette chalenges. This challenge is for missing names: http://maproulette.org/mr3/browse/challenges/3103. This challenge is for missing road geometry : http://maproulette.org/mr3/browse/challenges/3104. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Hi @openbrian
The missing name challenge is already edited, so I close it. If you want the missing road geometry challenge is ready to edit: http://maproulette.org/mr3/browse/challenges/3104.
We are considering using this dataset for our future edits in Washington DC metro area:
