Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for determining a consensus value for an attribute of a map feature, the method executed by a computer system, comprising: receiving a plurality of proposed values for the attribute of the map feature, each proposed value provided by a user; iteratively determining for each user proposing a value in the plurality of proposed values a first score indicative of an accuracy of the user until the difference between the determined first scores determined in two successive iterations is below a pre-defined threshold; iteratively determining for each proposed value in the plurality of proposed values a second score indicative of a probability that the proposed value is a correct value for the attribute until the difference between the determined second scores determined in two successive iterations is below a pre-defined threshold and wherein the second score is based at least in part on the first score for each user proposing the proposed value; determining from the plurality of proposed values a consensus value for the attribute, by: storing the consensus value of the attribute.
