Abstract
A method and system for assessing the quality of location content is disclosed. The method includes evaluating the quality of location content based on who provided the content, the accuracy of the location data associated with the content, the integrity of the content, and when the content was provided. As a result of the evaluation, a quality score is generated. The quality score provides an indication of the reliability of the location content. The quality score may be updated when a change is made to the content.

17. A system for providing an indication regarding reliability of information provided to the system, comprising:
-
a user interface that allows a user to provide information regarding a location; a data store that stores the information regarding the location; and a content quality system that evaluates the stored location information based on at least four factors and generates at least one quality score associated with the location information, wherein a first factor is associated with who is the user, wherein a second factor is associated with data regarding where the location is geospatially located, wherein a third factor is associated with what information the user provides, and wherein a fourth factor is associated with when the user provided the information. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
