Abstract
A system and method provide functionality for collecting user update reports of geographic inconsistencies between geographic data and the real world to enable automated processing of updates to the geographic data. A user'"'"'s input is collected and describes an anomaly, which is a geographic inconsistency between geographic data and the real world. The user'"'"'s input is stored as language neutral structured data that enables automated processing of updates to the geographic data. Automatic processes that process the structured data include an email agent, an incident agent, a geographic augmentation agent, a case generation agent, a clustering agent, an automatic validation agent, and a monitoring service. Automatic and manual processes combined together handle processing of anomalies, as well as other related processing, and ultimately handle processing of updates to the geographic data to resolve the anomalies reported by the users.

16. A computer-implemented method for collecting a user'"'"'s reports of geographic inconsistencies between geographic data and the real world to enable automated processing of updates to the geographic data, the computer-implemented method comprising:
providing the user with an interface to identify a location of an anomaly, wherein the anomaly comprises a geographic inconsistency between geographic data and the real world; and
providing an interface to the user enabling the user to select an anomaly type from a finite set of anomaly types to describe the anomaly at the location.
