# Validation | ||
|
||
Validation is the final step of the mapping process. It is necessary | ||
to ensure good quality data. Validation requires a slightly different | ||
skill set than just being a good mapper. Being an experienced mapper is | ||
a good start of course. | ||
|
||
For Tasking Manager, validators review the work of the remote | ||
mappers. It is not unusual that features get misidentified by the | ||
mappers due to poor imagery. Validators have much experience with | ||
identifying obscure buildings types in different countries. | ||
|
||
Being a validator is more than being a mapper. As a person dealing | ||
with quality issues, a validator is also a mentor to other mappers, | ||
improving their skills as well. Mentoring of course requires an | ||
ability to communicate mistakes with empathy and understanding, as we | ||
all make mistakes... | ||
|

* After you’ve had some experience mapping, you may find yourself | ||
correcting other contributors work. [/MissingMaps_validation_faq_en.pdf](https://www.missingmaps.org/assets/downloads/MissingMaps_validation_faq_en.pdf) | ||

* Before validating the work of others, you should be an experienced | ||
mapper yourself. [Validating_Data_EN.pdf](https://www.missingmaps.org/assets/downloads/Validating_Data_EN.pdf) | ||
|
||
* Mappers wishing to become validators should take time to become | ||
experienced at mapping and learn what validation entails before | ||
submitting an application. [validators-experienced-mappers-making-an-outsized-difference/](https://www.hotosm.org/updates/validators-experienced-mappers-making-an-outsized-difference/) | ||

* Validation is the process of an experienced mapper reviewing the | ||
mapping of the initial mapper of a project task. [Validation](https://learnosm.org/en/coordination/validation/) | ||
|
||
* In OpenStreetMap anyone can validate as long as they do not validate | ||
their own work. However, they can validate another mapper's | ||
contributions. [Validating Data](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tasking_Manager/Validating_data) | ||
|
||
* Mappers that wish to become validators must have experience with | ||
tracing and tagging complex features in OSM, outstanding image | ||
interpretation skills, a positive attitude and manner towards other | ||
users, and a willingness to learn new software. [Validation | ||
