I don't know how the mechanics of it would work, but some kind of local accuracy index would be very useful in such broad maps.
Because the elephant in the room with most global dataset compilations is that the accuracy varies greatly from place to place. Some countries or regions have detailed data, others have generic or unclassified blobs. Some data is older, some is newer.
An ideal tool reduces the need for detailed provenance checking upon every usage.
