For me it looks more like the second definition. The OSM "reference map" shows data with a minimal pre-processing with errors visible.
Mappers (people contributing to OSM data) usually do not produce their own map, so they only check on OSM their contributions. Cartographers (people producing maps from OSM data) may compare their own map to make sure they did not miss something. 2013/8/30 Sandor Seres <[email protected]> > Hi, > during the latest discussion-wave related to the default rendering stiles > someone (I think Peter K.) used the notion "reference map" for the OSM > Slippymap.
