Abstract: An approach is provided for comparing and assimilating road lane representations. The approach, for example, receiving two cartographic feature representations (e.g., digital road lane representations). The approach also involves computing a geometric similarity between the cartographic representations. The approach further involves processing attribute data associated with the cartographic feature representations to determine a semantic relationship between the representations. The approach further involves generating a recommendation with respect to assimilating the representations based on the geometric similarity and the semantic relationship, and providing the recommendation as an output.

Abstract: System and methods are provided for predicting a roadway feature. A geometric pattern in a roadway network is selected. The geometric pattern comprises one or more first links and one or more first nodes. A similar pattern to the geometric pattern is identified that comprises one or more second links and one or more second nodes in the roadway network. One or more features for the geometric pattern are identified. An absence of a feature in the similar pattern is determined based on the one or more features for the geometric pattern. A notification relating to the absence of the feature is generated.
