API description review finding #121
Description
Activity
Hi @MarkusKuemmerle. I have prepared a proposal for review by the Sub Project owners (@camaraproject/population-density-data_codeowners) based on the guidelines created by the Marketing team: https://lf-camaraproject.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CAM/pages/808452114/Population+Density+Data+API+description+v2
For Population Density Data, I suggest updating the API description to make it more developer-centric and focused on anonymized, aggregated population density estimations for a given area and time interval.
I also suggest positioning drone/SORA ground risk assessment as the primary use case, since it is the most differentiated and telco-specific scenario, while keeping emergency response, urban planning and event management as additional examples.
The proposal also updates the Use Cases and Benefits sections, includes the requested capitalization change to “Operational Efficiency”, and recommends replacing the current image with a workflow-style visual showing drone route planning using Population Density Data before flight authorization.
The visual should represent the flow from defining a flight area and time window, calling the API through Open Gateway, receiving density estimations, and using the result to support safer flight decisions and ground risk assessment.
Suggested visual concept: “Drone route planning using population density before flight authorization”. The visual should show a simple developer workflow where a drone operator or U-space application defines a flight area and time window, calls the CAMARA Population Density Data API through Open Gateway, receives anonymized and aggregated grid/cell-based population density estimations, and uses them to decide whether to proceed with the planned route, choose an alternative route, change the time window, apply mitigations or reject the flight plan. The image should avoid individual tracking, people/device-level data or a generic city heatmap, and instead emphasize a privacy-preserving telco API supporting safer drone operations and SORA-related ground risk assessment.
Any comments on the new version? @sachinvodafone, @maheshc01

Problem description
CAMARA Outreach team is reviewing all API descriptions on the CAMARA website using a checklist.
Possible evolution
In case of findings an issue is opened to ask the Sub Project to enhance the API description in the Wiki, and then open an issue at the Marketing repo so that the Outreach team then can update the website.
Alternative solution
