The Milky Way Mapper of the SDSS-V will survey more than one million stars in the Milky Way providing a wealth of information about the chemical composition of our Galaxy. That information however can only be accurate and precise if validated against a set of reference stars. At UDP we lead the assembly and analysis of such validation stars, as well as the efforts to ensure that among these stars, some are also observed by other spectroscopic surveys such as 4MOST, WEAVE and DESI. This will ensure proper comparisons among the data of the different surveys.
