Comparison of Volunteered Geographic Information Data Contributions and Community Development for Selected World Regions
Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) projects and their crowdsourced data have been the focus of a number of scientific analyses and investigations in recent years. Oftentimes the results show that the collaboratively collected geodata of one of the most popular VGI projects, OpenStreetMap (OSM), provides good coverage in urban areas when considering particular completeness factors. However...
متن کاملVolunteered geographic information, community engagement and bushfire preparation
Volunteered geographic information (VGI) refers to the widespread engagement of citizens in the creation of geographic information, often through social media, smartphones and online mapping tools. It represents a shift in the ways information is created, shared, used and experienced, and has important implications for disaster management. This research examines the potential role of VGI in fos...
متن کاملVolunteered Geographic Information and GIScience
What are the research questions posed by Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI)? Does Geographic Information Science (GIScience) appropriately address them or does it need to shift its attention? I discuss changes to current research agendas, propose an arising grand challenge, and outline some specific new research challenges for scientists working within and outside GIScience.
متن کاملValidation of Volunteered Geographic Information Landuse Change Using Satellite Imagery
Land use change monitoring is one of the main concerns of managers and urban planners due to human activities and unbalanced physical development in urban areas. In this paper, a combination of remote sensing data and volunteered geographic information was used to assess the quality of volunteered geographic information on land use and land cover changes monitoring. For this purpose, the ORBVIE...
متن کاملSemantic Referencing of Geosensor Data and Volunteered Geographic Information
Georeferencing and semantic annotations improve the findability of geoinformation because they exploit relationships to existing data and hence facilitate queries. Unlike georeferencing, which grounds location information in reference points on the earth’s surface, semantic annotations often lack relations to entities of shared experience. We suggest an approach to semantically reference geoinf...
