Enhancing the Quality of Place Resources in Geo-folksonomies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Users’ interaction and collaboration on Web 2.0 via social bookmarking applications have resulted in creating a new structure of user-generated data, denoted folksonomies, where users, Web resources and tags generated by users are linked together. Some of those applications focus on geographic maps. They allow users to create and annotate geographic places and as such generate geo-folksonomies with geographically referenced resources. Geo-folksonomies suffer from redundancy problem, where users create and tag multiple place resources that reference the same geographic place on the ground. These multiple disjointed references result in fragmented tag collections and limited opportunities for effective analysis and integration of data sets. This paper, (1) defines the quality problem of resources in a geo-folksonomy (2) describes methods for identifying and merging redundant place resources and hence reducing the uncertainty in a geo-folksonomy, and (3) describes the evaluation of the methods proposed on a realistic sample data set. The evaluation results demonstrate the potential value of

متن کاملDynamic Place Profiles from Geo-folksonomies on the GeoSocial Web
The growth of the Web and the increase in using GPS-enabled devices, coupled with the exponential growth of the social media sites, have led to a surge in research interest in Geo-folksonomy analysis. In Geo-Folksonomy, a user assigns an electronic tag to a geographical place resource identified by its longitude and latitude. The assigned tags are used to manage, categorize and describe place r...

The groundwater quality research is one of the important and its pollution control was included insome research literatures. Ground water quality has spatial and temporal variation so classical statisticscould not account these variations at the regional scale researches. This study usedgeo-statisticalmethodsto optimize an interpolation method in order to estimate the spatial distribution of pH...
متن کاملTrend of Groundwater Quality Changes, Using Geo Statistics (Case Study: Ravar Plain)
Groundwater aquifers are an important source of water supply for agriculture, industry and drinking. The present study investigates the changes in the quality of groundwater using geostatistical methods in the Ravar plain during a 10-year period. In this study, after selecting the appropriate spatial interpolation method to draw water quality parameters such as TDS, SAR and EC, zoning maps of R...
