Recently, the use of electric vehicles in a power grid has been attracting attention. The success vehicle-grid integration (VGI) requires active participation not only VGI service providers but also vehicle owners, utility companies, and government service. However, until now, such research sufficiently discussed. Thus, we propose framework for analyzing economic environment which each stakehol...

Currently we encounter two trends within the broader GI community: one is the move to web-based applications based on open standards as defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) resulting in more flexible and interoperable solutions. The other is the raise of the prosumer-oriented GeoWeb2.0, with its user generated content. Goodchild (2007) gives an overview of these global collaborations...

With the increasing success and commercial integration of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), the focus shifts away from coverage to data quality and homogeneity. Within the last years, several studies have been published analyzing the positional accuracy of features, completeness of specific attributes, or the topological consistency of line and polygon features. However, most of these s...

High availability and diversity make Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) an interesting source of information for an increasing number of use cases. Varying quality, however, is a concern often raised when it comes to using VGI in professional applications. Recent research directs towards the estimation of VGI quality through the notion of trust as a proxy measure. In this chapter, we inve...
