International Conference on Location-based Social Media Data
Athens, Georgia, USA. March 13-14, 2015
http://research.franklin.uga.edu/iclsm
In the era of big data, increasingly sizeable datasets come from social
media, particularly location-based social media, in the form that is
widely known as user-generated contents. Many social media datasets are
made available at the finest spatial and temporal scales. The
availability of such data creates unprecedented opportunities for
researchers to uncover what were previously hidden in the era of small
data. What kind of new research questions may be addressed with the
available social media data? What are the social, ethical, and political
implications of the wide use of social media platforms and the
availability of such data? Particularly, what can geographers,
GIScientists, and social scientists in general, contribute in response
to the unique research opportunities and challenges with social media data?
This conference is designed to bring together researchers from various
fields and perspectives to share ideas and findings of their research
related to social media data. The aim is to provide a forum for
participants to reflect upon what has been accomplished and to discuss
what can be pursued in the future. We look forward to your participation!
