2nd CALL FOR PAPERS
AGILE 2016 Pre-Conference Workshop
Link-VGI: LINKing and analyzing Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI)
across different platforms
http://www.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/gis/link_vgi.html
*WORKSHOP OVERVIEW*
The number of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and social media
platforms is continuously growing, providing massive datasets of
georeferenced content that is either actively contributed (e.g. adding
data to OSM, Mapillary, or Flickr) or collected through more passive
modes (e.g. enabling geolocation in Twitter feeds). Whereas contribution
behavior for individual crowdsourcing applications has already been
analyzed in the literature, it is less understood if and how users
participate in several crowd sourcing activities. Hence several research
questions relevant to a better understanding of community involvement in
data contributions have evolved. These include for example, whether
activity spaces in different sources are spatially co-located or
spatially distinct for individual
contributors, or whether contributor communities evolve across
platforms. As an example, users started to cross-link data from
different platforms, e.g. by mapping OSM point of interests (POIs) and
street features (e.g. street lamps, sidewalk information) based on
Mapillary photographs, or by tagging Flickr pictures with OSM tags.
This workshop provides an opportunity for interested researchers to
share ideas and findings on cross-platform data contributions. One
portion in the workshop is dedicated to a hands-on session. In this
session, basics of spatial data access through selected APIs and the
extraction of summary statistics of the results will be illustrated.
*TOPICS*
The workshop shall focus, but is not limited to, the following topics
and areas of research:
● User contribution patterns and data sharing across multiple VGI
and social media platforms
● Accessing and visualization of VGI data from various platforms
● Understand differences in spatial/temporal coverage of
contributions to different platforms
● Understanding how data are linked across different VGI/social
media platforms
● What types of communities are evolving and emerging from
VGI/social media platforms
● Investigating how cross-linked data are used in real-world
applications
● Describing the effects of the growing number of VGI and social
media on data quality and user behavior
● Assess the quality of cross-linked VGI
● Identifying current research questions and an emerging research
agenda
