Quality Assessment of the French OpenStreetMap Dataset

Jean‐François Girres, Guillaume Touya · 1 Aug 2010

Abstract The concept of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) has recently emerged from the new Web 2.0 technologies. The OpenStreetMap project is currently the most significant example of a system based on VGI. It aims at producing free vector geographic databases using contributions from Internet users. Spatial data quality becomes a key consideration in this context…

On the Use of Weighted Linear Combination Method in GIS: Common and Best Practice Approaches

Jacek Malczewski · 1 Jan 2000

The weighted linear combination (WLC) technique is a decision rule for deriving composite maps using GIS. It is one of the most often used decision models in GIS. The method, however, is frequently applied without full understanding of the assumptions underling this approach. In many case studies, the WLC model has been applied incorrectly and…

#Earthquake: Twitter as a Distributed Sensor System

Andrew Crooks, Arie Croitoru, Anthony Stefanidis et al. · 9 Oct 2012

Abstract Social media feeds are rapidly emerging as a novel avenue for the contribution and dissemination of information that is often geographic. Their content often includes references to events occurring at, or affecting specific locations. Within this article we analyze the spatial and temporal characteristics of the twitter feed activity responding to a 5.8 magnitude…

Using Ontologies for Integrated Geographic Information Systems

Frederico Fonseca, Max J. Egenhofer, Peggy Agouris et al. · 1 Jun 2002

Today, there is a huge amount of data gathered about the Earth, not only from new spatial information systems, but also from new and more sophisticated data collection technologies. This scenario leads to a number of interesting research challenges, such as how to integrate geographic information of different kinds. The basic motivation of this paper…

Extracting urban functional regions from points of interest and human activities on location‐based social networks

Song Gao, Krzysztof Janowicz, Helen Couclelis · 1 Jun 2017

Abstract Data about points of interest (POI) have been widely used in studying urban land use types and for sensing human behavior. However, it is difficult to quantify the correct mix or the spatial relations among different POI types indicative of specific urban functions. In this research, we develop a statistical framework to help discover…
