In this article we utilize a novel procedure to identify such large‐scale data production events in the history of OpenStreetMap and analyze their patterns. We find that events account for a significant share of OpenStreetMap data and that organizational practices have shifted over time towards local knowledge‐based events and well‐organized data imports. However, regions in the “Global South” remain dependent on remote mapping events, pointing to uneven geographies of representation. We also find that events are frequently followed by periods of increased activity, with the exact nature of effects depending on contextual elements such as previous events. These findings portray organized activities as a significant and unique component which requires consideration when using OpenStreetMap data and analyzing their quality.

An exploratory analysis of usability of Flickr tags for land use/land cover attribution / Yingwei Yan in Geo-spatial Information Science, vol 22 n° 1 (March 2019)

Ten types of LULCs were derived from the authoritative dataset. It was observed that certain types of the reclassified LULCs had abundant tags (e.g. the parks) or a high tag density (e.g. the commercial lands), compared with the less populated ones (e.g. the agricultural lands). Certain highly weighted terms of the tags derived based on a term frequency–inverse document frequency weighting scheme were helpful for identifying specific types of the LULCs, especially for the commercial recreation lands (e.g. the zoos). However, given the 10 sets of tags retrieved from the corresponding 10 types of LULCs, one set of tags (all the tags located at one specific type of the LULCs) could not fully delineate the corresponding LULC due to semantic overlaps, according to a latent semantic analysis.

OpenStreetMap data quality enrichment through awareness raising and collective action tools—experiences from a European project / Amin Mobasheri in Geo-spatial Information Science, vol 21 n° 3 (October 2018)

The European project CAP4Access is one of the successful examples of such international-wide research projects that aims to improve the accessibility of people with restricted mobility using crowdsourced data. In this project, OpenStreetMap (OSM) is used to extend OpenRouteService, a well-known routing platform. However, a basic challenge that this project tackled was the incompleteness of OSM data with regards to certain information that is required for wheelchair accessibility (e.g. sidewalk information, kerb data, etc.). In this article, we present the results of initial assessment of sidewalk data in OSM at the beginning of the project as well as our approach in awareness raising and using tools for tagging accessibility data into OSM database for enriching the sidewalk data completeness. Several experiments have been carried out in different European cities, and discussion on the results of the experiments as well as the lessons learned are provided. The lessons learned provide recommendations that help in organizing better mapping party events in the future. We conclude by reporting on how and to what extent the OSM sidewalk data completeness in these study areas have benefited from the mapping parties by the end of the project.

3D WebGIS : from visualization to analysis. An efficient browser-based 3D line-of-sight analysis / Michael Auer in ISPRS International journal of geo-information, vol 7 n° 7 (July 2018)

An efficient browser-based 3D line-of-sight analysis Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Michael Auer, Auteur ; Alexander Zipf, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géomatique web [Termes IGN] analyse spatiale [Termes IGN] base de données localisées 3D [Termes IGN] HTML [Termes IGN] ligne de visée [Termes IGN] optimisation (mathématiques) [Termes IGN] visualisation 3D [Termes IGN] webGL [Termes IGN] WebSIG Résumé : (Auteur) 3D WebGIS systems have been mentioned in the literature almost since the beginning of the graphical web era in the late 1990s. The potential use of 3D WebGIS is linked to a wide range of scientific and application domains, such as planning, controlling, tracking or simulation in crisis management, military mission planning, urban information systems, energy facilities or cultural heritage management, just to name a few. Nevertheless, many applications or research prototypes entitled as 3D WebGIS or similar are mainly about 3D visualization of GIS data or the visualization of analysis results, rather than about performing the 3D analysis itself online. This research paper aims to step forward into the direction of web-based 3D geospatial analysis. It describes how to overcome speed and memory restrictions in web-based data management by adapting optimization strategies, developed earlier for web-based 3D visualization. These are applied in a holistic way in the context of a fully 3D line-of-sight computation over several layers with split (tiled) and unsplit (static) data sources. Different optimization approaches are combined and evaluated to enable an efficient client side analysis and a real 3D WebGIS functionality using new web technologies such as HTML5 and WebGL.

Assessing spatiotemporal predictability of LBSN : a case study of three Foursquare datasets / Ming Li in Geoinformatica, vol 22 n° 3 (July 2018)  

Public [article]  inGeoinformatica > vol 22 n° 3 (July 2018) . - pp 541 - 561 Titre : Assessing spatiotemporal predictability of LBSN : a case study of three Foursquare datasets Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ming Li, Auteur ; Rene Westerholt, Auteur ; Hongchao Fan, Auteur ; Alexander Zipf, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp 541 - 561 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Analyse spatiale [Termes IGN] comportement [Termes IGN] jeu de données localisées [Termes IGN] modèle de simulation [Termes IGN] prévision [Termes IGN] réseau social géodépendant [Termes IGN] ville Résumé : (Auteur) Location-based social networks (LBSN) have provided new possibilities for researchers to gain knowledge about human spatiotemporal behavior, and to make predictions about how people might behave through space and time in the future. An important requirement of successfully utilizing LBSN in these regards is a thorough understanding of the respective datasets, including their inherent potential as well as their limitations. Specifically, when it comes to predictions, we must know what we can actually expect from the data, and how we could maximize their usefulness. Yet, this knowledge is still largely lacking from the literature. Hence, this work explores one particular aspect which is the theoretical predictability of LBSN datasets. The uncovered predictability is represented with an interval. The lower bound of the interval corresponds to the amount of regular behaviors that can easily be anticipated, and represents the correct predication rate that any algorithm should be able to achieve. The upper bound corresponds to the amount of information that is contained in the dataset, and represents the maximum correct prediction rate that cannot be exceeded by any algorithms. Three Foursquare datasets from three American cities are studied as an example. It is found that, within our investigated datasets, the lower bound of predictability of the human spatiotemporal behavior is 27%, and the upper bound is 92%. Hence, the inherent potentials of the dataset for predicting human spatiotemporal behavior are clarified, and the revealed interval allows a realistic assessment of the quality of predictions and thus of associated algorithms. Additionally, in order to provide further insight into the practical use of the dataset, the relationship between the predictability and the check-in frequencies are investigated from three different perspectives. It was found that the individual perspective provides no significant correlations between the predictability and the check-in frequency. In contrast, the same two quantities are found to be negatively correlated from temporal and spatial perspectives. Our study further indicates that the heavily frequented contexts and some extraordinary geographic features such as airports could be good starting points for effective improvements of prediction algorithms. In general, this research provides novel knowledge regarding the nature of the LBSN dataset and practical insights for a more reasonable utilization of the dataset.
