Anyone with Internet access via computer or mobile devices now has the ability to display geospatial data and voluntarily add information without the help of a GIS expert. This user created geospatial content has been named Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) by Goodchild [2007a]. The concept and its implementation present a combination of potential and risks, which now must be considered. This study aims primarily at detecting, and presenting schematically, the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats of VGI as a resource for Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) in the North and South contexts. We explore how the integration of VGI with official information can be a powerful source of novel data that can be included in SDIs. We analyse the VGI potential in developing countries, especially in areas where reliable spatial data is scarce and the digital divide is more delineated. We suggest that the use of VGI technology can be capitalised upon by building SDIs, and we conclude with a number of suggestions for further research.
