SPATIAL DEMOGRAPHIC DATA FOR PLANNING AND RESEARCH

Planning for Protected Areas Using Spatial and Temporal Metrics

Using Twitter data for demographic research

BACKGROUND Social media data is a promising source of social science data. However, deriving the demographic characteristics of users and dealing with the nonrandom, nonrepresentative populations from which they are drawn represent challenges for social scientists. OBJECTIVE Given the growing use of social media data in social science research, this paper asks two questions: 1) To what extent a...

Spatial Data Structures in Simulation and Planning

Many mission plans for aircraft (and other mobile objects) require detailed simulation for a rigorous analysis; automated generation of the plans themselves is also likely to require simulation. One of the problems encountered in simulating or planning an aircraft mission is the intersection of detection (or other) volumes|a standard problem in identiication, where the volumes represent error b...

Spatial Data Infrastructure for Ecological Research

The Biodiversity and Ecosystem Informatics Research Agenda (http://bio.gsfc.nasa.gov) notes current inability to compare data across spatial scales as a critical problem: “Biological data from different sources are frequently collected and presented in different scales and resolutions resulting in a loss of detail when multiple data sets are required for data synthesis and analysis.” The propos...

Towards Data Management Planning Support for Research Data

This paper outlines challenges and requirements for developing tools and services supporting automated generation, management, evolution, and execution of Data Management Plans (DMPs) by reviewing Research Data Management (RDM) processes represented by Knowledge-based and Process-oriented Innovation Management (German: Wissenbasiertes Prozess-orientiertes Innovationsmanagement, WPIM). Based on ...
