DM4VGI: A template with dynamic metadata for documenting and validating the quality of Volunteered Geographic Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) is a Web phenomenon known as “user-generated content”, which involves resources from Web 2.0 and geographic data. Geobrowsers are websites that collect and provide VGI. These systems, however, do not follow norms or standards for data collection or documentation, which makes it difficult to recover such data and limits the interoperability among VGI systems. In addition, the quality of the data collected by VGI systems has often been questioned. This paper proposes the DM4VGI, a template for creating dynamic metadata from volunteered geographic information provided by users through Geobrowsers or Virtual Globes. The DM4VGI is used to document and validate the quality of the VGI, as well as to facilitate data interoperability.

ClickOnMap: A Framework to Develop Volunteered Geographic Information Systems with Dynamic Metadata
Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) features a specific type of “user-generated content" that involves spatial data. Geobrowsers are environments that present spatial data dynamically and can be accessed through a compatible browser. A Geobrowser can own a collaborative Web system to collect VGI. This paper presents the ClickOnMap, a framework to develop collaborative environments in Geobr...

Land use change monitoring is one of the main concerns of managers and urban planners due to human activities and unbalanced physical development in urban areas. In this paper, a combination of remote sensing data and volunteered geographic information was used to assess the quality of volunteered geographic information on land use and land cover changes monitoring. For this purpose, the ORBVIE...
متن کاملTitle Not Required the Wikification of Geospatial Metadata
For decades, metadata has been the ever-present, cure-all solution to heterogeneous data integration and use. Yet, high-quality, ubiquitous metadata is extremely rare in practice. Current volunteered geographic information systems may provide insights on how the scientific community can produce and manage metadata for geospatial data infrastructures.

Open Street Map (OSM) is currently the largest collection of volunteered geographic data, widely used in many projects as an alternative to or integrated with authoritative data. However, the quality of these data has been one of the obstacles to the widely use of it. In this article, from among the elements related to the quality of volunteered geographic data, we have tried to examine the com...
