Towards quality metrics for OpenStreetMap [PDF]
Proceedings of the 18th SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems, 2010 Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) is currently a "hot topic" in the GIS community. The OpenStreetMap (OSM) project is one of the most popular and well supported examples of VGL Traditional measures of spatial data quality are often not applicable to OSM as in many cases it is not possible to access ground-truth spatial data for all regions ...

Multi-Parameter Estimation of Average Speed in Road Networks Using Fuzzy Control
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2020 Average speed is crucial for calculating link travel time to find the fastest path in a road network. However, readily available data sources like OpenStreetMap (OSM) often lack information about the average speed of a road.

The OpenStreetMap folksonomy and its evolution [PDF]
Geo-spatial Information Science, 2017 The comprehension of folksonomies is of high importance when making sense of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), in particular in the case of OpenStreetMap (OSM). So far, only little research has been conducted to understand the role and the evolution of folksonomies in VGI and OSM, which is despite the fact that without a comprehension of the ...

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2018 Drainage networks allow the extraction of topographic parameters that are useful for basins characterization and necessary for hydrologic modelling. One way to obtain drainage networks is by their extraction from Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). However,

Cartographic Vandalism in the Era of Location-Based Games—The Case of OpenStreetMap and Pokémon GO
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2020 User-generated map data is increasingly used by the technology industry for background mapping, navigation and beyond. An example is the integration of OpenStreetMap (OSM) data in widely-used smartphone and web applications, such as Pokémon GO (PGO),
