A PageRank-based Reputation Model for VGI Data

open access: yesProcedia Computer Science, 2016
AbstractQuality of data is one of the key issues in the domain of Volunteered geographic information (VGI). To this purpose, in literature VGI data has been sometime compared with authoritative geospatial data. Evaluation of single contributions to VGI databases is more relevant for some applications and typically relies on evaluating reputation of ...
