Barriers to the Localness of Volunteered Geographic Information [PDF]
Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2015 Localness is an oft-cited benefit of volunteered geographic information (VGI). This study examines whether localness is a constant, universally shared benefit of VGI, or one that varies depending on the context in which it is produced. Focusing on articles about geographic entities (e.g. cities, points of interest) in 79 language editions of Wikipedia,
