A Survey of Volunteered Open Geo-Knowledge Bases in the Semantic Web [PDF]
in Quality Issues in the Management of Web Information, ISRL 50,
pp. 93-120, Springer, 2013, 2014 Over the past decade, rapid advances in web technologies, coupled with innovative models of spatial data collection and consumption, have generated a robust growth in geo-referenced information, resulting in spatial information overload. Increasing 'geographic intelligence' in traditional text-based information retrieval has become a prominent approach

On Quantifying Qualitative Geospatial Data: A Probabilistic Approach [PDF]
Proceeding GEOCROWD '13 Proceedings of the Second ACM SIGSPATIAL
International Workshop on Crowdsourced and Volunteered Geographic Information
Pages 71-78 ACM New York, NY, USA \c{opyright}2013 table of contents ISBN:
978-1-4503-2528-8, 2013 Living in the era of data deluge, we have witnessed a web content explosion, largely due to the massive availability of User-Generated Content (UGC). In this work, we specifically consider the problem of geospatial information extraction and representation, where one can exploit diverse sources of information (such as image and audio data, text data ...

Volunteered Geographic Information
, 2020 Volunteered geographic information (VGI) is spatial data that are gathered and shared by individuals to derive information about the world. VGI has largely been embraced due to the pervasiveness of mobile devices and affordances offered by the locational sensors that are housed within them.

A city of cities: Measuring how 15-minutes urban accessibility shapes human mobility in Barcelona [PDF]
, 2021 As cities expand, human mobility has become a central focus of urban planning and policy making to make cities more inclusive and sustainable. Initiatives such as the "15-minutes city" have been put in place to shift the attention from monocentric city configurations to polycentric structures, increasing the availability and diversity of local urban ...
