What Volunteered Geographic Information is (good for) - designing a methodology for comparative analysis of existing applications to classify VGI and its uses

2010 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2010
Volunteered Geographie Information (VGI) is the harnessing of tools to create, assemble, and disseminate geographie data provided voluntarily by individuals [6], and is regarded by the authors as an important component of Community Remote Sensing. What is currently lacking is a systematic framework that classifies the myriad of VGI products and sources.

A Comparison of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) Collected in Rural Areas to VGI Collected in Urban and Suburban Areas of the United States

2017
Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) is being collected worldwide and may be a source for authoritative data providers such as national mapping organizations. In order to evaluate the usability of these data as part of an authoritative dataset, it is first necessary to understand the quality and reliability of the data.

A discussion for integrating INSPIRE with volunteered geographic information (VGI) and the vision for a global spatial-based platform

Fifth International Conference on Remote Sensing and Geoinformation of the Environment (RSCy2017), 2017
INSPIRE is the EU’s authoritative Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) in which each Member State provides access to their spatial data across a wide spectrum of data themes to support policy making. In contrast, Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) is one type of user-generated geographic information where volunteers use the web and mobile devices to
