Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

With the success of the Web 2.0 paradigm and the associated increase in the use of smartphones (equipped with position sensors), citizens are increasingly actively and passively producing valuable geographic information about places, here referred as POIs, in volunteered geographic information platforms and geo-social networks. The information contained in these platforms offer significant potential for leveraging existing and new geospatial applications relevant to society. However, because this geographic information is dispersed across different sources, each with its purposes, group of contributors, data characteristics, etc., approaches need to be developed for integrating this heterogeneous information and accounting for the issue of data quality. This project has set this as its goal contributing to covering this research gap. Furthermore, it attempted to relate the aspects of data integration and quality as dependent on the contributors’ profile (background, interests, expertise, etc.) and model this interplay through simulations based on empirical data. Different approaches based on graph-theory principles for integrating data from VGI and social media platforms were conceived, implemented and tested. However, due to persisting and imposed limitations on the access to the users’ profile information, we were obliged to adapt early approaches and, instead, estimate the reliability of geographic data from social media from the consistency of the user community and user-defined concepts (i.e. tags) associated to the posts, which has proven to be successful. The graph-based geo-data integration approach developed during this project found direct application in the system for the generation of pleasant pedestrian routes. In accordance with the open data principle and for the sake of reproducibility, our geo-data integration approach is available at a code sharing platform.
