  5. 3. Exploring Massive Volunteered Geographic Information for Geographic Knowledge Discovery

    Author : Jia Tao; Jiang Bin; Harrie Lars; KTH; []
    Keywords : VGI; OSM; Geographic knowledge discovery; Zipf’s law; Urban sprawl;

    Abstract : Conventionally geographic data produced and disseminated by the national mapping agencies are used for studying various urban issues. These data are not commonly available or accessible, but also are criticized for being expensive. However, this trend is changing along with the rise of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI).
