volume shared on already established and new Volunteered
Geographic Information (VGI) and social media platforms calls for
advanced analysis methods of user contribution patterns, leads to
continued challenges in data fusion, and provides also new
opportunities for rapid data analysis for event detection and VGI
data quality assessment. Questions regarding the future of VGI and
social media platforms include the prospect of continued user
growth, engagement of new user groups, further expansion of VGI to
educational activities, or closing data gaps in geographically
underrepresented areas.</p>

platform to discuss future challenges of VGI and social media, may
it be on the legal or technical side, to formulate a vision for
VGI and social media usage and analysis for the near future, and
to live demonstrate analysis workflows and VGI applications.</p>
