[Gfgi] cfp: Special Issue "GeoWeb 2.0" of ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information

[Alexander Zipf]

/Dear colleages/

We invite you to submit papers to a special issue of the ISPRS 
International Journal of Geo-Information on the topic of GeoWeb 2.0.

The advancement of Internet technology is constantly changing the way 
geographic information is being collected, managed, processed, analyzed, 
and used. While a first wave of innovation has transformed Geographic 
Information Systems into Geographic Information Services, a second 
paradigm shift has recently been observed. This paradigm deals with 
crowdsourcing and the collaborative generation of geographic 
information. Such collaboration includes volunteered information from 
Web 2.0 communities (such as OpenStreetMap), as well as the not 
necessarily "volunteered" traces users leave behind in a connected 
world, where physical and virtual activities blend more and more as a 
result of the increasingly ubiquitous mobile web. These new big data 
sources pose technical challenges that need to be addressed, but they 
also provide opportunities to analyze and use geographic data in 
unforeseen ways.

This special issue shall explore new trends in how the production and 
usage of geographic information are being transformed through the 
changes being induced by new Web technologies and their shifting usages. 
We are looking for original scientific contributions discussing how 
internet technologies relate to the way we create and handle geographic 
information, and how these relations are transformed into innovative 
applications. We encourage papers across disciplines and desire the 
presentation of different perspectives. Disciplines and topics include, 
for example, computer science or GIScience, as applied to the future of 
geographic information on the Web, as well as the potentials and 
challenges presented by such applications.
