*WORKSHOP OVERVIEW *

The number of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and social media 
platforms is continuously growing, providing massive datasets of 
georeferenced content that is either

actively contributed (e.g. adding data to OSM, Mapillary, or Flickr) or 
collected through

more passive modes (e.g. enabling geolocation in Twitter feeds). Whereas 
contribution

behavior for individual crowdsourcing applications has already been 
extensively analyzed in

the literature, it is less understood if and how users participate in 
several crowd sourcing

activities. Hence several research questions relevant to a better 
understanding of community involvement in data contributions have 
evolved. These include for example, whether activity spaces in different 
sources are spatially co-located or spatially distinct for individual 
contributors, or whether contributor communities evolve across 
platforms. As an example, users started to cross-link data from 
different platforms, e.g. by mapping OSM point of interests (POIs) and 
street features (e.g. street lamps, sidewalk information) based on 
Mapillaryphotographs, or by tagging Flickr pictures with OSM tags.

This workshop provides an opportunity for interested researchers to 
share ideas and findings on cross-platform data contributions. One 
portion in the workshop is dedicated to a hands-on session. In this 
session, basics of spatial data access through selected APIs and the 
extraction of summary statistics of the results will be illustrated.

*TOPICS*

The workshop shall focus, but is not limited to, the following topics 
and areas of research:

●User contribution patterns and data sharing across multiple VGI and 
social media platforms

●Accessing and visualization of VGI data from various platforms

●Understand differences in spatial/temporal coverage of contributions to 
different platforms

●Understanding how data are linked across different VGI/social media 
platforms

●What types of communities are evolving and emerging from VGI/social 
media platforms

●Investigating how cross-linked data are used in real-world applications

●Describing the effects of the growing number of VGI and social media on 
data quality and user behavior

●Assess the quality of cross-linked VGI

●Identifying current research questions and an emerging research agenda
