The document discusses the concept of social geosemantics and its implications for political and strategic trends. Social geosemantics refers to applying semantic web technologies to allow free and open participation in mapping and annotating places on platforms like Google Earth and Maps. This mass participation in validating place meanings can challenge traditional definitions of territories by allowing new territories to be created and defined by social consensus rather than official sources. With large numbers of people able to believe in and describe alternative territorial configurations, social geosemantics may one day empower communities to judge international boundary conflicts based on their mapped annotations of places.

This document discusses the emergence of mapping and geospatial data on the web without centralized authorities or credentials. It notes how open source mapping allows for "bottom-up" and crowdsourced maps that challenge traditional top-down maps. Some key aspects covered include the rise of map mashups and volunteered geographic information, challenges around standards and coherence of crowdsourced data, and issues of censorship, the digital divide and net neutrality.
GIS 2.0: Impacts on Humanitarian Affairs and Genocide Studies
This document summarizes a guest lecture on how GIS 2.0 impacts humanitarian affairs and genocide studies. GIS 2.0 is defined as incorporating web 2.0 principles of openness, collective intelligence and network effects into geographic information systems. This allows for ubiquitous communication through wireless networks and cloud computing. Examples are given of how crowdsourcing through OpenStreetMap helped relief efforts in Haiti, and how virtual globes like Google Earth can integrate qualitative and quantitative data to study issues like genocide. The conclusion is that GIS 2.0 provides a framework to better understand humanitarian crises by combining different data sources.
GeoInt Crowdsourcing Presentation
Crowdsourcing involves distributing tasks traditionally done by specific agents to a distributed group of people through an open call. It includes volunteered geographic information where individuals voluntarily provide geographic data, and participatory sensing where mobile devices form networks for individuals to gather and share local knowledge. Crowdsourcing provides benefits like gamification, community impact, and career opportunities, and is used for applications like mapping, crisis response, product testing, and gathering real-time energy and transportation data. Issues include ensuring quality, authority, and consistency as knowledge is gathered from diverse non-experts.

Evolution of GIS Technologies in a Web 2.0
The document discusses the evolution of geographic information systems (GIS) and their relationship to social web technologies. It provides a brief history of GIS, from early mapping efforts to modern systems created in the 1960s-1990s by ESRI. It then discusses how GIS provides data that can be used to create mashups and geospatial applications on the social web. One example discussed is extending wiki systems to allow users to geographically tag and edit map data, creating a "wikified" GIS archive. The document concludes that GIS serves as a backend for geospatial applications on the social web by allowing users to collaboratively contribute and update map layers.

Crowd Sourcing
Crowd sourced maps rely on volunteers to help identify features using online tools and satellite images. Examples include identifying Martian craters for NASA, searching satellite images to find Steve Fossett's missing plane, and creating maps during disasters like Hurricane Katrina to share local information. Mobile devices allow real-time crowd sourced data through social media like Twitter to map things like snow levels. While crowd sourcing has great potential, challenges exist with ensuring full coverage over time and maintaining accuracy of the data.

State of the Map Asia (SotM-Asia) is the annual regional conference of OpenStreetMap (OSM) organized by OSM communities in Asia. First SotM-Asia was organized in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2015, and the second was organized in Manila, Philippines in 2016. This year’s conference, third in the series, was organized in Kathmandu, Nepal on September 23 – 24, 2017 at Park Village Resort, Budhanilkantha, Kathmandu, Nepal.
We brought nearly 200 Open Mapping enthusiasts from Asia and beyond to this year’s SotM-Asia. The event provided an opportunity to share knowledge and experience among mappers; expand their network; and generate ideas to expand map coverage and effective use of OSM data in Asian continent. We chose ‘from creation to use of OSM data’ as the theme of this year’s conference, emphasizing on the effective use of OSM data. We also brought together a government panel from four different countries in this year’s SotM-Asia. We believe this event will deepen the bond and enhance collaboration among OSM communities across Asia.

This document discusses six forms of crowdsourcing that could be applied to urban planning: 1) Distributed data collection, 2) Soliciting design solutions, 3) Collective intelligence, 4) Peer production of public goods, 5) Collective Intelligence Genome, and 6) "Open Innovation" Technology. It notes that while these approaches have the potential to engage the public, they also have naïve views of government that could lead to libertarian ideals if not implemented carefully. New technologies should be considered as part of planning, but traditional institutions still need to be involved to ensure proper social and political outcomes.

This document summarizes a research paper that assesses the quality of the primary route network in OpenStreetMap across urban areas in Africa. It compares the positional accuracy and completeness of OpenStreetMap data in Maiduguri, Nigeria; Freetown, Sierra Leone; and Nairobi, Kenya against a reference dataset. The results found the positional accuracy of routes in OpenStreetMap to be within 8.5-13 meters on average. Completeness was highest in Freetown at 98% and lowest in Maiduguri at 64%. Overall, the study finds OpenStreetMap may provide an alternative source of road data across African urban areas.

Open Access to Multi-Domain Collaborative Geospatial Analysis - AGU 2009
This document discusses open access to multi-domain collaborative analysis of geospatial data through the internet. It talks about open data from various sources like government, public, enterprise, mobile, and sensor data. It proposes combining geoscience and the web to make data accessible, meaningful, explorable, and collaborative. It envisions mobile globes and geolocated information to better serve areas with limited internet access. Finally, it discusses aspects of collaborative GIS like communication, cooperation, coordination, and collaboration to encourage cross-organizational sharing and analysis of geospatial data.
Spatial Technology Resources for Teachers
The document provides a list of free spatial technology platforms and interactive mapping websites that can be used in geography lessons. It includes platforms to view and manipulate data like ArcExplorer and Google Earth, as well as interactive mapping sites from organizations like Geoscience Australia and National Geographic. The list also covers remote sensing sources like satellite imagery from NASA and the USGS that allow students to analyze changes in the earth's surface over time.
Geospatial data projects
Geospatial technology, which combines location data with other information and was introduced in the 1980s, allows visualization, measurement, and analysis of Earth-based features using GPS, GIS, and RS. The current geospatial project is Sky Cube, a nanosatellite proposed by Tim DeBenedictis that would take Earth images from space and share them on social media to further public knowledge of location-based technologies and their potential for addressing issues like climate change, disease tracking, and cultural connections.
Federal Crowdsourcing and Citizen Science

Introduction to Humanitarian OpenStreetMap TeamInternational Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
This introduction was given at the International Humanitarian Technology Conference. http://ihtc.ieee.ca/ . This workshop session was run with Samuel Paul Alce and Pierre Beland of HOT OSM.
Summary: Since the Haiti earthquake in 2010, new partners support the UN Agencies and International organizations through the Web 2.0 or Collaborative Web. OpenStreetMap is one of these community of volunteers. It has shown on several occasions its ability to mobilize hundreds of contributors and support remotely, providing maps and services necessary for such actions. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) makes the bridge with the humanitarian organizations.
In this session, we will discuss open source methods for humanitarian technology. The workshop will include an overview of Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team’s (HOT) activities, some of the tools and best practices. We will include stories of activations around the world from Indonesia to Haiti to Philippines and the DRC. Our session also includes hands on training from HOT community leaders. Join us and learn about new methods in digital and in-person responders using OpenStreetMap.

Governing landscapes towards multifunctionality – Contradictions, Tensions & ...
This document discusses multifunctional landscapes and their governance. It addresses tensions between viewing multifunctionality as overlapping existing landscape qualities or a new paradigm. It also discusses scaling issues and potential synergies or conflicts between landscape functions. The document outlines three research implications: inventorying landscape functions and demands, analyzing interrelations and conflicts between functions, and addressing decision-making processes to achieve consensus on land use combinations. It proposes that polycentric governance and institutional bricolage may provide theoretical contributions. The document then shifts to discussing a case study on the institutional dynamics of land tenure change in West Pokot, Kenya.

Maps tell stories and help people understand their relationship to place. They can be used to provide historical context on a local level and make spatial archives more accessible when combined with open, accessible data and tools for analysis. By enabling collaborative sharing, automatic metadata generation, and treating maps as social objects, more developers, researchers, organizations and citizens can analyze and contribute to our understanding of the built environment and human geography.

Geographical information system : GIS and Social Media
Geographical Information System (GIS) is a system for capturing, storing, analyzing and managing data which is spatially referenced to Earth. GIS allows users to correlate geographic and attribute information to better understand relationships and patterns. Key applications of GIS include urban planning, transportation, education, government, marketing and more. The rise of social media and location-based services has led to a convergence of GIS and social media, allowing analysis of social networks and interactions tied to physical locations over time. This new development enables deeper understanding of human behavior patterns across communities.
The New Cartographers - Liu and Palen
The document discusses the rise of crisis map mashups created by non-professional cartographers, or "neogeographers". It analyzes nine crisis map mashups to understand emergent neogeographic practices in crisis mapping. The mashups were created in diverse circumstances and combine multiple data sources into interactive maps representing hazards and disasters spatially and temporally. Analysis of the mashups illustrates how participatory and professional mapping technologies are merging, providing opportunities to expand cartographic literacy.

The Politics of Web Space Richard Rogers
This document discusses different conceptualizations of the politics of web space over time. In the early "hyperspace period", individual websites were mapped by analyzing their inlinks and outlinks to show associations between sites. Later, the web was seen more as a public sphere and cluster maps showed issue networks. Currently, location data grounds the web in physical geography. The politics of inclusion and authority are seen in search engine rankings and directory listings.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
