vgi and ugc: uses, barriers and topics
DESCRIPTION
This talk, held at the COST ENERGIC Working Group 3 Workshop, May 26, 2014, presents some example use cases for crowdsourced spatial data, highlights some barriers for adoption in industry and the public sector and finishes in more general terms with topics that would be of interest and an outlook on developments in conjunction with the concept of opening up (public administration's) data.TRANSCRIPT

Barriers to adoption
Unfamiliarity
(Unclear) licensing
- What happens to derived products?
Informal nature of content:
- Spam, offensive content – in some settings
Spatial heterogeneity Use by officials

Barriers to adoption
Built-in biases, (perceived) qualityissues
SLAs vs. undocumented, inofficial, deprecated APIs
Comparison with / availability of official data
Complexity

What would be of interest?
In general, topics where:
no (or bad) official data exists
said data is prohibitively expensive
data has to be comparable across borders
we are interested in informality

What would be of interest?
Examples:
Movement data- Mode of transport
- Metrics
- Socio-demography
- Purpose, goal
Pooled near-realtime data- Event detection, e.g. damage assessment wrt insurance
claims
- Emergency operations

Maybe a «Trojan horse» for VGI/UGC?
Administrations familiarise themselveswith the «open» movement
OGD is not perfect triggers feedbackand interaction between stakeholders
… and OGD?
