This paper investigates the influence of presenting volunteered and professionally created geographic information to 101 wheelchair users through an interactive website that included information collected by wheelchair-using volunteers. The aim of this experiment was to understand the influence that (1) knowing a map-based website contains volunteered information and (2) actually including volunteered information within an online interactive map (a mashup) have on the perceived trust of the…

Amateur or Professional: Assessing the Expertise of Major Contributors in OpenStreetMap Based on Contributing Behaviors
TLDR
Investigating the contributing behaviors of these contributors to deduce whether they are actually professionals shows that most major contributors in Germany, France and the United Kingdom are hardly amateurs, but are professionals instead.
The design of civic technology: factors that influence public participation and impact
TLDR
A mixed-methods study of a civic tech platform that enabled the public to provide feedback on public transport to the service providers found it to be an effective and easy-to-use civic technology platform that enables broad participation.
Areal Delineation of Home Regions from Contribution and Editing Patterns in OpenStreetMap
TLDR
This research explores the editing history of nodes and ways for 13 highly active OSM members within a two-tiered clustering process to delineate an individual mapper’s home region from remotely mapped areas.

Analyzing the Uncertainty of Degree Confluence Project for Validating Global Land-Cover Maps Using Reference Data-Based Classification Schemes
TLDR
An informative classification scheme that uses a matrix structure of unaggregated land- cover and land-use classes, and has the potential to assist in the land-cover interpretation and validation processes is proposed.
Active Learning with Unsupervised Ensembles of Classifiers
TLDR
Uncertainty sampling, with different uncertainty measures, is evaluated for data selection, while an online expectation maximization algorithm is derived to estimate model parameters on-the-fly.

The credibility of volunteered geographic information
TLDR
This essay situates concerns with regard to the quality, reliability, and overall value of volunteered geographic information (VGI) as issues of information and source credibility.
How Good is Volunteered Geographical Information? A Comparative Study of OpenStreetMap and Ordnance Survey Datasets
TLDR
Analysis of the quality of OpenStreetMap information focuses on London and England, since OSM started in London in August 2004 and therefore the study of these geographies provides the best understanding of the achievements and difficulties of VGI.
Information quality assessment of community generated content: A user study of Wikipedia
TLDR
The analysis shows that the attributes that most frequently assisted the users in deciding about the quality of the items were not unique to Wikipedia: attributes such as amount of information, satisfaction with content and external links were mentioned frequently, as with other information quality studies on the web.

Capturing Volunteered Information for Inclusive Service Design: Potential Benefits and Challenges
TLDR
The concept of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) is presented as an integral part of future inclusive services and has the potential to provide a better match between user needs and service delivery, and enable the successful longer-term evolution of services.
Can we Trust Information ?-The Case of Volunteered Geographic Information
TLDR
It is asserted that the traditional quality criteria for assessing the quality of geographic information are difficult to apply to Volunteered Geographic Information and the notion of informational trust is introduced and linked to the established notion of interpersonal trust.
Assessing Completeness and Spatial Error of Features in Volunteered Geographic Information
TLDR
This paper proposes a method for quantifying the completeness and accuracy of a select subset of infrastructure-associated point datasets of volunteered geographic data within a major metropolitan area using a national geospatial dataset as the reference benchmark with two datasets from volunteers used as test datasets.
