Questioning Big Data: Crowdsourcing crisis data towards an inclusive humanitarian response (2016, background): “For instance, the QuakeMap example shows that crowdsourcing of crisis information can result in data sets that reflect existing inequalities, especially digital divides (Crutcher and Zook, 2009; Elwood, 2007; Goodchild, 2007).”
Beyond the geotag: situating ‘big data’ and leveraging the potential of the geoweb (2013, background): “For instance, Elwood (2008) draws close parallels between the discourses around neogeogra-phy and those of the so-called GIS and Society debates of the 1990s (cf. Pickles 1995), in which a more socially conscious approach to GIS was thought to at least ameliorate the usually massive power…”
Mapping the Data Shadows of Hurricane Sandy: Uncovering the Sociospatial Dimensions of ‘Big Data’ (2014, background): “This critical approach to big data has been especially pronounced amongst those scholars studying the geographic contours of user-generated internet content, as notions of big data frequently incorporate elements of what have variously been called the geoweb or volunteered geographic information (Go”
Confronting the data-divide in a time of spatial turns and volunteered geographic information (2013, methodology): “We are grateful to Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town for collaboration opportunities and assistance on this project.”
Extracting and understanding urban areas of interest using geotagged photos (2015, unknown): “Volunteered geographic information (VGI) provides an alternative data source for many geospatial applications (Goodchild 2007, Elwood 2008, Sui et al. 2012, Hu et al. 2013).”
Volunteered Geographic Information: the nature and motivation of produsers (2009, background): “(2008), (Elwood, 2008a), Flanagin and Metzger (2008), Mummidi and Krumm (2008) and Coleman et al (2009) all speak to this, and technology tools mentioned earlier are available to help in this regard.”
The Street Network Evolution of Crowdsourced Maps: OpenStreetMap in Germany 2007-2011 (2011, background): “OSM is a well-known project in the field of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) [5–7], which others also describe as crowd sourced (geodata) [8–11].”
