Abstract. The scarcity of metrics for analysing the quality of Voluntary Geographic Information without direct comparisons with reference data makes it impossible to use this information in many areas of society. Especially in developing countries, where collaborative data can help fill the deficit of official data, studies on intrinsic parameters of quality become an alternative to conventional comparative methods for evaluating spatial data. A recurring parameter in related research is Collective Spatial Intelligence. Seeking to offer researchers on the subject a tool capable of measuring the Collective Spatial Intelligence in predefined areas, we developed a Python application that counts representative values of this intelligence in political-administrative limits. Considering that, in general, the quality of spatial data is inferred on these limits, research that seeks to explain the VGI quality without using official data as a reference can be facilitated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
