“…Selection of the polygons with an identified combination of key=value that satisfies a set of rules related to their neighborhood or topological relations, such as contain or is contained, to insert into a LULC class. Examples of this type of rule are, for example, polygons corresponding to green areas that are associated with recreation areas if they contain equipment such as sports fields (Loai Ali, Schmid, Falomir, & Freksa, 2015).…”

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a bottom up community-driven initiative to create a global map of the world. Yet the application of OSM to land use and land cover (LULC) mapping is still largely unexploited due to problems with inconsistencies in the data and harmonization of LULC nomenclatures with OSM. This chapter outlines an automated methodology for creating LULC maps using the nomenclature of two European LULC products: the Urban Atlas (UA) and CORINE Land Cover (CLC). The method is applied to two regions in London and Paris. The results show that LULC maps with a level of detail similar to UA can be obtained for the urban regions, but that OSM has limitations for conversion into the more detailed non-urban classes of the CLC nomenclature. Future work will concentrate on developing additional rules to improve the accuracy of the transformation and building an online system for processing the data.

“…Despite these challenges, there is potential for VGI to provide spatial solutions in a clearly bottom-up approach to data incorporating citizen engagement, and can also help improve the development of descriptive/qualitative rules for determining geographic features of improved data classification [15]. Additionally, in connection to developments in PPGIS and VGI, the concepts of the effectiveness of participation models are addressed, with particular emphasis on mapping, community planning and collaboration [6].…”

“…Recently, other authors mentioned the relevance of protocols for VGI projects and suggested to define protocols in order to ensure high data quality [12,13]. From this perspective, some research works proved that proposing a recommendation system to guide contributors enhance the quality of contributions [14,15]. Protocols are also crucial to facilitate and widen the reuse of VGI for purposes and applications others than the one it was originally collected for.…”

Abstract:A protocol for the collection of vector data in Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) projects is proposed. VGI is a source of crowdsourced geographic data and information which is comparable, and in some cases better, than equivalent data from National Mapping Agencies (NMAs) and Commercial Surveying Companies (CSC). However, there are many differences in how NMAs and CSC collect, analyse, manage and distribute geographic information to that of VGI projects. NMAs and CSC make use of robust and standardised data collection protocols whilst VGI projects often provide guidelines rather than rigorous data collection specifications. The proposed protocol addresses formalising the collection and creation of vector data in VGI projects in three principal ways: by manual vectorisation; field survey; and reuse of existing data sources. This protocol is intended to be generic rather than being linked to any specific VGI project. We believe that this is the first protocol for VGI vector data collection that has been formally described in the literature. Consequently, this paper shall serve as a starting point for on-going development and refinement of the protocol.
