This morning Georg Glasze and Thomas Bittner from Erlangen University gave a very interesting keynote talk on “VGI and society: inequalities, exclusions and power asymmetries of user generated geoinformation”. It was well received and lead to a lively discussion among the participants of the DFG SPP VGIscience Collaborative Research Week that is taking place this week at Heidelberg University. Below you find some impressions from the talk.
We are looking forward to the second keynote presentation by Jasper van de Ven (Bremen) on “Thoughts on Privacy” tomorrow Thursday 24 May at 9.00 am. If you are interested feel invited to join us in the Mathematikon, Heidelberg University. INF 205, floor 5. Conference Room.
Our projects within the DFG SPP VisVIG are related to “A framework for measuring the fitness for purpose of OpenStreetMap data based on intrinsic quality indicators” and “Spatial Correlation Structures in Georeferenced Twitter Feeds“
