Our AGILE workshop called RICH-VGI (enRICHment of volunteered geographic information (VGI): Techniques, practices and current state of knowledge) was held on June 9, 2015 in Lisbon as part of the 18th AGILE Conference on Geographic Information Science of the Association of Geographic Information Laboratories in Europe (AGILE) with comparatively a large number of participants.
The workshop aimed at providing an interdisciplinary forum towards determining techniques and ideas for improving VGI and VGI analysis in terms of completeness, attributes, locational accuracy, metadata, etc.
The workshop was well-attended by scholars from a diverse range of backgrounds and quite a number of interesting discussions were raised and addressed. A list of presentations along with their slides is provided below for your reference.
