Summer School. From deciding on routes to work, to outdoor activities such as hiking and travelling, we are all constantly immersed in diverse physical spaces, both bodily and cognitively.
In most of our daily practices, these decisions are made collaboratively. Spatial collaboration describes the combined work of multiple participants to solve problems involving physical space, and is a critical component of citizen science. Gamification and GI science can strongly enhance spatial collaboration. The 2014 summer school at the Institute for Geoinformatics aims to provide insights into a combination of spatial collaboration, gamification and GI science. The 6-day event will focus on addressing two specific questions: How can gamification improve GI technology for spatial collaboration; and what are the opportunities offered by gamification to enhance collaborative data acquisition and the gathering of feedback? Autopsie d’une dataviz [5.2] : des MBTiles pour éviter les tuiles. Fév112014 Comment faire pour afficher proprement et sans lenteur une carte choroplèthe contenant des milliers de zones ?

Réponse dans cette seconde partie d'une trilogie cartographique ! Dans l'épisode précédent : Un cartographe amateur s'est lancé dans un projet un peu fou. Il souhaite créer des cartes interactives contenant des milliers d'informations, et est déjà parvenu, au prix d'efforts harassants, à obtenir un fichier .shp réutilisable. Première difficulté : notre .shp pèse environ 60 Mo... Même en passant par Mapshaper pour simplifier tout ça, ce ragoût de données fera ramer à coup sûr Google Fusion Tables sur n'importe quelle machine... Les tarés de MapBox ont heureusement une solution à proposer : les MapBox Tiles (aujour'hui transformées en Vector Tiles). Le principe, pour ce que j'en ai compris, est grosso modo le suivant : Plus de ramage, plus de plantage, et en prime de l'interactivité et un poids réduit (dans notre cas environ 11 Mo).

Vlahogianni, National Technical University of Athens (elenivl@central.ntua.gr) Submission deadline: June 1, 2014 We live in an era of data overflow where every activity of our lives is recorded and fused in enormous streams of structured and unstructured data. “Big Data” refers to high-volume, high-velocity and/or high-variety information resources that require novel processing concepts and tools to convert information to knowledge. While Big Data can be seen as a huge asset to both practitioners and researchers, significant challenges may arise for academia, Federal and State agencies, industry, and other organizations. Big Data are nowadays expanding into the transportation arena. Articles submitted to this special issue must contain significant relevance to transportation and traffic engineering processes.

Revue Internationale de Géomatique Vol.22 n°2 (2012) AGILE 2013. The pre-AGILE 2013 workshop Action and Interaction in Volunteered Geographic Information (ACTIVITY) was held in Leuven, Belgium in May 2013.
The amount and variety of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) is growing rapidly. There are many different VGI sources (e.g. OpenStreetMap, Wikimapia, Panoramio, GeoNames) addressing different types of spatially-explicit as well as spatially-implicit content, being collected by voluntary people. Some of these sources involve active participation (e.g. editing map features in OSM) while others require more passive modes of participation (e.g. enabling geolocation in Twitter feeds). The growing trend to ubiquitous data collection results in massive datasets, waiting to get leveraged by a continuously growing number of emerging applications such as wildfire tracking, volunteer response coordination during natural disasters or road navigation.
