Research Interests

Most of our research are the following lines:

Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Spatial Data Infrastructures

Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) are a new approach for the creation, distribution and use of geographic information, with an emphasis on interoperability. SDIs seek to go beyond the simple distribution of previously existing maps and cartographic data, to serve as data sources powered by standardized Web services. SDIs have the potential to become fundamental elements for understanding space, disseminating geographic data and information along with metadata on provenance, quality and semantics. The typical SDI user is someone who needs to combine and integrate data from various sources to generate new insights on a field of study or application. In this perspective, SDIs can have a central role in areas such as environmental management and urban planning.

Volunteered Geographic Information

The volume and variety of geographic data available on the Web for the common citizen are increasing rapidly. Since the onset of Web 2.0, there is much interest on tools that allow people to geographically locate and describe aspects of their daily life, and to share such knowledge with other people. Initial applications show that it is possible to mobilize the interest of large numbers of citizens for the creation, dissemination and maintenance of geographic information on socially relevant themes. This line of research focuses on the design and implementation of computational tools and techniques that allow groups of people to act as human sensors, voluntarily (or unconsciously) contributing information for the common good. The research agenda includes investigating user motivation, data quality, user feedback and spatial coverage of contributions. We also work on methods for active and passive crowdsourcing and crowdsensing, seeking the application of recommendation systems to enhance volunteered contributions.
