Localizing the internet: implications of and challenges in geo-locating everything digital

TLDR
Geo-coding the vast amount of content currently on the web, along with providing reliable geo-location authentication services against the difficulties of spatial analysis and the inherent probabilistic estimate of current location-identification technology, is challenged.
Abstract
The Internet allows for near-total anonymity in online discussions and transactions; leading to challenges such as identity theft, spear phishing, cyber-bullying and lack of user-retailer trust for small online retailers. In an effort to restore prosperity, security and trust to our increasingly digitally interconnected society, it is important to tie some sense of the physical world in with the cyber world, e.g., creating a geo-coded Internet. However, geo-coding the vast amount of content currently on the web, along with providing reliable geo-location authentication services against the difficulties of spatial analysis and the inherent probabilistic estimate of current location-identification technology.

"They basically like destroyed the school one day": On Newer App Features and Cyberbullying in Schools

TL;DR: These include the increasing prevalence of image/video content, perceived ephemerality, anonymity, and hyperlocal communication, which were found to influence the practice of cyberbullying, as well as creating negative socio-psychological effects.

Moving Objects Databases

TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-modelling approach called Spatio-Temporal Indexing, which automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive process of manually cataloging and querying databases.

Temporal, Spatial, and Spatio-Temporal Data Mining

TL;DR: A number of pattern discovery algorithms use pruning techniques to reduce the number of candidate patterns, and adopt a data structure to efficiently implement the second step, and experiments show that the pruned techniques and the data structure are quite effective.
