This edited volume presents a collection of lessons learned with, and research conducted on, OpenStreetMap, the goal being to promote the projects integration. The respective chapters address a) state-of-the-art and cutting-edge approaches to data quality analysis in OpenStreetMap, b) investigations on understanding OpenStreetMap contributors and the nature of their contributions, c) identifying patterns of contributions and contributors, d) applications of OpenStreetMap in different domains, e) mining value-added knowledge and information from OpenStreetMap, f) limitations in the analysis OpenStreetMap data, and g) integrating OpenStreetMap with commercial and non-commercial datasets. The book offers an ideal opportunity to present and disseminate a number of cutting-edge developments and applications in the field of geography, spatial statistics, GIS, social science, and cartography.read more

Urban greenery and mental wellbeing in adults: Cross-sectional mediation analyses on multiple pathways across different greenery measures
TL;DR: It is found that both greenery measures capture different aspects of natural environments and may contribute to people's wellbeing by means of different mechanisms, and both streetscape and satellite-derived greenery seem to be both directly correlated and indirectly mediated.

Calculate Travel Time and Distance with Openstreetmap Data Using the Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM)
Stephan Huber,Christoph Rust +1 more
TL;DR: The osrmtime command as discussed by the authors calculates the distance and travel time between two points using latitude and longitude information using Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) and OpenStreetMap to find the optimal route by car, by bicycle or on foot.

The provision of urban green space and its accessibility: Spatial data effects in Brussels.
TL;DR: It is found that the interpretation of intra-urban spatial variations is not affected by changes in data source, and centrality in particular is a strong determinant of the relative values of UGS availability, fragmentation and accessibility, irrespective of datasets.

OpenStreetMap history for intrinsic quality assessment: Is OSM up-to-date?
TL;DR: “Is OSM up-to-date?” is presented, an open source web application addressing the need of OSM contributors, community leaders and researchers to quickly assess OSM intrinsic quality based on the object history for any specific region.

Fay W. Chang,Jeffrey Dean,Sanjay Ghemawat,Wilson C. Hsieh,Deborah A. Wallach,Michael Burrows,Tushar Deepak Chandra,Andrew Fikes,Robert Gruber +8 more
TL;DR: Bigtable as mentioned in this paper is a distributed storage system for managing structured data that is designed to scale to a very large size: petabytes of data across thousands of commodity servers, including web indexing, Google Earth and Google Finance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The structure of scientific collaboration networks
TL;DR: It is shown that these collaboration networks form "small worlds," in which randomly chosen pairs of scientists are typically separated by only a short path of intermediate acquaintances.

Critical questions for big data
danah boyd,Kate Crawford +1 more
TL;DR: The era of Big Data has begun as discussed by the authors, where diverse groups argue about the potential benefits and costs of analyzing genetic sequences, social media interactions, health records, phone logs, government records, and other digital traces left by people.

OpenStreetMap: User-Generated Street Maps
Muki Haklay,Patrick Weber +1 more
TL;DR: The OpenStreetMap project is a knowledge collective that provides user-generated street maps that follow the peer production model that created Wikipedia; its aim is to create a set of map data that's free to use, editable, and licensed under new copyright schemes.
