Two of our recent papers have been  featured in IQT Quarterly. The first looks at completeness and error in VGI and the second features some of our work on social media and polycentric communities. The papers have been significantly shortened and edited and make easy reading (that’s not to say the original papers were difficult to read :). For those not familiar with IQT Quarterly, it  is a publication from In-Q-Tel which:

“was created to bridge the gap between the technology needs of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) and emerging commercial innovation”.

Demarcating New Boundaries: Mapping Virtual Polycentric Communities through Social Media Content

The proliferation of social media has led to the emergence of a new type of geospatial information that defies the conventions of authoritative or volunteered geographic information, yet can be harvested to reveal unique and dynamic information about people and their activities.
