T3.3 – Quality aware spatial knowledge aggregation

Community efforts live from the enthusiasm of volunteers. Too strict regulations of the type of content contributed to the effort would be counterproductive. While it helps new contributors to guide with suggestions for categories to be instantiated on a map more experienced users will want to add new categories at their wish. In this task we aim at consolidating the type of information entered in volunteered geographic knowledge bases not by restricting the set of categories but rather: develop algorithms semantically consolidating the meaning of categories. We aim at developing algorithms automatically mapping newly added categories to existing categories. The user has then the choice to reuse an existing definition of a well described and frequently used category or begin to define a new category. Newly added categories will be grouped with other categories into higher types of categories. investigate in a community driven consolidation process. Since we are aware that an algorithmic approach will not solve the problem entirely, the goal is to develop means to define aggregated categories and allow the community to agree on them.
