Abstract

Volunteered geographic information (VGI), which pertains to geographic information voluntarily collected and shared, represents a paradigm shift in the way geographic information is created and shared. However, there are still hurdles in properly using such information. One alternative to improve the use of VGI is to use semantic enrichment. Semantic enrichment is a potential way of mitigating several issues that plague VGI such as low data quality, unreliability, and difficulty in use and recovery, among others. The present study discusses the possibility of semantically enriching volunteered geographic data using Linked Data and presents a simplified algorithm to automate this process.
