How to effectively exploit the power of geographical information available on the Web, through the
thematic, spatial and temporal dimensions? How to use the complementarity of external knowledge
resources? These questions highlight a non-exhaustive list of themes considered for GIA track:
Preparation of Geographical Data
o Identification of resources and of data (texts, images, etc.);
o Data Modeling (spatial, temporal, spatio-temporal and thematic data);
o Considering specific characteristics: heterogeneity, volumetry, mono or multi-dimensionality.
Geographical knowledge Extraction
o Construction and Acquisition of spatial/temporal/thematic Knowledge;
o Qualitative approaches (expert annotation, etc.) and quantitative approaches (data
mining, NLP, etc.).
Geographical Data Analytics
o Single or multi-Dimensional Data Analysis (interpretation and data enrichment),
o Quality measurements on spatial and temporal data;
Geovizualisation
o Tools and techniques supporting the analysis of geospatial data through the use of
interactive visualization;
Evaluation of spatial and temporal tools, resources and knowledge;
Uses, methods and issues in Humanities and Social Sciences topics: geography, health,
