Abstract

In this article, we compile and characterize a total of 43 collaborative web map projects by a set of parameters that enable the understanding and comparability of current and future projects. We then develop a comprehensive methodological framework to explore volunteered geographic information (VGI) and spatial data infrastructure (SDI) convergence based on this review. The main results show the dominance of citizen science projects, followed by initiatives promoting sustainability values, local development, and governance. Although values remain low, the potential to achieve convergence in VGI–SDI features is very high in citizen science projects, where the presence of experts and the funding of these projects by governments and decision‐making entities enable quality standards in the collection and distribution of the contributed information. The work concludes by addressing two major challenges facing current VGI projects: firstly, accessing affordable technological solutions that allow the creation of collaborative web maps with SDI‐like functions. Secondly, guaranteeing the project's sustainability and the preservation of the information gathered.
协作制图项目的特征。分析志愿地理信息和空间数据基础设施融合的方法框架
在这篇文章中,我们通过一系列参数对总共 43 个协作网络地图项目进行了汇编和特征描述,这些参数有助于理解和比较当前和未来的项目。然后,我们在此基础上制定了一个综合方法框架,以探索志愿地理信息(VGI)和空间数据基础设施(SDI)的融合。主要结果显示,公民科学项目占主导地位,其次是促进可持续性价值、地方发展和治理的倡议。尽管价值仍然较低,但公民科学项目在实现 VGI-SDI 特征融合方面的潜力非常大,因为在这些项目中,专家的存在以及政府和决策实体对这些项目的资助,使得所提供信息的收集和分发能够达到质量标准。这项工作在结束时探讨了当前 VGI 项目面临的两大挑战:首先,如何获得负担得起的技术解决方案,以创建具有类似 SDI 功能的协作式网络地图。第二,保证项目的可持续性和所收集信息的保存。
