Proceedings of the Fifth International ACM SIGMOD Workshop on Managing and Mining Enriched Geo-Spatial Data

The aim of GeoRich is to provide a unique forum for discussing in depth the challenges, opportunities, novel techniques and applications on modeling, managing, searching and mining rich geo-spatial data, in order to fuel scientific research on big spatial data applications beyond the current research frontiers. The workshop is intended to bring together researchers from different fields of data-science and geoinformation-science that deal with the management of spatial and spatio-temporal data, social network data, textual data, multimedia data, semantic data and ontologies, uncertain data and other common types of geo-referenced data. The focus of the third GeoRich workshop is to analyze what has been achieved so far and how to further exploit the enormous potential of this data flood. This workshop brought together researchers from the fields of databases, data-science and geoinformation-science, who independently work on similar problems, but often apply different techniques to solve these problems. Focus of this workshop is to create synergies for databases, data-science and geoinformation-science, by sharing ideas and finding common solutions.
