Four Arguments Why Places and Information About Places Are Inextricably Interwoven (Short Paper)

Authors: Franz-Benjamin Mocnik

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 315, 16th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT 2024)

Abstract
Research on information about places can often practically not be clearly demarcated from research on the places themselves. This is not a problem itself but raises the question of how geographical information science and human geography mutually relate. This paper discusses four arguments as to why places and information about them are inextricably interwoven in many cases. The difficulty in finding a demarcation between the two lines of research is thus not due to a lack of academic engagement with these topics but rather due to the subject matter itself. Consequently, research on the role of information in the context of places is indispensable for the study of places themselves. This raises the question again as to whether the separation of geographical information science and geography, as they are currently lived by distinctly different communities of practice, is justified.

On the Cartographic Communication of Places (Short Paper)

Authors: Franz-Benjamin Mocnik

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 277, 12th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2023)

Abstract
Maps are excellent as a medium for communicating spatial configurations at geographical scales. However, the communication of thematic qualities of geographical features is constrained by the traditionally assumed strict classification of features on the map and the strong focus on spatial representation. This is despite the fact that places are central aspects of everyday life that we use to structure our experiences and thus the need to include them in many maps. This paper explores how places can be communicated through the map medium. In particular, it addresses the question of the extent to which places are mediated or merely referenced, and the extent to which maps already communicate places through its inherent spatial and thematic aspects. This is followed by a discussion of how maps not only communicate but also shape places. In perspective, this contributes to a better and more targeted representation of places, especially through maps, but also advances our understanding of how places are conceptually entangled with spatial and thematic aspects.

Linked Open Data Vocabularies for Semantically Annotated Repositories of Data Quality Measures (Short Paper)

Authors: Franz-Benjamin Mocnik

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 114, 10th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2018)

Abstract
The fitness for purpose concerns many different aspects of data quality. These aspects are usually assessed independently by different data quality measures. However, for the assessment of the fitness for purpose, a holistic understanding of these aspects is needed. In this paper we discuss two Linked Open Data vocabularies for formally describing measures and their relations. These vocabularies can be used to semantically annotate repositories of data quality measures, which accordingly adhere to common standards even if being distributed on multiple servers. This allows for a better understanding of how data quality measures relate and mutually constrain. As a result, it becomes possible to improve intrinsic data quality measures by evaluating their effectivity and by combining them.
