Abstract

Cybercartography is a new paradigm for maps and mapping in the information era. Defined as "the organization, presentation, analysis and communication of spatially referenced information on a wide variety of topics of interest to society," cybercartography is presented in an interactive, dynamic, multisensory format with the use of multimedia and multimodal interfaces. Developments in the Theory and Practice of Cybercartography: Applications and Indigenous Mapping examines some of the recent developments in the theory and practice of cybercartography and the substantial changes which have taken place since the first edition published in 2005. It continues to examine the major elements of cybercartography and emphasizes the importance of interaction between theory and practice in developing a paradigm which moves beyond the concept of Geographic Information Systems and Geographical Information Science. The seven major elements of cybercartography outlined in the first edition have been supplemented by six key ideas and the definition of cybercartography has been extended and expanded. The new practice of mapping traditional knowledge in partnership with indigenous people has led to new theoretical understanding as well as innovative cybercartographic atlases. Featuring more than 90% new and revised content, this volume is a result of a multidisciplinary team effort and has benefited from the input of partners from government, industry and aboriginal non-governmental organizations

Abstract

Over the past decade, a new set of interactive, open, participatory and networked spatial media have become widespread. These include mapping platforms, virtual globes, user-generated spatial databases, geodesign and architectural and planning tools, urban dashboards and citizen reporting geo-systems, augmented reality media, and locative media. Collectively these produce and mediate spatial big data and are re-shaping spatial knowledge, spatial behaviour, and spatial politics. Understanding Spatial Media brings together leading scholars from around the globe to examine these new spatial media, their attendant technologies, spatial data, and their social, economic and political effects. The 22 chapters are divided into the following sections: . Spatial media technologies . Spatial data and spatial media . The consequences of spatial media Understanding Spatial Media is the perfect introduction to this fast emerging phenomena for students and practitioners of geography, urban studies, data science, and media and communications.

Abstract

The influence of austerity measures and neoliberal ideologies has sparked discussions about the relevance and value of academic institutions, particularly in the humanities and social sciences. Universities are redirecting academic focus towards greater societal engagement. This book argues that academia has much to gain by moving beyond its institutional walls, in our case, by doing data work with stakeholders and civil society. This collaborative work benefits citizens in our democratic, open societies and advances our knowledge economies. Collaborative Research in the Datafied Society offers a combination of theoretical insights, practical methodologies, and case studies, showcasing the power of collaborative research with stakeholders across diverse communities and civil society to tackle challenges that address pressing issues stemming from data practices and social justice issues. Taken together, the book’s chapters formulate relevant concepts for grounding societally engaged research in the theories and methodologies from different disciplines. In addition, the book informs university administrators and research directors how to advance academia effectively towards mutual knowledge transfer with societal sectors.

Abstract

Les gouvernements se sont engagés à offrir des données ouvertes à une période où l'économie numérique transforme la valeur des données. La technologie accroît la nature et le nombre des données recueillies par les gouvernements, transformant la signification des données gouvernementales ouvertes et de manière à rendre sa pratique plus complexe. Dans ce contexte en évolution, cet ouvrage examine l'avenir des données ouvertes.

Abstract

The Future of Open Data est issu d’un projet de recherche en partenariat subventionné pendant plusieurs années par le Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines (CRSH) qui vise à explorer les données gouvernementales géospatiales ouvertes dans une perspective interdisciplinaire. Les chercheurs associés à cette subvention ont adopté une perspective critique en sciences sociales basée sur l’impératif voulant que la recherche devrait être pertinente à la fois pour le gouvernement et pour les partenaires de la société civile œuvrant dans ce domaine.Cet ouvrage s’appuie sur les connaissances développées durant la période de validité de la subvention et soulève la question : « Quel est l’avenir des données ouvertes ? » Les collaborateurs partagent leurs idées à propos de l’avenir des données ouvertes à la suite d’observations et de recherches menées pendant cinq ans sur la communauté des données ouvertes canadiennes selon une perspective critique de ce qui pourrait et ce qui devrait arriver dans un contexte où évoluent les efforts concernant les données ouvertes.Chaque chapitre de ce livre aborde une diversité d’enjeux tout en s’appuyant sur des perspectives disciplinaires ou interdisciplinaires. Le premier chapitre retrace les origines des données ouvertes au Canada et la manière dont la situation a évolué jusqu’à aujourd’hui, en tenant compte du croisement entre le mouvement de souveraineté des données autochtones et les données ouvertes. Quelques chapitres se penchent sur certains dangers et sur les possibilités des données ouvertes, à leurs limites et même aux responsabilités qui s’y rattachent. Une autre série de chapitres examine les horizons appropriés pour les données ouvertes, incluant les données ouvertes dans le Sud global, les priorités des gouvernements locaux en matière de données et le contexte émergent des données ouvertes dans les milieux ruraux.
