[Geo4All] State of the Map 2022 - Academic Track

[Marco Minghini]

Dear GeoForAll colleagues and friends,

This e-mail is to invite you all to attend *State of the Map 2022*, the
annual global conference of the OpenStreetMap community, which will take
place as a hybrid event in Florence (Italy) and online from *August 19 to
21, 2022* [1].

In addition to the General Track [2] whose submission deadline is April 25,
I would like to draw your attention to the *Academic Track*.

As every year, the Academic Track will include a full day of sessions
dedicated to academic research about, and with, OpenStreetMap. The goal of
the Track is to showcase scientific applications around OpenStreetMap while
at the same time providing a bridge to connect members of the OpenStreetMap
community and the academic community. We expect empirical, methodological,
conceptual, or literature-review-based contributions addressing any
scientific aspect related to OpenStreetMap, in particular, but not limited
to, the following:

   - Extrinsic or intrinsic quality assessment of OpenStreetMap data
   - Analysis of contribution patterns in OpenStreetMap
   - Generation of new and scientifically valuable datasets from
   OpenStreetMap
   - Assessments of data import procedures and their impacts on data and
   community
   - Integration between OpenStreetMap and other data sources
   (authoritative, user-generated, or otherwise valuable to OpenStreetMap)
   - Analysis/comparison of available software for scientific purposes
   related to OpenStreetMap
   - Novel approaches to facilitate or improve data collection and/or data
   quality in OpenStreetMap (e.g. through gamification or citizen science
   approaches)
   - Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning from, and with
   OpenStreetMap (e.g. AI-assisted mapping)
   - Open research problems in OpenStreetMap and challenges for the
   scientific community
   - Cultural, political, and organizational aspects of data production and
   usage practices in OpenStreetMap
   - Studies using OpenStreetMap data in scientific domains
   - Reviews of any scientific aspect connected to OpenStreetMap

In an effort to improve the interaction and collaboration between the
academic and the more general OpenStreetMap communities, authors are
invited to particularly highlight the practical implications or impacts of
their research on the OpenStreetMap community at large.

Authors are invited to *submit extended abstracts (between 800 and 1200
words)* using the State of the Map 2022 Pretalx submission system
<https://pretalx.com/state-of-the-map-2022-academic-track/cfp>. *Deadline
for submission is 10 May 2022*. The full call for papers is available at
[3]. The Scientific Committee [4] can be reached at academic-sotm AT
openstreetmap.org.

Best regards,
Marco - on behalf of the Scientific Committee
