Abstract
It is a real pleasure to welcome you to the proceedings of the first edition of the ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Crowdsourced and Volunteered Geographic Information (GEOCROWD), which include work presented at the workshop in Redondo Beach, California. As user-generated content explodes in size, the geospatial domain is especially affected by these large amounts of volunteered geographic information (VGI). Researchers have been quick to realize the importance of these developments and have started working on the relevant research problems, giving rise to new topical research areas such as "geographic information retrieval", "crowdsourcing", "geospatial (semantic) Web", "linked geospatial data", "GeoWeb 2.0" etc. The GEOCROWD workshop was designed to bring together researchers and practitioners from the above areas to discuss open research problems and to develop a research agenda for the future.
