Preface
Geographic Information Observatories is a new workshop series
intended to showcase and expand research on exploring the
universe of geospatial information from multiple perspectives. The
first GIO 2014 workshop was held at the 8th International
Conference on Geographic Information Science in Vienna, Austria.

Two keynotes talks at the workshop highlighted various aspects of
information observatories, including the social dynamics of user-
generated geographic content and challenges for data
interoperability. The first keynote was given by Brent Hecht,
assistant professor of computer science at the University of
Minnesota, on the Mining and Application of Diverse Cultural
Perspectives in Volunteered Geographic Information and User-
Generated Content. The second keynote on Post-Normal
Geospatial Science was given by Sven Schade, scientific officer at
the European Commission’s Joint Research Center.

Already in its first year the workshop attracted 19 participants,
more than half PhD students working in GIScience. Six papers
were accepted out of ten submissions, including research and
position papers. What you will find in this collection is a span of
topics investigating both theoretical and practical aspects of
geographic information observatories.
