As the context for geographic research evolves from a data-scarce to a
data-rich or big data environment, a data-driven geography (Miller and
Goodchild, 2014) is emerging during the recent years. This trend sheds new
light on geographic knowledge discovery and spatial modeling, and brings
about innovative developments in technologies and applications. While
presenting myriad possibilities for transforming cross-disciplinary studies
intersecting with geographic research, the proliferation of data-driven
geography also confronts unprecedented legal and ethical challenges, such
as geo-privacy, national security, and global changes. Though still
cautious about a discipline dictated rather than driven by data per se,
geographers gradually reach a consensus that we are entering a new, fourth
phase of geographic studies. Thus, with the emergence of data-driven
geography, we hope that the session will generate discussions in this
emerging area of research, with the goal of long-term community-building on
the topic.

We solicit original research papers (including significant
works-in-progress) on emerging topics in data-driven geography. Specific
topics of interest include but are not limited to:

·         Crowd sourcing and volunteered geographic information. Big (geo)
data assessment (Goodchild, 2013), uncertainty and creditability of
locational information.

·         Geographic knowledge discovery, innovative methods in big data
collection, visualization, manipulation, and evaluation.

·         Innovative prototypes of big (geo) data (commercial or open)
software, hardware, and infrastructures.

·         The multifaceted social, legal and ethical issues raised by the
conduct of data driven approaches.

·         Data-driven applications in geographic domains, including but not
limited to geo-enabled social media, location based services, and remote
sensing data fusion.
