Preface
Welcometothe dawn ofthe Eraof BigData.Big spatial dataarecharacterised by
three main features: volume beyond the limit of usual geo-processing, velocity
higher than available by usual processes, and variety, combining more diverse
geodatasourcesthanusual.Thepopulartermdenotesasituationwhenoneormore
ofthesekeypropertiesreachastatewhentraditionalmethodsofgeodatacollection,
storing, processing, controlling, analysing, modelling, validating, and visualising
fail to provide effective solutions. Entering the Era of Big Spatial Data requires
findingsolutionsaddressingall“smalldata”issuesthatwillsooninduce“bigdata”
troubles.ResilienceforBigSpatialDatameanssolvingheterogeneityofspatialdata
sources (in topics, purpose, completeness, guarantee, licensing, coverage, etc.),
large volumes (from gigabytes to terabytes and more), undue complexity of
geo-applications and systems (i.e. combination of standa-lone applications with
Web services, mobile platforms, and sensor networks), neglected automation of
geodata preparation (i.e. harmonisation, fusion), insufficient control of geodata
collectionanddistributionprocesses(i.e.scarcityandpoorqualityofmetadataand
metadatasystems),limitedcapacityofanalyticaltools(i.e.dominationoftraditional
causal-driven analysis), low performance of visual systems, inefficient knowledge
discovery techniques (for transformation of vast amounts of information into tiny
andessentialoutputs),andmanymore.Thesetrendswillevenaccelerateassensors
in the world become more ubiquitous. These proceedings should help to regulate
the flood of spatial data.
