GIS / Mapping Working Group

The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) / Mapping working group is a network of CUNY students, faculty and staff who are interested in sharing methods and techniques, and finding support from others about ways GIS can be used to further research and teaching.

The GIS/Mapping working group is part of a GC Digital Initiatives program designed to create collaborative communities of Digital Fellows, CUNY-wide graduate students, staff, and faculty to meet regularly and share their areas of interest. The working groups provide a sustained, supportive environment to learn new skills, share familiar skills, and collaborate with both the Digital Fellows and the CUNY digital community.

If you are using Geographic Information Systems or other mapping technologies in your teaching and/or research, or if you are interested in mapping your data, or using GIS technology to analyze/visualize your data, we invite you to join the GIS/Mapping working group.

Peruse our mapping resource bank here: https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/gis-working-group/docs/gis-mapping-resources/

For the Spring 2024 semester, the GIS/Mapping working group will meet in the Digital Scholarship Lab, Room 7414, every other Tuesday from 2-4 p.m. Check out our event calendar for the specific meeting dates. Please stop by!

    *Second **ACM** SIGSPATIAL Workshop on Geospatial Humanities*

    *November 6, 2018, Seattle, Washington, USA*

    *In conjunction with the 26th ACM SIGSPATIAL International
    Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems
    (ACM SIGSPATIAL 2018)*

    https://bgmartins.github.io/sigspatial-geohumanities/

    **** Call for Papers ****

    The ACM SIGSPATIAL Workshop on Geospatial Humanities is concerned with the
    use of geographic information systems and other spatial technologies in
    humanities research. We aim to bring together researchers and practitioners
    from different sub-fields of computer science and the geographical
    information sciences, interested in the application of spatial methods and
    technology to the humanities. Participants will explore and demonstrate the
    contributions to knowledge that modern GIS technologies can enable within
    and beyond the digital humanities.

    The workshop invites contributions on the following topics, as well as
    other research related to the Spatial Humanities:

    + Gazetteer development (e.g., models, data conflation, semantic
    technologies, etc.)

    + Historical geographical information systems

    + Spatio-temporal network analysis in the humanities

    + Text geo-parsing and other NLP techniques for geographical text analysis

    + Spatial simulation in the humanities (e.g., cellular automata and
    agent-based models)

    + Spatial and spatio-temporal analysis of humanities data

    + Visualization and cartographic representations for humanities data

    + Handling vague and imprecise historical spatio-temporal data

    + Applications of the aforementioned techniques

    **** Associated Special Issue ****

    A special issue of Springer GeoJournal, focused on the Spatial Humanities,
    will complement the 2018 ACMSIGSPATIAL Workshop on Geospatial Humanities.
    Authors with best papers will be invited to prepare and submit extended
    versions to be considered for the special issue. Submissions to the special
    issue will also be open to all interested authors, regardless of their
    participations in the workshop.

    **** Paper Submission ****

    Contributions should be submitted in the form of long papers (i.e., up to
    10 pages in PDF, according to the ACM formatting guidelings):

    http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template

    Contributions should report on relatively mature research results, or
    alternatively on more speculative and early stage research that may
    nonetheless stimulate discussion at the workshop.

    Paper submissions should be made through the EasyChair system:

    https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sigspatial-geohumanities-2018

    **** Important Dates ****

    + Paper Submission Deadline: September 7, 2018

    + Notification of Acceptance: September 26, 2018

    + Camera-Ready Submissions: October 3, 2018

    + Workshop Date: November 6, 2018
