Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Spatial data infrastructure (SDI) activities have been initiated at local, national, regional, and global levels to enhance the utilization of spatial data and processing tools in decision-making processes. In recent years, several revolutionary technological trends have disruptively changed the way we think about solving spatial problems. Machine learning, linked data, big data processing, blockchain, NoSQL database systems, virtual and augmented reality, and the Internet of Things are some of the scientific achievements that also influence SDIs. Moreover, while movements towards open data urge us to openly disseminate spatial data to wider groups of audiences, the emergence of ethics, laws, and policies about privacy, security, and liability (such as the General Data Protection Regulation—GDPR), also force us to take more conservative approaches. The primary goal of this Special Issue is to explore how the aforementioned and other revolutionary trends can improve or alter diverse aspects of SDIs, including the life cycle of spatial data (data gathering, processing, distribution, use, maintenance, and storage) and the governance of SDIs. Additionally, it is essential to investigate the possibilities that these new ideas and technologies provide for the development and improvement of SDIs, and more importantly how this development will affect the knowledge about and science behind the creation of future SDIs.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
