The 6th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Geospatial Humanities will be held in conjunction with ACM SIGSPATIAL 2022 International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems in Seattle, WA in November 2022.
The workshop is concerned with the use of geographic information systems and other spatial technologies in humanities research and seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners from computer science, geographical information sciences, and the humanities. Suggested topics include:
- Gazetteer development (e.g., models, data conflation, semantic technologies, etc.)
- Ontologies and linked data for modeling geohistorical data
- Historical and literary geographical information systems
- Spatio-temporal network analysis in the humanities
- Text geo-parsing and other NLP techniques for geographical text analysis
- Deep learning techniques for the spatial humanities
- Novel approaches for the analysis of vague and imaginary place
- 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
- Handling vague and imprecise historical spatio-temporal data
- Creating new spatial datasets from historical materials (maps, aerial photography, postal or other directories, newspapers, etc.) using state-of-the art methods
- Novel approaches for the analysis of humanistic spatial data at scale
- Applications of the aforementioned techniques
Submissions are due September 2, 2022. For more information on the workshop, paper formats, and how to submit, see the Call for Papers.
