GIS as a technology has come a long way, from the early adoption of technical wizardry to the ubiquitous, if unconscious use by the masses. The emergence of a GISociety is on its way through technological development, theoretical and empirical scientific research and inclusion of technology into education with increasing pedagogical justification. Defining new dimensions of hard- and software, brainware and orgware are all needed to further enhance the GISociety with new geospatial innovations.

This issue of the Geoinformatics Forum (www.gi-forum.org) links into these research areas. We are pleased to present work by researchers who actively contribute to the rising of geospatial innovations for society in theoretical, empirical, technical, and educational terms. This reflects that innovative alterations can only be created though close interaction among the domains of science, technology and education. Topics of the 2014 issue therefore include:
• Innovations in geospatial technologies
• Advances in GIScience
• Monitoring global change
• Geoinformation for public health
• Education with digital earth
• Spatial Citizenship education
• Geospatial learning environments

The book is aimed at researchers and practioners in the field of geoinformation with an academic, industrial or educational background.

Abstract:
There is much interest in the opportunities for formal scientific investigations afforded by crowdsourcing and citizen sensing activities. However, one of the critical research issues relates to the ‘quality’ of the data collected in this way. This paper uses volunteer data on land cover collected under the Geo-Wiki system, where contributors label the land cover class at a series of locations, with expert labels at the same locations. It examines the statistical relationships between the accuracy of volunteer labels, their self assessed confidence in labelling, their ‘experiential distance’ to the location under consideration and the level of their domain expertise. The results show that distance has a minor effect on the reliability of land cover labelling, and that generally expertise has a greater effect, but not for all land cover classes.
