Abstract
Volunteered Geographie Information (VGI) is the harnessing of tools to create, assemble, and disseminate geographie data provided voluntarily by individuals [6], and is regarded by the authors as an important component of Community Remote Sensing. What is currently lacking is a systematic framework that classifies the myriad of VGI products and sources. In this paper we propose a methodology based on business process modeling that allows the description of VGI applications, which can be used to perform a comparative analysis of VGI sources.
