Abstract
Within the current literature, confusion exists as to the terminology used for the various technologies, innovations and phenomenon associated with VGI. This is best highlighted by Elwood (2008) in that these developments [in geotagging data] have been referred to with a plethora of terms, including neogeography… web mapping… volunteered geographic information… ubiquitous cartography… and wiki-mapping. This extensive list is added to by Crampton (2008) with Spatial Media, Locative Media, Spatial Crowdsourcing, Geocollaboration and Map Hacking. Suggesting an explanation for this, Tulloch (2008) suggests that initial islands of research producing unique or proprietary vocabulary may introduce buzzwords which suit their cause, yet die out over time. As Crampton (2008) commented, the [neogeographic] situation has from its birth been both increasingly important and interestingly messy, with its confusing terminology being linked with the emergence of the Web 2.0 and Neogeographic phenomenon itself (Das and Kraak 2011).
