Social media databases and other data collected by DGL

Over the years, the Digital Geography Lab (DGL) has collected data from a variety of open data sources, that now reside in the group’s common database. These data collection efforts have been carried out by different members of the DGL and different contributors, at different points in time, and with different focus and coverage. This is especially true for data from social media, data from other online platforms, and volunteered geographic information.
