The
present publication focusses the attention on new avenues in regional
information and knowledge management, while we will zoom in
particularly on the potential promises and hurdles of digital
technology. This digital challenge has already generated a wealth of
implications in the area of smart or intelligent cities, but as yet far
less has been achieved in the field of regional planning and regional
science. There is clearly a need for a more systematic and wide-ranging
assessment and presentation of emerging approaches and concepts in this
field, for instance, in regard to principles (e.g. geographic rule
modeling), methodologies (e.g. blockchain systems), data analytics
(e.g. machine learning) and data governance (e.g. data sovereignty) of
regional information and knowledge. Especially in our ‘big data’ era, a
systematic, comprehensible and reliable acquisition, storage, sharing
and handling of data (e.g. on the basis of systematic decomposition and
filtering principles) is more needed than ever before.
The present study seeks to present a selection of state-of-the-art
contributions on advanced – often digitally-oriented – regional
information and knowledge management foundations, principles and
practices written by several experts in the field of spatial
informatics. These contributions were collected with a view to the
design of a comprehensive knowledge and research agenda, which was
discussed during a brainstorm workshop in Lyon, France (October 2021).
This book covers various fields of interest, such as GeoAI, knowledge
modelling, IoT and scalability, space syntax, rule extraction, data
governance and data self-sovereignty. It is concluded with a knowledge
and research agenda outlining future endeavors in the field of the
spatial information sciences (or spatial informatics).
