Big data can be situated in the disciplinary area of traditional geospatial data handling theory and methods. The increasing volume and varying format of collected geospatial big data presents challenges in storing, managing, processing, analyzing, visualizing and verifying the quality of data. This has implications for the quality of decisions made with big data. Consequently, this position paper of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) Technical Commission II (TC II) revisits the existing geospatial data handling methods and theories to determine if they are still capable of handling emerging geospatial big data. Further, the paper synthesises problems, major issues and challenges with current developments as well as recommending what needs to be developed further in the near future. date: 2016-05 date_type: published publisher: ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV official_url: http://doi.org/10.1016/j.isprsjprs.2015.10.012 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Review verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1094644 doi: 10.1016/j.isprsjprs.2015.10.012 lyricists_name: Cheng, Tao lyricists_name: Haworth, James lyricists_id: TCHEN23 lyricists_id: JHAWO13 actors_name: Haworth, James actors_name: Laslett, David actors_id: JHAWO13 actors_id: DLASL34 actors_role: owner actors_role: impersonator full_text_status: public publication: ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing volume: 115 pagerange: 119-133 pages: 15 issn: 1872-8235 citation: Li, S; Dragicevic, S; Castro, FA; Sester, M; Winter, S; Coltekin, A; Pettit, C; ...
