Geotagged Digital Traces

Résumé

This dataset, divided into files by city, contains geotagged digital traces collected from different social media platforms, detailed below. • Tweets - Cheng et al. [1] • Gowalla [2] • Tweets - Lamsal [3] • YELP[4] • Tweets - Kejriwal et al. [5] • Geotagged Tweets [6] • UrbanActivity, [7] • Brightkite [8] • Weeplaces [8] • Flickr [9] • Foursquare [10] Each file is named according to the city to which the digital traces were associated and contains the columns: Source: contains the name of the source platform Event_date: contains the date associated with the digital trace Lat: latitude of the digital trace Lng: length of the digital trace The definition of city/town used is provided by Simplemaps [11], which considers a city/town any inhabited place as determined by U.S. government agencies. The location of cities and their respective centers were obtained from the World Cities Database provided by the same company. A specific group of these cities was utilized for the research presented in the article submitted to Sensors Journal: Muñoz-Cancino, R., Rios, S. A., &amp; Graña, M. (2023). Clustering cities over features extracted from multiple virtual sensors measuring micro-level activity patterns allows to discriminate large-scale city characteristics. Sensors, Under Review. Comprehensive guidelines and the selection criteria can be found in the abovementioned article. References [1] Zhiyuan Cheng, James Caverlee, and Kyumin Lee.
