Report of the 6th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Geospatial Humanities (GeoHumanities 2022)

The field of Geospatial Humanities addresses the use of geographic information systems and other spatial technologies in humanities research, looking to address questions related to space and place. The field is constantly evolving, and currently it is posing very interesting challenges relating, for example, to the identification and analysis of real, vague, and imaginary space in humanities sources like archival manuscripts, maps, encyclopedias, newspapers, correspondence collections, and more. These kinds of documents pose new challenges for identifying and analyzing spatial information, and a strong emphasis is being put on new methodologies that leverage the standard tools from geographic information systems, as well as more advanced methods (e.g., based on machine learning) such as text- and image-based geographical analysis, this way combining GIS, NLP, Deep Mapping, Computer Vision, and Qualitative Spatial Representation, among others.
