Personalized Nichesourcing: Acquisition of Qualitative Annotations from Niche Communities

چکیده
Diversity and profundity of the topics in cultural heritage collections make experts from outside the institution indispensable for acquiring qualitative and comprehensive annotations.

We present a framework called Accurator, that allows to realize and evaluate strategies and applications for personalized nichesourcing.
