A Virtual Crowdsourcing Community for Open Collaboration in Science Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although science has become an increasingly collaborative endeavor over the last hundred years, only little attention has been devoted to supporting scientific communities. Our work focuses on scientific collaborations that revolve around complex science questions that require significant coordination to synthesize multi-disciplinary findings, enticing contributors to remain engaged for extended periods of time, and continuous growth to accommodate new contributors as needed as the work evolves over time. This paper presents a virtual crowdsourcing community for open collaboration in science processes to address these challenges. Our solution is based on the Semantic MediaWiki and extends it with new features for scientific collaboration. We present preliminary results from the usage of the interface in a pilot research project.

The Fundamentals of Policy Crowdsourcing
What is the state of the research on crowdsourcing for policy making? This article begins to answer this question by collecting, categorizing, and situating an extensive body of the extant research investigating policy crowdsourcing, within a new framework built on fundamental typologies from each field. We first define seven universal characteristics of the three general crowdsourcing techniqu...
متن کاملPerform Three Data Mining Tasks with Crowdsourcing Process
For data mining studies, because of the complexity of doing feature selection process in tasks by hand, we need to send some of labeling to the workers with crowdsourcing activities. The process of outsourcing data mining tasks to users is often handled by software systems without enough knowledge of the age or geography of the users' residence. Uncertainty about the performance of virtual user...

متن کاملPeer Produced Innovation: An Exploration Of 'The Wisdom Of Crowds' In Virtual Worlds
While researchers have examined the role of individuals in crowdsourcing for open innovation purposes (wisdom in crowds) there is a gap in our understanding of the collective intelligence of communities for such purposes (wisdom of crowds). The objective of this exploratory study is therefore to explore the peer production of innovation; specifically the challenges in leveraging the collective ...
متن کاملCommunity engineering for innovations: the ideas competition as a method to nurture a virtual community for innovations
‘Crowdsourcing’ is currently one of the most discussed key words within the open innovation community. The major question for both research and business is how to find and lever the enormous potential of the ‘collective brain’ to broaden the scope of ‘open R&D’. Based on a literature review in the fields of Community Building and Innovation Management, this work develops an integrated framework...
