UC CEISMIC:Some thoughts on crowd-sourcing earthquake content
Dr. Christopher ThomsonUC CEISMIC Canterbury Earthquakes Digital Archivewww.ceismic.org.nz@UCCEISMIC
Benefits and Challenges Benefits:
- Gather content from a variety of people otherwise hard to engage with- Enable people outside the project to encourage contributions, eg
teachers, community leaders.
Challenges:
- Earthquakes are always potentially sensitive or frustrating topic - Difficult to sustain a relatively 'open' call for people's digital content – a
tightly defined task / proposal is usually better for crowdsourcing.
What other crowdsourcing would CEISMIC do?
1. HITLab NZ want to integrate content gathered through the CityViewAR mobile app into CEISMIC.
2. Tagging/annotation in phase 2 development
- Multiple layers of tags or annotations: curated, crowdsourced, machine generated
- Could encourage people to give more content and engage with the rebuild and longer term issues
- Issues: distinguishing between tags from different origins, likely to need moderation/user management.
Thanks!
