State of the Art Unresolved Issues and Future Research
The state of the art in cultural heritage crowdsourcing
Crowdsourcing is a course of digitally-enabled participation that promises deeper, more engaged relationships with the public via meaningful tasks with cultural heritage collections. This projection brings together world-leading experts to document the country of the art in designing, managing and integrating crowdsourcing activities, and to look ahead to future challenges and unresolved issues that could be addressed by larger, longer-term collaboration on methods for digitally-enabled participation.
The Collective Wisdom Project is led by Main Investigator Mia Ridge (British Library) and Co-Investigators Meghan Ferriter (Library of Congress) and Sam Blickhan (Zooniverse).
Our overarching goals are to:
- Foster an international community of do in crowdsourcing in cultural heritage
- Capture and disseminate the land of the fine art and promote knowledge exchange in crowdsourcing and digitally-enabled participation
- Set a research agenda and generate shared understandings of unsolved or tricky problems that could lead to future funding applications
Activities and objectives
We planned ii activities to accomplish our goals:
- two week-long collaborative 'sprints' (or writing workshops) designed to produce an authoritative volume within a month – this became online Book Sprints over March fifteen – nineteen and March 29 – April 2, 2021
- a follow-up workshop to interrogate, refine and advance questions from this thematic area and hold upon high priority issues for futurity work, laying the foundations for future collaboration and providing input for the white paper – held over two days on Oct twenty and 21, 2021
These activities are designed to produce the following results:
- An open access volume that provides the definitive guide to designing, managing and integrating crowdsourcing activities, created during the above event
- A white paper that outlines emerging, intractable and unsolved challenges that could exist addressed by further funding for collaborative work.
Why now?
For several years, crowdsourcing has provided a framework for online participation with, and around, cultural heritage collections. This popularity leads to increased participant expectations while also attracting criticism such as accusations of 'gratuitous labour'. Now, the introduction of machine learning and AI methods, and co-creation and new models of ownership and authorship present significant challenges for institutions used to managing interactions with collections on their own terms.
Nosotros want this project to help foster the wonderful community of crowdsourcing practitioners, participants and researchers by hosting events and online discussion. Adapting to the global pandemic – and the increased interest in crowdsourcing, digital participation and admission – makes this more important than e'er.
How can you go involved?
We accept now closed our 'customs peer review' period, but the commentable version of the book will remain online indefinitely at The Commonage Wisdom Handbook: perspectives on crowdsourcing in cultural heritage.
We published this showtime version of our collaborative text to provide early access to our work, and to invite annotate and discussion from anyone interested in crowdsourcing, citizen science, citizen history, digital / online volunteer projects, programmes, tools or platforms with cultural heritage collections.
We previously held a phone call for participants in our Volume Sprint, and asked for responses to two short surveys with people who volunteer for or work 'behind the scenes' in crowdsourcing, citizen science, citizen history, digital / online volunteer projects, programmes, tools or platforms with cultural heritage collections. The survey results are bachelor on this site.
The easiest fashion to get updates such as calls for contributors and links to blog posts is to sign upwardly for the British Library's crowdsourcing newsletter or join the Crowdsourcing group on Humanities Commons. If you're generally interested in crowdsourcing and online participation in digital cultural heritage, the JISCMail Crowdsourcing list has some discussion on starting and managing projects in the current context.
Nosotros're using the #CollectiveWisdomAHRC hashtag on twitter and posting updates on this site.
Funded past the AHRC
We are grateful to the Arts and Humanities Inquiry Council for funding equally an AHRC United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland-Us Partnership Development Grant for our proposal, 'From crowdsourcing to digitally-enabled participation: the country of the art in collaboration, admission, and inclusion for cultural heritage institutions', AH/T013052/one.
