6. Crowdsourcing Exercise
Task: Gather structured information about the three keynotes at ISWC2013, e.g.
find pictures
find research interests
find publications
etc.
Form groups of experienced and novices in practical crowdsourcing experience
Choose whether you would want to run the task on CrowdFlower or AMT
Create a simple design of the task (20 mins)
One group member presents the design to the whole workshop (5 mins)
Selected tasks will be performed on either AMT or CrowdFlower and we will discuss the
results at the wrap-up session
