EU FP7 Citizen CyberLab project

Introduction

CS4CS stands for Citizen Science for Citizen Science, i.e. a and it refers to a crowd sourcing and thinking project that aims to create an inventory of interesting citizen science projects.

CS4CS is embedded in EduTechWiki and accessible through a central hub page, called portal: citizen science

Participation

Signing up

Anyone can participate. However, since EduTechWiki is subject to heavy spamming attacks you will have to go through the somewhat tedious registration procedure.

Once you got an account, you either can create new entries for projects, infrastructure and software, or you can modify existing entries.

Editing existing entries

Unlike in a traditional wiki page, editing is done through forms, using the Edit with form button on top

Edit with form button

If you want to add information that can't be entered through the forms, you can do so using the "free text" field at the end.

Help us to improve CS4CS

You also can make suggestions regarding the forms and the visual display through the following three discussion pages:

Implementation

CS4CS was implemented using Semantic MediaWiki and in particular Semantic Forms.

Article types

We used the following templates and forms:
Entry types Form Template Comments
Citizen science projects form:Citizen science project template:Citizen science project
Citizen science infrastructure form:Citizen science infrastructure template:Citizen science infrastructure
Citizen science software form:Citizen science software template:Citizen science software
Bibliography item form:BibliographyForm template:Bibliography This template is embedded in the citizen science projects form

Query forms

In addition, we will use so-called filters and query templates. As of Oct 15 2013, these are not yet implemented...

Test: Special:RunQuery/Citizen_science_project_query, using the Form:Citizen science project query and the template:Citizen science project query
