Portal: citizen science

Sponsored by the citizen cyberlab projet

This portal is not yet operational and will be expanded over the next few month. Currently we are still designing semantic forms. A first version should be made by the end of August 2013 - Daniel K. Schneider (talk) 14:09, 27 July 2013 (CEST)

Introduction

Citizen science is scientific research with the participation of amateurs. Participants can provide computing power (and other resources), collect data, classify data, analyze data or sometimes participate more actively in the research. In other terms, one could distinguish between volunteer computing, volunteer thinking, volonteer sensing, volonteer gaming and extreme (participatory) citizen science.

The citizen science article contains some notes that were taken in order to prepare the project.

Documented projects and infrastructure

Warning: We currently are still designing the forms and templates. Contents, right now, are just for testing... Daniel K. Schneider (talk) 14:58, 1 August 2013 (CEST).
