Professor Leimeister organizes Dagstuhl seminar on "Crowdsourcing and the Semantic Web"
Prof. Leimeister organized a Dagstuhl Seminar on crowdsourcing and semantic webamin collaboration with Prof. Dr. Abraham Bernstein from the University of Zurich (CH), Dr. Natasha Noy from the Stanford Center for Biomedical Informatics Research (US) and Elena Simperl from the University of Southampton (GB). The seminar analyzed the use of existing crowdsourcing approaches to support traditional semantic web tasks and applications. In this context, it was also necessary to discuss theories, methods and techniques that can be used to develop better data management systems based on crowdsourcing. Based on the results, a research agenda with possible implementation plans was developed by the participants of the seminar.
The globally recognized Dagstuhl Seminars bring together leading researchers as well as young scientists and practitioners to discuss current challenges in specific areas. The participants of this seminar included a total of 27 established researchers in the field of crowdsourcing and the Semantic Web from the USA, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy and the Netherlands.
