Crowd Sourcing for Conservation: Web 2.0 a Powerful Tool for Biologists
The advent and adoption of Web 2.0 technologies offers a powerful approach to enhancing the capture of information in natural resource ecology, notably community knowledge of species distributions. Such information has previously been collected using, for example, postal surveys; these are typically inefficient, with low response rates, high costs, and requiring respondents to be spatially lite...
متن کاملCrowd Sourcing Web Service Annotations
Web service annotation is of crucial importance to enable efficient search and discovery of such services, especially for those that are REST based. However, the process of annotating such services has several drawbacks, whether automated or not. Automated processes are quite inaccurate and do not in general provide quality annotations. Manual processes are very expensive, both in time, effort ...
متن کاملUsing Expertise for Crowd-Sourcing
In this paper, we examine whether the use of expertise ratings can help crowd-sourcing systems. We show, using simulations, that a crowd-sourcing system based in social navigation works better when users’ expertise levels are taken into account.
متن کاملGenomic toolboxes for conservation biologists
Conservation genetics is expanding its research horizon with a genomic approach, by incorporating the modern techniques of next-generation sequencing (NGS). Application of NGS overcomes many limitations of conservation genetics. First, NGS allows for genome-wide screening of markers, which may lead to a more representative estimation of genetic variation within and between populations. Second, ...
متن کاملPlacing Landmarks in the Knowledge Space: A Web Tool for Crowd-sourcing Landmark Publications to Benchmark Text-mining Predictions
It is generally perceived that text-mining systems have failed to deliver on the promise of predicting novel, meaningful relationships between biomedical concepts. Despite successes where novel relationships have been inferred and later confirmed by laboratory experiments, there are many more cases where text-mining did not predict the outcome of high-throughput experiments or population-based ...
