Zooniverse - Through the Observatory
•
1 recomendación•489 vistas
- The document analyzes data from multiple citizen science projects on the Zooniverse platform to understand how participants interact and contribute. - It finds that while most participants only classify images, around 1% contribute a large portion (72%) of discussions in project talk pages. - The language used in talk pages evolves slightly over time within each project as domain-specific vocabulary emerges, but classification vocabulary remains stable.
