[OSM-talk] Research on CrowdSourcing?

[David Fawcett]

I am working on a demo app to 'harness the crowd' to improve
locational data for features.

The data for this project is not in OSM (except potentially as part of
the infamous EPA import), and the output data will not be place into
OSM.  OSM data may likely be used for background layers in the app
though.

My goal is to improve the data, but also to test multiple validation
algorithms.  If anyone is aware of some good research on the
evaluation/validation of crowd-sourced data, I would greatly
appreciate it if you could point me to the source.

Thanks,

David.
