[OSM-talk] Research on CrowdSourcing?

[Matthias Meißer]

Hi David,
the solutions is quiet easy. This wiki list is the #1 resource for 
scientific belongs on OSM (and some other VGI, see the 'OSM dedicated' 
icon).

I'm not aware if there is stuff that matches your topic that exactly. As 
you might see there are some scientist, that are very involved in 
research on OSM:
-Prof. Zipf (Germany, EU)
-Dr. Muki Haklay (GB, EU)

regards
Matthias
