Abstract
Standardizing Citizen Science?
Highlights
The use of standards can help scientists and volunteers collect, exchange, and understand information within and beyond the initial data collection context
While citizen science is valued as a method that can help address complex global problems, integrating a range of interdisciplinary data from diverse sources, as required by projects like Global Mosquito Alert Bowser et al 2017, can be a formidable technical challenge
In 2015, a consortium of individuals dedicated to understanding and addressing these challenges was formalized through the Data and Metadata Working Group of the Citizen Science Association (CSA)
Summary
The use of standards can help scientists and volunteers collect, exchange, and understand information within and beyond the initial data collection context. The state of data standardization and interoperability in citizen science is currently limited.
