Abstract

Crowdsourcing is both a new paradigm of collaboration and a new frontier for CSCWD. Since its introduction in 2006, the notion of Crowdsourcing has been the object of a number of studies. Crowdsourcing has a multidisciplinary nature with a huge diversity of applications that encompasses many practices. The concepts that shape crowdsourcing are still under construction and it is difficult to reach a consensus. Based on this scenario, this paper proposes a meta-model which aims to fit generic solutions related to a specific subset of crowdsourcing designed to accomplish a specific task: Data Collection and Participatory Sensing to leverage the engagement of volunteers with Science and Environmental issues.
