An Overview of Citizen Science Needs for Biodiversity Standards and Tools

This paper provides an overview of the needs for biodiversity standards and tools in citizen science, highlighting the importance of increasing spatial and temporal scales, sharing information and data, and improving data quality. It also discusses the role of citizen scientists, the need for science library infrastructure, and the increasing specialization in the field.

  9. Data Quality - IG Factor

  10. The Invisible Gorillaby Christopher Chabris & Daniel Simons Illusions of Attention Memory Confidence Knowledge Cause

  11. Quality Assurance Project Plans Initial and continued Training of Observers Rating Observers Experience in participation Review by more experienced observers Electronic Filtering based on previous data collected Recheck with Observer Digital Voucher Data Quality

  12. Domain experts Interface designer Educators Software Engineers Scientists Working in Teams Remembering what motivates and what discourages citizens

  13. Know the Human Observation Sensor! From a stroll by the stream to RSRs

  14. Standards: Common names in the Global Names Service Architecture • Tools that: Promote field naturalists groups to standardize names and interact with taxonomists Use Common Names --

  15. As more citizen science data gets published and used, especially in conjunction with other data, scientists want to now about data quality. More Explicit Support for Data Quality

  16. Support for Ecological Studies Habitats Microhabitats Methods for observations - Sampling effort Ecological relationships
