Crowd

“众包是一种参与在线活动，其中一个人，一个机构，非营利组织或公司通过灵活的开放式通话，自愿承诺来提出一个不同的知识，异质性和数字的个人一个任务。任务的承诺，可变复杂性和模块化，以及人群应该参与他们的工作，金钱，知识和/或经验，始终需要互利。用户将获得给定类型的需求，成为经济，社会认可，自尊心或个人技能的发展，而众群人将获得并利用他们的优势，用户向企业带来了什么，其形式将取决于所做的活动类型“。Estellés和González在2012年在信息科学期刊上提出的这种定义是在Wikipedia上的Lemma众群中发现，这本身就是众包中最经典的例子之一。

Crowdsourcing is in the air and opinion leaders in different fields are researching possibilities of the concept for the benefit of their own field. As is the land administration and cadastral world, where billions of parcels still need to be surveyed before they can be entered into a land administration system to give millions a base for their economic existence. What could be more appealing, and maybe easy, and efficient than to have the crowds do a lot of work for the different governments and national mapping agencies? Wouldn’t it be quick and cheap, involving the subjects of the system, the landowners themselves, in acquiring data?

I am pleased to introduce to you a series of articles on crowdsourcing in188金宝搏特邀. In this issue we kick-off with a feature article The Crowdsourced Cadastre by contributing editors Rohan Bennett and Paul van der Molen. The authors predict the future of crowdsourcing in land administration which could unwind into several scenarios. One firm conclusion might be, after reading their article, that all of the talk about the crowdsourced cadastre is still in time, because – as Bennett and Van der Molen have identified - there is no crowd evident in the cadastral realm yet that has voluntarily taken up a task, nor has there been a flexible, open call to the crowd coming from an institution so far. I am referring back to the definition mentioned above.

大问题是，尽管许多领域的愿望，希望或预测，将来会有吗？是否有可能从志愿者获得可靠的数据，根本没有接受培训的地理信息？银行是否会根据志愿的地理信息发出抵押贷款或贷款？众包真正改变机构，或者是“人群”在制度化的土地管理世界中的帮助？现在的问题比答案更多。我们将在同一主题上提出更多文章，试图在未来展示讨论，绘制和起草人群中的角色，沿着沿途揭露一些神话，并以更多的问题喂养社区。请加入我们网站m.skyfoldde.com的讨论，以便人群提出答案。
