Ontology to describe the crowdsourcing campaigns for collecting sources from the general public
Competency Questions:
- What outcomes crowdsource campaigns produced?
- Which organisation is organising a crowdsource campaign?
- Who is managing what aspect of the campaign?
- How is contributing to crowdsourcing campaign and producing what outcome?
- Which experiential concepts a task is addressing?
- Given an experiential concept, which resources are being generated to inform about this concept?
In the context of research project is often necessary to collect material from a crowdsource campaign. A campaign can be managed by one or more actors (organizations and people) with the aim of collecting a type of resource. Participants may be compensated for participating to one or more tasks. The tasks and campaign in general produces and users resources.
This ontology is used to describe the crowdsource campaign of the EU JPI READ-IT project. The crowdsource campaigns are carried along the duration of the project and with different modalities (see contribute page), such as physical postcards during events, an online contribution platform, conversation with a chatbot @TellMeWhatUReadingbot.
The folder chatbot includes examples of data generated by the chatbot and scripts to convert individual documents in a JSON-LD graph.
Support to json-ld by including the context in json-ld/context.json file.

Examples are included in the json-ld/examples/ folder, such as:

This ontology is inspired by the following is mostly based on the "Ontology focused crowdsourcing management" of Ari Sivula, Jussi Kantola. This work is a readaptation as it changes the focus from the organization (e.g. maturity level of the organization) to the operational aspects of the crowdsourcing: the campaigning and production of resources.
Furthermore, the ontology is insired or reuses entities from the following:
- Schema.org
- An Ontology Design Pattern for Activity Reasoning
- ActivitySpecification Ontology Design Pattern
- AgentRole Ontology Design Pattern
- Objectrole Ontology Design Pattern
- Role task Ontology Design Pattern
- Experience & Observation Ontology Design Pattern
- OWL Time
- W3C Annotation
- W3C PROV-O
- READ-IT Reading Experience Ontology
