Crowdsourcing Text-building of Picture Resource in Digital Libraries

Abstract

Abstract:

With the popularity of digital public libraries comes the important task of text-building of picture resource. This paper studies the issue of incorporating crowdsourcing into text-building. Firstly,professional evaluation should be carried out, and building strategies (e.g., transcription and proofreading)
as well as implementation methods (e.g., text input, CAPTCHA, games) need to be considered. The text contributed by volunteers must be checked. This paper summarizes three ways of checking, namely, human checking, checking based on guessing, and consistency checking. At last, four measures for ensuring textbuilding quality are discussed.

Key words:

Digital libraries, Crowdsourcing, Picture resource, Text-building
