Motivation

(from https://ecsa.citizen-science.net/sites/default/files/ecsa_ten_principles_of_citizen_science.pdf) Principle 7: Citizen science project data and metadata are made publicly available and where possible, results are published in an open access format. Principle 9: Citizen science programs are evaluated for their scientific output, data quality, participant experience and wider societal or policy impact. Principle 10: The leaders of citizen science project take into consideration legal and ethical issues surrounding copyright, intellectual property, data sharing agreements, confidentiality, attribution and the environmental impact of any activities.

Phases

• Phase 1: 2019
• Phase 2: 2020

How we work?

OGC and WeObserve have provided us with some resources:

• This foswiki site.
• A place for the activity in the OGC portal (it requires a OGC username)
• A GitHub repo to produce the ER at the end fo the activity. We can also use the 'issues' gtihub section for discussion on topics that should go to the ER.
• General discussions about interoperability (not related with the elaboration of the ER) can happen in the WeObserve CoP3 forum
• A open email list: interop-cop3@weobserveNOspamPlease.eu.
  • How to subscribe:
    1. Send a message to sympa@listsNOspamPlease.weobserve.eu from the address you want to subscribe to the list.
    2. In the subject line of your message, type in: subscribe interop-cop3@listsNOspamPlease.weobserve.eu Firstname Name
    3. Leave the message body blank.
    4. Obviously, do not include the NoSpamPlease text in the email addresses.

Future deliverables

Documentation: The following documentation will comprise the deliverables for the project. All artifacts and results associated with the experiment will be made available to OGC members.

• Engineering Report discussing the details and results. The report will include but not be limited to summaries of the activity plan, test plan et al supporting documentation as appropriate.
• Change Requests for OGC Standards as appropriate.
• Candidate OGC CS Best Practices as appropriate.

Demonstration:

• An Internet demonstration of all functioning components will be made towards the end of the experiment.
• This demonstration will be made persistent using the resources of OGC Network.
• A video recording of a public demonstration the experiment will be produced.
