Human Computation Ontology

http://swa.cefriel.it/ontologies/hc#
(available also in RDF/XML, N3/TURTLE and NTRIPLE)

The Human Computation Ontology is the specification of the entities and relations occurring in a Human Computation campaign that employs human contributors in solving a set of tasks. The ontology is also available in N3/Turtle and in NTriple syntaxes. The Human Computation ontology is mapped to the Provenance Ontology (PROVO) to describe the results of a Human Computation approach in terms of their 'provenance', i.e. their origin within the tasks solved by human workers.

This work was partially done in the context of PlanetData, an EU co-funded collaboration research project.

Ontology

Human Computation Ontology a owl:Ontology
rdfs:comment	This ontology can be used to describe the results obtained via Human Computation. It maps the Human Computation approach to a provenance model. Specifically to Semantic Web and Linked Data, the ConsolidatedInformation collected through 'Semantic' Human Computation approaches can be RDF statements or RDF links between datasets.
rdfs:label	Human Computation Ontology
