Social Moderation and Dynamic Elements in Crowdsourced Geospatial Data: A Report on Quality Assessment, Dynamic Extensions and Mobile Device Engagement in the George Mason University Geocrowdsourcing Testbed

Abstract

This report documents the development of the George Mason University Geocrowdsourcing Testbed (GMU-GcT), whose purpose is to provide a platform for studying the dynamics, limitations, and best practices of geocrowdsourcing. We present a comprehensive study of the social moderation process in the GMU-GcT and the quality parameters of information in the GMU-GcT. We present an analysis of device-based positioning in mobile geocrowdsourcing, and use the study and our analysis as a context for dynamic application extensions of the GMU-GcT in the areas of field-based obstacle moderation, obstacle interaction, and accessible routing.
