    Poster abstract (poster session Monday April 25)
    The overall purpose of the poster is to present how crowdsourcing has been applied to a historical-epidemiolocal research project about the 1918 pandemic. Moreover, how we by automatic segmentation of historical records generated sets of microtasks that by means of a digital platform was distributed to individuals based on individual domain specific knowledge. And consequently, generated more accurate data significant faster. Presenters are Lone Simonsen (RUC), S?ren K. Poder (RUC) and Christian M?ller Dahl (SDU).

    Presentation 'Start making sence' (expected Tuesday April 26)
    A workshop on adding contextual knowledge to culture heritages collections by engaging the crowd. The purpose of this workshop is to actively engage members and researchers from different domains (cultural heritage, data sociology etc.) in a discussion on how engaging the crowd in “human in the loop” computation schemes might be able to connect and enrich the huge variation of different digital cultural heritage collections. For instance, images, audio-visual, texts, art paintings etc. Speakers are: Max Odsbjerg Pedersen (KB), Jonas Heide Smith (SMK), S?ren K. Poder (RUC) and Jacob Sherson (AU).
