The Semantic Web and the Next Generation of Human Computation

Semantic Web Technologies and Human Computation systems have great promise in working together. Human Computation has been used as a solution to help with curating Semantic Web data in the Linked Open Data cloud. In turn, the Semantic Web helps could be used to provide better user continuity and platform consistency across Human Computation systems, allowing for more complex, connected and global Human Computation system to be explored. In this chapter we explore previous work in this combination of the Semantic Web and Human Computation, and raise some challenges and research goals for future work.
