Johan Oomen, Lora Aroyo (2011). Crowdsourcing in Cultural Heritage Domain: Opportunities & Challenges.

“Enabling anything like seamless access to the cultural record will require developing tools to navigate among vast catalogs of born-digital and digitized materials […] The return on this investment will be a humanities and social science cyberinfrastructure that will allow new questions to be asked, new patterns and relations to be discerned, and deep structures in language, society, and culture to be exposed and explored.”
