The purpose of these surveys is to gather information from the collections community regarding your experience incorporating changes into your local collections databases. The goal is to compile and share findings at SPNHC-TDWG 2018 as part of the SPNHC symposium: Challenges for Implementing Collections Data Quality Feedback: synthesizing the community experience.
The focus for the surveys are on the skills, processes, and resources needed (or missing) when collections staff work to integrate data from aggregators and/or crowd-sourced transcriptions back into their local databases. The critical information collected in these surveys will be shared to help current and future programs design and implement improved data integration and data quality efforts. Many changes might need to be integrated into collection databases. These two surveys focus on :
- data quality feedback suggestions from aggregators, and
- information provided by crowdsourcing efforts (e.g., online transcription platforms)
Please take either questionnaire, or both, as is appropriate. Each survey is estimated to take a maximum of 5 to 10 minutes.
Survey 1: Integrating Data Quality Feedback from Aggregators into Collection Databases
Survey 2: Integrating Crowdsourced Data into Collection Databases
The surveys are now closed.
