Gerhard Wohlgenannt Delivered a Report "The Integration of Crowdsourcing into Knowledge Engineering Workflows"

Gerhard Wohlgenannt, an assistant professor at the Institute of Information Business of the Vienna University of Economics and Business, has several well-known articles in the field of Knowledge Engineering.

The advent of the Web has significantly changed the context of systems that rely on formally specified knowledge, which led to opening up knowledge creation processes and tools to wider groups of contributors.
Further broadening of this process allows large populations of non-experts to create knowledge through the use of crowdsourcing techniques such as games or mechanised labour platforms. Crowdsourcing techniques can provide effective means for solving a variety of ontology engineering (and other knowledge-rich) problems. Yet, crowdsourcing is mainly used as external support to ontology engineering, without being integrated into the work of ontology engineers.
