This project will study the accuracy and repeatability of
crowd-sourced scientific data in heritage science.  In other words:
it aims to calibrate the crowd as an analytical instrument.  This
challenging and urgent research problem has not been properly
addressed in any scientific field.  In a few years, most of the
world's population will have access to sensor-packed and
network-enabled smartphones.  It is evident that this growing
technical capacity for producing and sharing data will have a great
impact in many scientific disciplines, including heritage science.
We therefore need to study what aspects of this measurement process
affect the quality of crowd sourced scientific data.
