Privacy aspects of Citizen Science
• Spatial Citizen (meta)data is in the heart of the privacy discussion
• Follow privacy by design best practices

COBWEB & INSPIRE
• Expose citizen science contributions using INSPIRE practices
• INSPIRE data as authoritative source for quality assurance of citizen observations
• Citizen science to evaluate data quality of INSPIRE data
