Digital data is easy to access from everywhere

Page 22: Citizen Science in the era of the Square Kilometre Array

Digital data access is blind to who you are

Page 23: Citizen Science in the era of the Square Kilometre Array

Digital data access is (mostly) blind to who you are

How is this possible?

Page 34: Citizen Science in the era of the Square Kilometre Array

How is this possible?

• Analog → Digital Data

• Common Data Formats

• Anonymous Access

• Lots of scientific Meta-Data

Hidden

treasures!

Citizen Science is science done by many citizens, looking at

real scientific data

Page 41: Citizen Science in the era of the Square Kilometre Array

Citizen Science ⟷ Crowdsourced Data Science

Page 42: Citizen Science in the era of the Square Kilometre Array

Citizen Science ⟷ Crowdsourced Data Science• Data (and metadata!) needs to be very well curated/mantained/

tagged so that both the existing data exposed to citizens, and the data provided by them, can be meaningfully linked together.

→ Spatial: Telescope Centric (Az/Alt), Earth centric (RA/Dec, FK4, FK5, ICRS), Solar centric (Ecliptic), Galactic centric (Galactic coordinates), Super galactic…

→ Temporal: UTC, TAI, Julian date, HA… and cosmology times/distances!

→ Observable: Polarisation, Flux…

Page 43: Citizen Science in the era of the Square Kilometre Array

Citizen Science ⟷ Cloud Science

Page 44: Citizen Science in the era of the Square Kilometre Array

Citizen Science ⟷ Cloud Science• The only way to gather everyone is in the cloud

• Working on local copies is hard → remote tools allow for easier integration of contributions

• Do you have the tool?

• Do you know there the data is?

• Do I have permission to change this?

But this is the challenge we’re facing!

What tools can we use to…

• Visualise those datasets? → Remote vs Local visualisation and interaction

• Process those datasets for additional science → Remote vs Local processing

Conclusions• Citizen Science is enabled by ICT… and so is science for new large

research facilities

• Challenges for Citizen Science are challenges for normal science in the SKA era

• Citizen Science makes some new science possible ⟷ Asynchronous Pro/Amateur collaboration

• Techniques are multi-disciplinary, not just for astronomy!

Conclusions• Citizen Science is enabled by ICT… and so is science for new large

research facilities

• Challenges for Citizen Science are challenges for normal science in the SKA era → we need to sort it out!

• Citizen Science makes some new science possible ⟷ Asynchronous Pro/Amateur collaboration

• Techniques are multi-disciplinary, not just for astronomy!

We have not spoken about…

• Digital literacy ⟷ Coding

• Open Data ⟷ Virtual Observatory :: Social Siences ⟷ Astronomy

• Metadata and Curation

• Citizen Science-like Infrastructures: e-Government, Integrated Healthcare…
