UrbanGames - Motivation


Urban Computing and Location-based Services

Linked Data and Semantic Web

Games with a Purpose and

Crowdsourcing

Urban GamesUrban Games

citizens as sensors, check-in logging, mobile apps

collecting data, cleaning data, engaging the user, supporting the user while entertaining him/her

open/gov data, structured data, social networks,

tourism data and recommendations

Slide 4 of 12

UrbanGames - Approach

• Urban Games:• to consume, create and assess the quality of

Smart Cities-related Linked Data

• via a Human Computation approach

• for users in mobility with smart phone devices

• Traditional Human Computation approaches are based on users' domain knowledge…

…while Urban Games are based on and aim at exploiting "on site" users' experience knowledge

Slide 5 of 12

UrbanGames - the story so far

• State-of-the-art analysis

• Concept generation

• Concept selection � Urbanopoly

• Prototype implementation


Slide 6 of 12

Urbanopoly – high-level view


LinkedGeoData(OpenStreetMap)

bootstrap of "venues" data

players

game to buy / sell venues with missions

data about venues as missions

GWAP approach to consolidate dataverified / improved data

+ new data

Game purpose: check and correct pre-existing data from LinkedGeoData (OpenStreetMap) + collect missing data

Slide 7 of 12

Urbanopoly – how it works


home players "visit" venues from the map

players have missions to get venues/money

Slide 8 of 12

Urbanopoly – how it works


data validation missions

data addition or correction missions

social incentive

Slide 9 of 12

Urbanopoly – evaluation

• Validation/correction of pre-existing data• Accuracy

• Completeness

• Collection of new data• Accuracy

• Ranking

• "Popularity" of information

• Engagement • Throughput

• Average Lifetime Play

• Usability/playability


Slide 10 of 12

Urbanopoly – modelling issue

Ok, we gathered data: now what?

1. Simply publish data like LinkedGeoData

2. Add dataset/linkset description (VoID)

3. Add provenance (PROV-O) and confidence annotations

4. Consider games as sensors data ("human as sensors" reusing SSN)

5. Stress the "data quality" aspect (extending DQM vocabulary)

6. …


Slide 11 of 12

Urbanopoly – next steps

• Release on Google Play (next week)

• Data gathering and consolidation

• Evaluation• Game purpose

• Adopted approach

• Potential exploitation analysis (WP10)• Stakeholders' matrix

• Possible Urbanopoly extensions
