Dear Cristiano,
Thanks for sharing this information, very interesting to grasp how this all
works. The combination of many taggers, the CSA auto-accept/discard tool and
human supervisors for ambiguous tags seems like a powerful and efficient
approach. Also interesting to note that the general public scored at least
as well as the professionals through using this tool! Evidence of latter
could be useful in trying to convince curatorial staff that the general
public can really help with projects, if properly guided and supported.
Regards
Paul
