Abstract:
The Urbanopoly app is a social, mobile and location-based Game with a Purpose designed around the idea of the "monopoly" board game. Urbanopoly consumes and generates geo-spatial linked and open data; through a Human Computation mechanisms, those data are validated and enriched; new information is published as linked data. Players are thus involved in the geo-spatial data collection according to the "citizens as sensors" approach and the Urbanopoly game is the entertaining expedient to assess and improve geo-spatial linked data quality.
