Project managers have prepared these pictures describing tasks that can be done on one subpart of the pictures, here hoverflies pictures (5000) where we can potentially easily identify male and female looking at relative eyes position. - description of pictures batchs, tasks and gold standards (subpart of the 5000 pictures where the result (male or female) is known) as manner to get the data was send to MMOS - On the MMOS side, you have to populate the developer portal with pictures and provide all mandatory metadata - You then have to create the "web page" (have a look here for the hoverflies example https://github.com/galaxyecology/webhook_SPIPOLL_Flash/blob/master/templates/guess.html) who will populate the Galaxy webhook, display the picture (the task) and allow to submit an answer. - Here is a simple example, with a single picture displayed by task, but you can imagine many other possibilities, and not only on pitures! - You have thousands (or more) pictures you want to treat through a simple task?

Please don't hesitate to contact us! - it is good to help as in citizen science, three important issues regarding notably crowdsourcing related tasks are the fact that 1/very few people contribute to major part of results, 2/majority of contributors treat only few tasks and never come back, 3/opening contributors to others citizen science projects is difficult. Here the idea is to give a quite simple framework to create & manage tasks and data (MMOS platform http://mmos.ch/), have a GUI (web page on a web server, Galaxy webhook https://usegalaxy.eu/gapars-experiment/) and places where can shape the user experience (here the Galaxy Europe platform https://usegalaxy.eu/) - in the hoverflies example, the work done by Galaxy webhook analysts allow to extend metadata on already captured data and so can open new ways as training machine learning models or taking into account a new factor (here sex) in statistical modeling - what next ? - Disseminating the hoverflies "app" on others channels than https://usegalaxy.eu/ like ecology oriented website or forum. - creating others examples to better appreciate costs, limitations and potential of this approach +--- +site: freiburg +tags: [tools] +title: Massively Multiplayer Online Science in Galaxy to help Ecologists - a citizen science project. +--- + +A few years back the general webhook concept was contributed to the Galaxy codebase. +Webhooks have enabled custom modifications to the Galaxy User Interface (UI) without changing the Galaxy source code directly. +It has the advantage that the maintenance of costum changes is a lot easier.
