They will need other incentives to engage with the game :-) But the results would be more useful, indeed. A second problem that I've seen with the increasing number of games being released over the past years (including ours) is that they produce very similar data sets, mostly in general-purpose domains, for which there are actually knowledge bases available containing that knowledge (as RDF). Having a standard means to reuse such crowdsourced data sets would make the games definitely more valuable. > > > Elena > >> >> Others: Are there any other games out there? >> >> >> iand is working on a game: >> >> http://blog.iandavis.com/2012/05/21/wolfie/ >> >> >> -- >> >> Regards, >> >> Kingsley Idehen >> Founder & CEO >> OpenLink Software >> Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com >> Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen >> <http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/%7Ekidehen> >> Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen >> Google+ Profile: >> https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about >> LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen >> >> >> >> >> >> > > > -- > Dr. Elena Simperl > Assistant Professor > Karlsruhe Institute of Technology > t:+49 721 608 45778 <tel:%2B49%20721%20608%2045778> > m:+49 1520 1600994 <tel:%2B49%201520%201600994> > e:elena.simperl@kit.edu <mailto:elena.simperl@kit.edu> > > -- Dr. Elena Simperl Assistant Professor Karlsruhe Institute of Technology t: +49 721 608 45778 m: +49 1520 1600994 e: elena.simperl@kit.edu
