Aggregation Assemble Curate Engagement Internationalize Personalize Contextualize Computation Semantics Mining EOL v1 EOL v2 eol.org

Scientific Databases Scientific Journals Curate Comment Rate Comment Rate eol.org EOL aggregates and curates: a content curation community Aggregate

Scope All species Global Many audiences – enthusiasts – learners – citizen scientists – scientists

Community challenges Mostly in English So much content, hard to make sense of it Need incentives to come back Need to empower everyone

Internationalizing

Personalizing

Collections can be practical

A collection of collections: Species in different areas of the National Zoo

Fascinating textures: a scavenger hunt

Communities to share interests … or to share work

Why Curate?

Institutional obligations Citable online work Accurate info on internet Advertise my expertise Highlight my research Meet needs of my project Supervising someone else n=161 Most importantLeast important Why scientists want to curate EOL
