The document discusses the Modeling Crowdsourcing for Cultural Heritage (MOCCA) project. MOCCA aims to analyze crowdsourcing projects to determine what factors lead to success and develop a tool to help design effective crowdsourcing initiatives. It lists the project team members and states the objectives are to study two past projects, answer what makes a crowdsourcing project successful, and create a crowdsourcing design tool. It also provides background on a workshop hosted by MOCCA team members to crowdsource a model for crowdsourcing cultural heritage projects.

12. Digital Strategies for Heritage (DISH) 2013
2 & 3 December 2013, De Doelen, Rotterdam
Workshop report
Hosts: Julia Noorgraaf, Alexandra Eveleigh, Angela Bartholomew, Pieter Woltjer
Title: Workshop crowdsourcing a crowdsourcing model for CH (MOCCA)
Introduction
The Modeling Crowdsourcing for Cultural Heritage (MOCCA) project, a joint research endeavor of the
Creative Industry Research Centre Amsterdam and the Centre for Digital Humanities of the University
of Amsterdam, aims to steer more effective crowdsourcing projects for galleries, libraries, archives,
and museums. By defining a set of conditions and requirements that help to determine to the relative
success of crowdsourcing projects, the MOCCA Project works to develop a nuanced tool that can be
used by cultural heritage organizations to better design their own tailor-made projects.
The Crowdsourcing a Crowdsourcing Model for Cultural Heritage Workshop will explain the necessity
of this research to the field, using the Amsterdam City Archives' current Red Een Portret (Save a
Portrait) project as a key case study. After preliminary results of the MOCCA project have been
introduced, participants will be divided into groups to test a version of the model in-progress against
their own plans for crowdsourcing projects. Each participant is requested to prepare by bringing a plan
for a crowdsourcing project from their own institution, either existing or hypothetical, paying special
attention to key attributes of the project such as the characteristics of the collection, the goals of the
project, and the skills or expertise volunteers will require to complete the task. The workshop will
enable participants to gain knowledge about the conditions necessary to design a successful project
while also helping to evaluate and improve the functionality of the tool.
