Cultural Heritage, citizen science and crowdsourcing: new opportunities in the digital society
Keywords:
cultural heritage, citizen science, crowdsourcingAbstract
This article proposes that the inevitable strengthening of the digital infrastructure to be carried out by cultural institutions linked to heritage after the Covid-19 pandemic creates the possibility of developing initiatives that promote horizontality and collaboration in relationships with citizens. In this case, two proposals in this line are reviewed: citizen e-science and crowdsourcing. After proposing certain definitions and characteristics that particularize each practice, a comment is made on initiatives of this type in Chile during 2020 and challenges are outlined to consider in order to take advantage of their advantages.
