It computes user reputation scores without requiring ground truth; instead, it is based on the consistency among users. In this pilot study, we perform some explorative data analysis on two real crowdsourcing projects by the New York Public Library: extracting building footprints as polygons from historical insurance atlases, and geolocating historical photographs. We show that the computed reputation scores are plausible and furthermore provide insight into user behavior. %@ 978-1-4503-6032-6/18/11
