Abstract

This paper describes a web-based community design to facilitate the emergent "wisdom of crowds." The World Wide Web was first created as a publishing platform, but is now becoming a platform for two-way communication, and thanks to its flexibility, various types of communication have emerged. The Web has various advantages over older systems, and enables form of massively interactive collaboration that would not be possible via real-world communication channels. This new platform is powerful, but designing for communities in this medium requires a high degree of new forms of knowledge. In this paper, we survey requirements for the emergent wisdom of crowds and use case studies to discuss the possibility of designing a community on the Web to support such wisdom. We also discuss the role of the wisdom of crowds for generating both objective content e.g., knowledge and software tools, and subjective content, such as art and entertainment, based on an analysis of an actual dataset from a video sharing web-site.
