Short term goal: develop a platform that asks users to supply information they are geographically well-suited to provide.

Medium-term goal: improve data coverage of unisex/accessible, etc. toilets in Zurich.

Long-term goal: open the platform to allow other organisations to submit requests for geo-crowdsourcing.

Components:

  • List of points of interest (eg restaurants where we don't know what the toilets are like)
  • Web-based system for data entry and cross-verification
  • Twitter bot (and other bots, eg flickr watchers) to ask people to fill in data
  • Crawler/scraper to find out additional information (contact info, etc.)

Data points of interest:

  • unisex
  • accessible
  • baby changing facilities
  • baby changing facilities for men

Started developing the Twitter bot, which currently prints out tweets that happen within about 500m of a point of interest.
