Defining human-machine micro-task workflows for constitution making

Abstract

This paper presents a novel task-oriented approach to crowdsource the drafting of a constitution. By considering micro-tasking as a particular form of crowdsourcing, it defines a workflow-based approach based on Onto2Flow, an ontology that models the basic concepts and roles to represent workflowdefinitions. The approach is then applied to a prototype platform for constitution- making where human workers are requested to contribute to a set of tasks. The paper concludes by discussing previous approaches to participatory constitution- making and identifying areas for future work.
