users on the Internet through portals such as Wikipedia, YouTube, 
Flickr, Twitter, Blogs, OpenStreetMap, and various social networks at an 
unprecedented scale and staggering rate. The objective of the college is 
to develop novel methods and approaches towards the quality-oriented 
analysis and exploration of crowdsourced Web 2.0 data.
