PPSR Core is a set of global, transdisciplinary data and metadata standards for use in Public Participation in Scientific Research (Citizen Science) projects. These standards are united, supported, and underlined by a common framework illustrating how information is structured within the citizen science domain. This allows data to be used across platforms and projects in a consistent manner, furthering the research goals of the scientific community.
The CSA Data and Metadata Working Group has launched a new site to coordinate work around this effort: core.citizenscience.org.
We welcome your contributions to PPSR Core. This site is maintained by a diverse group of volunteers through the Citizen Science Association Data & Meta Data Working Group. Our international organization represents over 2K different citizen science projects with over 1M volunteers. This website serves as the canonical version. We keep track of our work within GitHub (no developer experience required). Proposed changes are made through GitHub pull requests and through the issue tracker. When our workgroup meets we review the pull requests to make decisions on inclusion within PPSR Core.
