Evaluation of video labeling game ‘Waisda?’
On the 19th of May 2009 the Dutch Institute for Sound and Vision launched ‘Waisda?’ in collaboration with KRO, an innovative annotation game for video. In the form of a challenging game Waisda? asks the player to add keywords (tags) to video material. Its goal is to enhance the searchability of audiovisual archives.
Waisda? is based upon the principle that one can speak of a meaningful description when several people individually give the same tag to a video. Waisda? is the world’s first operational video labeling game for audiovisual collections. Waisda? is part of a series of pilots that are being implemented within the project Images for the Future to explore the possibilities of public participation and has now been evaluated after a 6 month trial period.
