Dynamically expiring crowd-sourced content

摘要

Example apparatus and methods concern dynamically expiring crowd-sourced content (CSC) in a crowd-sourced database. An example apparatus may include logic for acquiring the CSC, where the CSC is data produced by a mobile device concerning a point of interest. The example apparatus also includes logic for producing an evaluation of the CSC and logic for determining an expiration criteria based on the CSC, the evaluation, and the user. The CSC may be data about a point of interest. The evaluation may be based on the completeness, timeliness, or contents of the CSC. The expiration criteria may be established based on the evaluation of the CSC and a user profile. The expiration criteria or user profile may be manipulated based on confirmation or repudiation of the CSC by a different user or by curation of the CSC.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
accessing crowd-sourced content in a crowd-sourced database, the crowd-sourced content comprising a point of interest data set, where the point of interest data set is stored on a computer-readable storage medium; establishing a quality measure for the point of interest data set; establishing an expiration criteria for a point of interest associated with the point of interest data set, where the expiration criteria is a function of the point of interest data set and the quality measure, and selectively expiring the point of interest or the crowd-sourced content based on the expiration criteria.
