Autopsy of a Comment: A Study of Metadata Produced by the Public in the Cultural Sector

摘要

Despite the attention paid to the phenomenon of crowdsourcing in a library context, few studies offer an empirical analysis of comments published by the public. Through three case studies, this article aims to observe the influence of the publication context on the content of comments. The results reveal the characteristics of these comments, thus providing a better understanding of the possibilities and limitations of crowdsourcing for the cultural sector.
