ENVIROFI
FI-PPP Environmental Usage Area
• FI Requirements• Specific Enablers• Envirofied cross-area Applications
ENVIROFI Scenarios
1. Bringing Biodiversity into the Future Internet• Enabled biodiversity surveys with advanced ontologies• Analysis, quality assurance and dissemination of biodiversity data
2. Personal Information System for Air Pollutants, allergens and meteorological conditions
• Enhance human to environment interaction• Atmospheric conditions and pollution in “the palm of your hand”
3. Collaborative Usage of Marine Data Assets• Assess needs of key marine user communities• Selection of representative marine use cases for further trial:
leisure and tourism, ocean energy devices, aquaculture, oil spill alert

Three learning strategies

Classical: large information intake, well in-advance to use

Learning by doing: trial and error method
Illustration from: The Black Cat Diaries
Learning while doing: just in time intake of information in small portions

Biodiversity Personal environmental Information
Which species are common in my area?
What is my current and cumulative exposure?
What species is this? Am I allergic to pollen? Sensitive to weather changes? Ozone? …
Is it dangerous? Is any of the factors I’m sensitive to likely to occur tomorrow?
Is it edible?
Will it fall and ruin my car?
Support „learning while doing“

Objective Possible approach
How to use the application? Tooltips or popup messages on first use (implemented)
Training to recognise objects
Scavenger hunt for known and tagged objects
Learn to avoid misidentifications
control questions & feedback
A-posteriori feedback Notify user when more info on the object is available (implemented)
Classify data & assess users knowledge
Generalized re-capcha principle
Other ideas?
“Generalized re-captcha“ example

Question: Which of these photos show maple leafs?
(known, maple) (known, oak) (unknown)
1. System mixes known and unknown samples 2. User can choose yes/no/can‘t say for each photo3. Correlate all answers to: (1) correlate known and unknown samples;
and (2) determine users level of knowledge4. Add feedback for training purposes
