Policy makers. The workshop on user requirements for policy makers was held in Malta. As already mentioned before, local Maltese cultural heritage professionals and policy makers were present at the workshop and were eager to voice their opinions and give out their recommendations to improve our research. Below are some of the key points that were raised in the discussion that took place on the second day of the workshop:  Real accessibility needs to be available, not a theoretical one.

No curators or directors should deem themselves the exclusive owners of such a collection.  Citizens should never be considered as a subject in the research, or as a source. Their role should be that of an active participant in the research. Amongst these and other comments that were voiced during the discussion, multiple people shared one common thought; that they were all eager to see the results of the Civic Epistemologies project. A discussion on the technological infrastructure took place during the workshop, throughout which these issues were brought up:  A basic framework needs to be developed which can then be adapted and reworked depending on the nature of the citizen science project that is being undertaken. This needs to be produced as a software or application.  Constant support for the software needs to be available to whoever is using it.  A serious issue that arose was...
