Abstract
Crowdsourcing information systems can be classified in many different ways. One of the classifications can be the nature of collaboration: explicit or implicit. In explicit collaboration systems (e.g., Wikipedia or Linux), users collaborate explicitly to build information artifacts. On the other hand, implicit collaboration systems let users collaborate implicitly to solve a problem for the system owners.
