The primary focus of this experiment is to demonstrate the interoperability of Citizen Science projects and the way OGC standards can be applied to Citizen Science. a subset of these topics are addressed in this edition:
* Vocabularies for organizing Citizen Science projects
* Data sharing using OGC standards such as O&M and SOS
* Connection Citizen Science projects federations and other authentication systems
* Data quality

The activity started In September 2018 and will last until June 2019. This meeting in Vienna represents a milestone in the Interoperability Experiment were major results should be achieved and preparation for final collection of lessons learned will start.
If you are part of a Citizen Science project, you can still join the group as an observer or active participant.
