This report gives an overview of the service system design, requirements, specifications and architecture for the main products ¿ Citi-Sense-MOB Citizen Observatory Toolbox (COT), which comprises of a series of applications that support and complement each other. These include the concept for COT, service design concept and methodologies, the COT target groups, and a set of COT (e.g., data, web apps, mobile apps, maps, services, methodologies, etc.).

This document is a technical description of the CITI-SENSE main products described in the CITI-SENSE portfolio of products. These products were developed, extended or adjusted in the CITI-SENSE project to fulfil and maintain the overall chain «sensor-platform-products-user» with primary focus on the interface and link between the products and the end users.

Products are described from a developer¿s view and include information about the case studies and their requirements, technical description of architecture, code structures and database and storage platforms. Information about current status as of June 30 2016, with suggested improvements and lessons learned during the project process, are included for each product.

Adequate infrastructure for citizen science is constantly growing and has become increasingly important in providing support to citizen science activities, both nationally and internationally. Many types of citizen science infrastructures exist, with different functionalities. This chapter focuses on current citizen science platforms. The platforms addressed in this chapter are those which display citizen science data and information, provide good practical examples and toolkits, collect relevant scientific outcomes, and are accessible to different stakeholders, ranging from interested citizens to scientific institutions to authorities, politicians, and public media. We present current citizen science platforms in Europe and associated (inter)national citizen science networks and discuss how these platforms have become increasingly vital within citizen science. Based on these examples, we elaborate on challenges for citizen science platforms, such as establishing and financing platforms, designing user interfaces, maintaining platforms, promoting the usage of platforms, etc. We conclude with an outlook into potential development needs of citizen science platforms in the future.
