Field Data Collection Platform: Research, Surveys & Citizen Science

Collect georeferenced observations for research, surveys, and field studies.

Our research team needs to collect and map field observations across multiple study sites. We need GPS-tagged photos, custom attributes per category, and API export for analysis.

I'll set up a FieldResearch workspace with categories for your study: Biodiversity Observation, Habitat Assessment, Environmental Sample, and Damage Documentation. Each category can have custom attributes via Service Definitions. All data exports via the Open311 API with timestamps and coordinates.

Co je Research & Field Data Collection?

Field data collection with Mark-a-Spot works on any smartphone or tablet. Research teams define their observation categories, each with custom attributes (species name, condition rating, sample type, or whatever the study requires). Contributors open the map, drop a pin at their location, take a photo, fill in the attributes, and submit. The record carries GPS coordinates from the device, a timestamp, and the photo with its EXIF metadata.

Professional researchers use FieldResearch for structured surveys: biodiversity monitoring across transects, archaeological site inventories, tree health assessments, environmental damage mapping after storms or floods. Citizen science projects use the same tool to mobilize volunteers at scale. A university publishes the map link, participants contribute observations from the field, and the dataset grows without hiring additional staff.

Every observation is accessible through the Open311 API, the same open standard used by cities worldwide. Filter by category, date range, or bounding box. Export to CSV for spreadsheets and GIS import via its coordinate columns, or consume the JSON API directly from R, Python, or any analysis pipeline. The dashboard provides visual summaries and direct download.

Data ownership stays with the project. The platform runs on open standards, so data is never locked in. Multi-language support covers 18 languages, making it suitable for international research collaborations. Photo documentation with GPS metadata provides verifiable evidence chains for regulatory compliance, academic publications, and long-term monitoring programs.

Custom Attributes per Category
Each observation category (Service Definition) carries its own attribute set: species name, condition rating, sample type, material, or any field your study needs. Configured in the admin panel, no code changes required.
GPS Photo Documentation
Every record includes a photo with GPS coordinates and EXIF metadata from the device. The combination of visual evidence and precise location creates a verifiable record chain for publications and regulatory compliance.
Open311 API Export
All data is accessible through the Open311 API. Filter by category, date, or bounding box. Use the JSON API from R, Python, or any analysis pipeline, or export CSV with coordinates for QGIS and ArcGIS.
Multi-language Support
The platform supports 18 languages, making it suitable for international research collaborations and cross-border citizen science projects. Categories and attributes can be localized.

Pro koho to je?

University research projects

Build georeferenced datasets for field studies. Define custom attributes per observation type, deploy to student teams and field assistants, and export structured data for statistical analysis and GIS workflows. The Open311 API integrates with R, Python, and QGIS.

Environmental agencies and monitoring

Track environmental conditions across jurisdictions. Document pollution events, habitat degradation, and species distribution changes with timestamped, photo-verified records. Dashboard analytics show trends and support regulatory reporting.

Archaeological field documentation

Record finds with precise GPS coordinates, photos, and configurable attributes (period, material, context). Build a spatial inventory of excavation sites, surface finds, and survey transects. Export to GIS for site analysis and publication maps.

Community citizen science

Engage volunteers in data collection at scale. Share a map link, and participants contribute observations from any smartphone. Project coordinators review submissions, curate the dataset, and publish results. No app installation required.

Často kladené otázky

Can I define custom attributes per category?
Yes. Each category (called a Service Definition in the Open311 standard) can carry its own set of attributes. For a biodiversity survey you might add species name, population estimate, and habitat type. For an infrastructure inspection the attributes could be condition rating, material type, and repair urgency. Attributes are configured in the admin panel and appear automatically in the reporting form.
How do I export collected data for analysis?
All field data is available through the Open311 API in JSON format, filterable by category, date range, and geographic area. The dashboard provides CSV export for spreadsheet and statistics workflows; its coordinate columns can be imported into QGIS, ArcGIS, and other GIS software. Every record includes GPS coordinates, timestamp, photo links, and all custom attributes.
Mohu upravit kategorie?
Ano. Kategorie můžete kdykoli přejmenovat, přidat nebo odebrat v dashboardu.
Co se děje se shromážděnými daty?
Vaše data jsou uložena na infrastruktuře v EU a patří vám. Kdykoli je můžete exportovat přes dashboard nebo Open311 API.
Mohu použít vlastní doménu?
Ano. Vlastní domény přes CNAME jsou dostupné v plánu Pro a vyšších.
