With more than 800 million monthly active users, Facebook bears significant potential for science projects. Climate Quiz is an interactive Web application in the tradition of "games with a purpose" that leverages this potential to create metadata through a crowdsourcing-based approach. It presents participants with two types of challenges: (1) selecting the correct relation to connect two environmental concepts, and (2) answering climate-related multiple choice questions. Climate Quiz aims to create shared meaning through collaborative ontology building, a process that captures emergent semantics and elicits formal knowledge in the form of a domain model. As an innovative survey instrument, the application leverages social networking platforms to capture indicators of environmental attitudes, lifestyles and behaviors.
