Abstract: An approach is provided for providing information collection using template-based user tasks. The collection platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of partial information for insertion into one or more task templates to cause, at least in part, creation of one or more user tasks to verify, to extend, or a combination thereof the partial information according to one or more system requirements for information. Next, the collection platform causes, at least in part, a distribution of the one or more user tasks based, at least in part, on the one or more system requirements, history information relating to participation of one or more users, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for determining and using a configuration of a composite object. A method may include receiving information emitted by one or more tags in one or more objects of a composite object. The method may further include determining, based at least in part on the received information, at least a partial configuration of the composite object. The method may additionally include using the determined at least a partial configuration of the composite object as an input to alter an application state. Corresponding apparatuses are also provided.
