The UNESCO PERSIST project has produced a report, available from IFLA, on Guidelines for the Selection of Digital Heritage for Long-Term Preservation:

The aim of the Guidelines is to provide an overarching starting point for libraries, archives, museums and other heritage institutions when drafting their own policies on the selection of digital heritage for long-term sustainable digital preservation --

While this sounds like it's only addressing "traditional" digitization, the guidelines also include web archiving, social media, and other forms of digital selection. Written in non-technical language, it looks like a very useful resource. ...

A very good report on crowdsourced transcription tools from my friend Ben Brumfield. Although written specifically for a transcription project for the Wellcome Library (focusing on culinary and medicinal recipes, which sounds like a cool project in itself), it provides good general information about available tools, user requirements, and risk analysis for this type of project, which should be useful for similar projects under consideration by other institutions.
