| A Proposal for a Gene Functions Wiki | Robert Hoehndorf Kay Prüfer Michael Backhaus Heinrich Herre Janet Kelso Frank Loebe Johann Visagie |
English | Large knowledge bases integrating different domains can provide a foundation for new applications in biology such as data mining or automated reasoning. The traditional approach to the construction of such knowledge bases is manual and therefore extremely time consuming. The ubiquity of the internet now makes large-scale community collaboration for the construction of knowledge bases, such as the successful online encyclopedia “Wikipedia”, possible. We propose an extension of this model to the collaborative annotation of molecular data. We argue that a semantic wiki provides the functionality required for this project since this can capitalize on the existing representations in biological ontologies. We discuss the use of a different relationship model than the one provided by RDF and OWL to represent the semantic data. We argue that this leads to a more intuitive and correct way to enter semantic content in the wiki. Furthermore, we show how formal ontologies could be used to increase the usability of the software through type-checking and automatic reasoning. | 0 | 0 | ||

| An empirical exploration of Wikipedia's credibility | Thomas Chesney | First Monday | English | Wikipedia is an free, online encyclopaedia; anyone can add content or edit existing content. The idea behind Wikipedia is that members of the general public can add their own personal knowledge, anonymously if they wish. Wikipedia then evolves over time into a comprehensive knowledge base on all things. Its popularity has never been questioned, although some have speculated about its authority. By its own admission, Wikipedia contains errors. A number of people have tested Wikipedia’s accuracy using destructive methods, i.e. deliberately inserting errors. This has been criticised by Wikipedia. This short study examines Wikipedia’s credibility by asking 258 research staff with a response rate of 21 percent, to read an article and assess its credibility, the credibility of its author and the credibility of Wikipedia as a whole. Staff were either given an article in their own expert domain or a random article. No difference was found between the two group in terms of their perceived credibility of Wikipedia or of the articles’ authors, but a difference was found in the credibility of the articles — the experts found Wikipedia’s articles to be more credible than the non–experts. This suggests that the accuracy of Wikipedia is high. However, the results should not be seen as support for Wikipedia as a totally reliable resource as, according to the experts, 13 percent of the articles contain mistakes. | 0 | 0 | |

| Concepts for Extending Wiki Systems to Supplement Collaborative Learning | Silvan Reinhold Daniel Abawi |
English | The use of new media—multimedia elements and electronic modes of interaction—is at the core of contemporary efforts to enhance the learning experience of students at universities worldwide. This paper explores the use of general-purpose Wiki systems as a means to extend didactic scenarios in eLearning environments. Wiki systems are already used successfully in classrooms, and provide students with a novel means of learning, collaborating, and participating. Based on several classroom projects currently implemented at the Goethe-University Frankfurt, we identify important issues, success factors, requirements and problems, related to the use of Wikis as part of the classroom. These shape the basis for our concept to extend the standard Wiki functionality, in order to adapt the available technology to the e-enhanced classroom. A prototypical implementation is described that was developed as a basis for the implementation of the concept, and the summary illustrates current conclusions and lessons learned. | 0 | 1 | ||
| Constrained Wiki: an Oxymoron? | Angelo Di Iorio Stefano Zacchiroli |
Wiki System Validation Assisted editing |
WikiSym | English | In this paper we propose a new wiki concept --- light constraints --- designed to encode community best practices and domain-specific requirements, and to assist in their application. While the idea of constraining user editing of wiki content seems to inherently contradict "The Wiki Way", it is well-known that communities of users involved in wiki sites have the habit of establishing best authoring practices. For domain-specific wiki systems which process wiki content, it is often useful to enforce some well-formedness conditions on specific page contents.This paper describes a general framework to think about the interaction of wiki system with constraints, and presents a generic architecture which can be easily incorporated into existing wiki systems to exploit the capabilities enabled by light constraints. | 0 | 0 |
| Corporate wiki users: results of a survey | Ann Majchrzak Christian Wagner Dave Yates |
WikiSym | English | A survey of 168 corporate wiki users was conducted. Findings indicate that corporate wikis appear to be sustainable. Users stated three main types of benefits from corporate wikis: enhanced reputation, work made easier, and helping the organization to improve its processes. These benefits were seen as more likely when the wiki was used for tasks requiring novel solutions and the information posted was from credible sources. Users acknowledged making a variety of contributions, which suggests that they could be categorized as "synthesizers" and "adders". Synthesizers" frequency of contribution was affected more by their impact on other wiki users, while adders" contribution frequency was affected more by being able to accomplish their immediate work. | 0 | 1 | |

| Cultural Differences in Collaborative Authoring of Wikipedia | Ulrike Pfeil Panayiotis Zaphiris Chee S. Ang |
Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication | English | This article explores the relationship between national culture and computer-mediated communication (CMC) in Wikipedia. The articles on the topic game from the French, German, Japanese, and Dutch Wikipedia websites were studied using content analysis methods. Correlations were investigated between patterns of contributions and the four dimensions of cultural influences proposed by Hofstede (Power Distance, Collectivism versus Individualism, Femininity versus Masculinity, and Uncertainty Avoidance). The analysis revealed cultural differences in the style of contributions across the cultures investigated, some of which are correlated with the dimensions identified by Hofstede. These findings suggest that cultural differences that are observed in the physical world also exist in the virtual world. | 0 | 2 | |

| Evaluating authoritative sources using social networks: an insight from Wikipedia | Nikolaos Th. Korfiatis Marios Poulos George Bokos |
Wikipedia Social Networks |
Online Information Review | English | Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present an approach to evaluating contributions in collaborative authoring environments and in particular wikis using social network measures.
Design / methodology / approach: A social network model for wikipedia has been constructed and metrics of importance such as centrality have been defined. Data have been gathered from articles belonging to the same topic using a web crawler in order to evaluate the outcome of the social network measures in the articles. Originality / Value: This work tries to develop a network approach to the evaluation of wiki contributions and approaches the problem of quality of wikipedia content from a social network point of view. Practical Implications: We believe that the approach presented here could be used to improve the authoritativeness of content found in Wikipedia and similar sources. |

| Exploiting Semantic Role Labeling, WordNet and Wikipedia for Coreference Resolution | Simone Paolo Ponzetto Michael Strube |
Proceedings of the main conference on Human Language Technology Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association of Computational Linguistics | English | In this paper we present an extension of a machine learning based coreference resolution system which uses features induced from different semantic knowledge sources. These features represent knowledge mined from WordNet and Wikipedia, as well as information about semantic role labels. We show that semantic features indeed improve the performance on different referring expression types such as pronouns and common nouns. | 0 | 0 | |

| Extracting Trust from Domain Analysis: A Case Study on the Wikipedia Project | Pierpaolo Dondio Stephen Barrett Stefan Weber Jean Seigneur |
Autonomic and Trusted Computing | English | The problem of identifying trustworthy information on the World Wide Web is becoming increasingly acute as new tools such as wikis and blogs simplify and democratize publications. Wikipedia is the most extraordinary example of this phenomenon and, although a few mechanisms have been put in place to improve contributions quality, trust in Wikipedia content quality has been seriously questioned. We thought that a deeper understanding of what in general defines high-standard and expertise in domains related to Wikipedia â i.e. content quality in a collaborative environment â mapped onto Wikipedia elements would lead to a complete set of mechanisms to sustain trust in Wikipedia context. Our evaluation, conducted on about 8,000 articles representing 65% of the overall Wikipedia editing activity, shows that the new trust evidence that we extracted from Wikipedia allows us to transparently and automatically compute trust values to isolate articles of great or low quality. | 0 | 2 | |

| Foucault@Wiki: first steps towards a conceptual framework for the analysis of Wiki discourses | Christian Pentzold Sebastian Seidenglanz |
Wiki Wikipedia Computer-mediated communication Online collaboration Foucault Discourse theory |
WikiSym | English | In this paper, we examine the discursive situation of Wikipedia. The primary goal is to explore principle ways of analyzing and characterizing the various forms of communicative user interaction using Foucault"s discourse theory. First, the communicative situation of Wikipedia is addressed and a list of possible forms of communication is compiled. Second, the current research on the linguistic features of Wikis, especially Wikipedia, is reviewed. Third, some key issues of Foucault"s theory are explored: the notion of "discourse", the discursive formation, and the methods of archaeology and genealogy, respectively. Finally, first steps towards a qualitative discourse analysis of the English Wikipedia are elaborated. The paper argues, that Wikipedia can be understood as a discursive formation that regulates and structures the production of statements. Most of the discursive regularities named by Foucault are established in the collaborative writing processes of Wikipedia, too. Moreover, the editing processes can be described in Foucault"s terms as discursive knowledge production. | 12 | 1 |

| Graphingwiki - a Semantic Wiki extension for visualising and inferring protocol dependency | Juhani Eronen Juha Röning |
Semantic wiki Protocol dependency Visualisation Inference |
SemWiki | English | This paper introduces the Graphingwiki extension to MoinMoin Wiki. Graphingwiki enables the deepened analysis of the Wiki data by augmenting it with semantic data in a simple, practical and easy-to-use manner. Visualisation tools are used to clarify the resulting body of knowledge so that only the data essential for an usage scenario is displayed. Logic inference rules can be applied to the data to perform automated reasoning based on the data. Perceiving dependencies among network protocols presents an example use case of the framework. The use case was applied in practice in mapping effects of software vulnerabilities on critical infrastructures. | 8 | 0 |

| How and why Wikipedia works | Angela Beesley | WikiSym | English | This talk discusses the inner workings of Wikipedia. Angela will address the roles, processes, and sociology that make up the project, with information on what happens behind the scenes and how the community builds and defends its encyclopedia on a daily basis. The talk will give some insight into why Wikipedia has worked so far and why we believe it will keep working in the the future despite the many criticisms that can be made of it. It is hoped that this review inspires further Wikipedia research. For this, please also see our Wikipedia Research workshop on Wednesday, which is open to walk-ins. | 0 | 0 | |

| KawaWiki: A Semantic Wiki Based on RDF Templates | K. Kawamoto Y. Kitamura Y. Tijerino |
Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology Workshops | English | A semantic Wiki is a collaborative semantic Web authoring system based on the Wiki framework. It provides a scheme where anonymous users on the Internet can collaborate with each other to build a semantic Web site. Contrasting to traditional Wikis, it is not easy for end users to author semantic Wiki pages from scratch without knowledge of the complex RDF/OWL syntax and of ontologies to share semantic information. We propose a new semantic Wiki system called "KawaWiki" on which end and expert users can collaborate to build a semantic Web site. KawaWiki generates RDF and Wiki pages based on its RDF templates and validates their consistency with the RDFS description. The RDFS description can be created by importing Web ontologies on the Internet. KawaWiki aims at providing a scheme where end users, expert users and ontologists seamlessly collaborate to publish semantically consistent RDF and Wiki pages in a Wiki way | 0 | 0 | |
| L'édition de référence libre et collaborative : le cas de Wikipédia | Laure Endrizzi | Wikipedia Encyclopedia Wiki Édition numérique Travail collaboratif Savoirs Communauté d'apprentissage |
Les dossiers de la veille | French | L'année 2005 a été particulièrement riche en débats et controverses sur l'encyclopédie libre Wikipedia. Alors que l'attention des médias grands publics et les réactions des traditionnels médiateurs du savoir restent le plus souvent mobilisées par des affaires de vandalisme et plus généralement par des problèmes de fiabilité et de qualité, les usages ne cessent de se développer. Le nombre total d'articles sur l'ensemble des versions est passé de 1 million 400.000 à 3 millions 400.000 en l'espace d'un an. Cette croissance exponentielle des contenus s'accompagne d'une augmentation forte de la fréquentation, plaçant l'encyclopédie parmi les 25 sites les plus visités au monde selon le baromètre Alexa avec un trafic très largement supérieur à celui d'autres sites de référence tels que Britannica par exemple. Parallèlement, si les recherches sur les blogs et les logiciels sociaux bénéficient d'un certain attrait, la communauté scientifique ne s'intéresse encore guère aux wikis et très marginalement à Wikipedia. Les premières éditions des conférences Wikimania (août 2005) et Wikisym (octobre 2005) laissent à penser que les jalons sont posés pour analyser les enjeux et le fonctionnement de ce phénomène éditorial sans précédent. Par ailleurs, la mutualisation s'opère aussi au sein même du Wikimedia Research Network, association qui regroupe les chercheurs travaillant sur Wikipedia ou bien d'autres projets de la fondation Wikimedia (cf. bibliographie du WRN). Nous nous attacherons dans cette synthèse à mettre en perspective les premières recherches sur Wikipedia avec les principales prises de position relayées par les médias traditionnels et l'internet. Le lecteur ne s'étonnera pas de voir se côtoyer des travaux de chercheurs - quelquefois jeunes et méconnus - avec quelques articles de la presse généraliste ou spécialisée mais aussi avec des réactions et analyses d'acteurs de l'édition de référence (producteurs et prescripteurs). Ces dernières références seront matérialisées dans le texte par des crochets et un astérisque : [Auteur, année]* ; elles renverront à la partie « débats et réflexions » de la bibliographie. (Ce travail a été réalisé dans le cadre d'un partenariat entre l'INRP et l'équipe LIRE de l'université Lyon 2 pour le projet de recherche ENCYCLEN - encyclopédies en ligne -, retenu par l'ACI Education et Formation en 2004). | 0 | 0 |

| Motivations of contributors to Wikipedia | Stacey Kuznetsov | Wikipedia Motivation Value sensitive design |
SIGCAS | English | This paper aims to explain why people are motivated to contribute to the Wikipedia project. A comprehensive analysis of the motivations of Wikipedians is conducted using the iterative methodology developed by Batya Friedman and Peter Kahn in Value Sensitive Design and Information Systems and co-developed by Nissenbaum and Friedman in Bias in Computer Systems. The Value Sensitive Design (VSD) approach consists of three stages: Empirical Investigation, Conceptual Investigation, and Technical Investigation. During the empirical phase, motivations of the contributors to Wikipedia are identified through analysis of data from two published surveys and a pilot survey conducted at New York University. The underlying values behind these motivations are then defined in the conceptual phase of the study. Finally, a technical investigation is conducted in order to determine how features of the Wiki technology support and facilitate these values. | 0 | 2 |

| Preferential attachment in the growth of social networks: The internet encyclopedia Wikipedia | A. Capocci V. D. P. Servedio F. Colaiori L. S. Buriol D. Donato S. Leonardi G. Caldarelli |
Physical Review E | English | We present an analysis of the statistical properties and growth of the free on-line encyclopedia Wikipedia. By describing topics by vertices and hyperlinks between them as edges, we can represent this encyclopedia as a directed graph. The topological properties of this graph are in close analogy with those of the World Wide Web, despite the very different growth mechanism. In particular, we measure a scale-invariant distribution of the in and out degree and we are able to reproduce these features by means of a simple statistical model. As a major consequence, Wikipedia growth can be described by local rules such as the preferential attachment mechanism, though users, who are responsible of its evolution, can act globally on the network. | 0 | 2 | |

| Researching Wikipedia ‐ Current approaches and new directions | Phoebe Ayers | Proceedings of the American Society for Information Science and Technology | English | Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org), an international, multi-lingual and collaboratively produced free online encyclopedia, has experienced massive growth since its inception in 2001. The site has become the world’s single largest encyclopedia as well as one of the world's most diverse online communities. Because of these factors, the site provides a unique view into the processes of collaborative work and the factors that go into producing encyclopedic content. To date, there has been no unified review of the current research that is taking place on and about Wikipedia, and indeed there have been few formal studies of the site, despite its growing importance. This project is a review of social science and information science studies of the site, focusing on research methods and categorizing the areas of the site that have been studied so far. Studies of Wikipedia have focused primarily on the social dynamics of contributors (such as how disputes are resolved and why contributors participate), and the content of Wikipedia (such as whether it is an accurate source), but due to the unique collaborative processes on Wikipedia these two areas are deeply intertwined. | 17 | 0 | |

| Semantic MediaWiki (ISWC 2006) | Markus Krötzsch Denny Vrandečić Max Völkel |
ISWC | English | Semantic MediaWiki is an extension of MediaWiki – a widely used wiki-engine that also powers Wikipedia. Its aim is to make semantic technologies available to a broad community by smoothly integrating them with the established usage of MediaWiki. The software is already used on a number of productive installations world-wide, but the main target remains to establish “Semantic Wikipedia” as an early adopter of semantic technologies on the web. Thus usability and scalability are as important as powerful semantic features. | 0 | 0 | |

| Tracking the Lexical Zeitgeist with WordNet and Wikipedia | Tony Veale | European Conference on Artificial Intelligence | English | Most new words, or neologisms, bubble beneath the surface of widespread usage for some time, perhaps even years, before gaining acceptance in conventional print dictionaries. A shorter, yet still significant, delay is also evident in the life-cycle of NLP-oriented lexical resources like WordNet. A more topical lexical resource is Wikipedia, an open-source community-maintained encyclopedia whose headwords reflect the many new words that gain recognition in a particular linguistic sub-culture. In this paper we describe the principles behind Zeitgeist, a system for dynamic lexicon growth that harvests and semantically analyses new lexical forms from Wikipedia, to automatically enrich WordNet as these new word forms are minted. Zeitgeist demonstrates good results for composite words that exhibit a complex morphemic structure, such as portmanteau words and formal blends. | 0 | 0 | |
| Translation the Wiki Way | Alain Désilets Lucas Gonzalez Sébastien Paquet Marta Stojanovic |
WikiSym | English | This paper discusses the design and implementation of processes and tools to support the collaborative creation and maintenance of multilingual wiki content. A wiki is a website where a large number of participants are allowed to create and modify content using their Web browser. This simple concept has revolutionized collaborative authoring on the web, enabling among others, the creation of Wikipedia, the world's largest online encyclopedia. On many of the largest and highest profile wiki sites, content needs to be provided in more than one language. Yet, current wiki engines do not support the efficient creation and maintenance of such content. Consequently, most wiki sites deal with the issue of multilingualism by spawning a separate and independent site for each language. This approach leads to much wasted effort since the same content must be researched, tracked and written from scratch for every language. In this paper, we investigate what features could be implemented in wiki engines in order to deal more effectively with multilingual content. We look at how multilingual content is currently managed in more traditional industrial contexts, and show how this approach is not appropriate in a wiki world. We then describe the results of a User-Centered Design exercise performed to explore what a multilingual wiki engine should look like from the point of view of its various end users. We describe a partial implementation of those requirements in our own wiki engine (LizzyWiki), to deal with the special case of bilingual sites. We also discuss how this simple implementation could be extended to provide even more sophisticated features, and in particular, to support the general case of a site with more than two languages. Finally, even though the paper focuses primarily on multilingual content in a wiki context, we argue that translating in this "Wiki Way", may also be useful in some traditional industrial settings, as a way of dealing better with the fast and ever-changing nature of our modern internet world. | 0 | 2 | |

However, perceiving the complex relationships in the network of articles and other entities in Wikipedia is far from easy. We introduce the notion of using co-authorship of articles to determine relationship between articles, and present the WikiVis information visualization system which visualizes this and other types of relationships in the Wikipedia database in 3D graph form. A 3D star layout and a 3D nested cone tree layout are presented for displaying relationships between entities and between categories, respectively. A novel 3D pinboard layout is presented for displaying search results | 1 | 1 | |
