A Cultural and Political Economy of Web 2.0	Robert W. Gehl			English	In this dissertation, I explore Web 2.0, an umbrella term for Web-based software and services such as blogs, wikis, social networking, and media sharing sites. This range of Web sites is complex, but is tied together by one key feature: the users of these sites and services are expected to produce the content included in them. That is, users write and comment upon blogs, produce the material in wikis, make connections with one another in social networks, and produce videos in media sharing sites. This has two implications. First, the increase of user-led media production has led to proclamations that mass media, hierarchy, and authority are dead, and that we are entering into a time of democratic media production. Second, this mode of media production relies on users to supply what was traditionally paid labor. To illuminate this, I explore the popular media discourses which have defined Web 2.0 as a progressive, democratic development in media production. I consider the pleasures that users derive from these sites. I then examine the technical structure of Web 2.0. Despite the arguments that present Web 2.0 as a mass appropriation of the means of media production, I have found that Web 2.0 site owners have been able to exploit users' desires to create content and control media production. Site owners do this by deploying a dichotomous structure. In a typical Web 2.0 site, there is a surface, where users are free to produce content and make affective connections, and there is a hidden depth, where new media capitalists convert user-generated content into exchange-values. Web 2.0 sites seek to hide exploitation of free user labor by limiting access to this depth. This dichotomous structure is made clearer if it is compared to the one Web 2.0 site where users have largely taken control of the products of their labor: Wikipedia. Unlike many other sites, Wikipedia allows users to see into and determine the legal, technical, and cultural depths of that site. I conclude by pointing to the different cultural formations made possible by eliminating the barrier between surface and depth in Web software architecture.	13	0

A Semantic Approach for Question Classification using WordNet and Wikipedia	Santosh K. Ray Shailendra Singh B. P. Joshi		Pattern Recognition Letters	English	Question Answering Systems, unlike search engines, are providing answers to the users’ questions in succinct form which requires the prior knowledge of the expectation of the user. Question classification module of a Question Answering System plays a very important role in determining the expectations of the user. In the literature, incorrect question classification has been cited as one of the major factors for the poor performance of the Question Answering Systems and this emphasizes on the importance of question classification module designing. In this article, we have proposed a question classification method that exploits the powerful semantic features of the WordNet and the vast knowledge repository of the Wikipedia to describe informative terms explicitly. We have trained our system over a standard set of 5500 questions (by UIUC) and then tested it over five TREC question collections. We have compared our results with some standard results reported in the literature and observed a significant improvement in the accuracy of question classification. The question classification accuracy suggests the effectiveness of the method which is promising in the field of open domain question classification. Judging the correctness of the answer is an important issue in the field of question answering. In this article, we are extending question classification as one of the heuristics for answer validation. We are proposing a World Wide Web based solution for answer validation where answers returned by open domain Question Answering Systems can be validated using online resources such as Wikipedia and Google. We have applied several heuristics for answer validation task and tested them against some popular web based open domain Question Answering Systems over a collection of 500 questions collected from standard sources such as TREC, the Worldbook, and the Worldfactbook. The proposed method seems to be promising for automatic answer validation task.	0	0

A Statistical Approach to the Impact of Featured Articles in Wikipedia	Antonio J. Reinoso Felipe Ortega Jesús M. González-Barahona Israel Herraiz	Wikipedia Usage patterns Traffic characterization Quantitative analysis	KEOD	English	This paper presents an empirical study on the impact of featured articles on the attention that Wikipedia’s articles attract, and how this behavior differs in different editions of Wikipedia. The study is based on the analysis of the log lines registered by the Wikimedia Foundation Squid servers after having sent the appropriate content in response to the corresponding request submitted by any Wikipedia user. The analysis has been conducted regarding the six most visited editions of the Wikipedia and has involved more than 4,100 million log lines corresponding to the traffic of September, October and November 2009. The methodology of work has mainly consisted on the parsing of the requests sent by the users and on their subsequent filtering according to the study directives. Relevant information fields has been finally stored in a database for persistence and further characterization. The main results of this paper are twofold: it shows how to use the the traffic log to extract information about the use of Wikipedia, which is a novel research approach without precedences in the research community, and it analyzes whether the featured articles mechanism achieve to attract more attention or not.	6	0

A Wikipedia Matching Approach to Contextual Advertising	Alexander Pak Chin-Wan Chung		World Wide Web	English	Abstract  Contextual advertising is an important part of today’s Web. It provides benefits to all parties: Web site owners and an advertising platform share the revenue, advertisers receive new customers, and Web site visitors get useful reference links. The relevance of selected ads for a Web page is essential for the whole system to work. Problems such as homonymy and polysemy, low intersection of keywords and context mismatch can lead to the selection of irrelevant ads. Therefore, a simple keyword matching technique gives a poor accuracy. In this paper, we propose a method for improving the relevance of contextual ads. We propose a novel “Wikipedia matching” technique that uses Wikipedia articles as “reference points” for ads selection. We show how to combine our new method with existing solutions in order to increase the overall performance. An experimental evaluation based on a set of real ads and a set of pages from news Web sites is conducted. Test results show that our proposed method performs better than existing matching strategies and using the Wikipedia matching in combination with existing approaches provides up to 50% lift in the average precision. TREC standard measure bpref-10 also confirms the positive effect of using Wikipedia matching for the effective ads selection.	0	0

A comparative analysis of the usage and infusion of wiki and non-wiki-based knowledge management systems	Andrea Hester			English	Antecedents of adoption and diffusion in time-honored models such as the technology acceptance model and innovation diffusion theory may not provide sufficient measures for newer Web 2.0 technologies such as wikis. This research examines two potential extensions to the basic tenets of user acceptance: reciprocity expectation and personal innovativeness in information technology (IT). The research also examines an advancing technology: wiki technology-based knowledge management systems. Based on the results of an online survey, partial least squares analysis is used to evaluate the proposed model and provide comparative results for traditional knowledge management systems and wikis. Of the 170 respondents, 46 indicated wiki-based systems as their primary knowledge management system, while 124 indicated non-wiki-based systems as the primary system. The results indicate the set of factors influencing usage are different than the factors influencing infusion. Further, non-wiki-based versus newer wiki-based knowledge management systems have different sets of factors affecting usage and infusion. Both extensions to the base model have a greater impact on wiki-based systems as opposed to non-wiki-based systems. Reciprocity expectation was found to have a contradictory significant negative influence on infusion of wikis. Additionally, personal innovativeness in IT moderates the usage and infusion of wikis more so than for traditional knowledge management systems. These results support a more robust model for analyzing the utilization of such technologies.	0	0

A fielded wiki for personality genetics	Finn Årup Nielsen	Wiki Neuroinformatics Genetics Bioinformatics Meta-analysis	WikiSym	English	(poster summary): A fielded wiki (a highly structured wiki) for genetic association studies with personality traits is described that features easy entry, on-the-fly meta-analysis of effect sizes and forest and funnel plotting with export of data in different formats. (paper abstract): I describe a fielded wiki, where a Web form interface allows the entry, analysis and visualization of results from scientific papers in the personality genetics domain. Papers in this domain typically report the mean and standard deviation of multiple personality trait scores from statistics on human subjects grouped based on genotype. The wiki organizes the basic data in a single table with fixed columns, each row recording statistical values with respect to a specific personality trait reported in a specific paper with a specific genotype group. From this basic data hard-coded meta-analysis can compute individual and combined effect sizes. The meta-analytic results are displayed in on-the-fly computed hyperlinked graphs and tables. Revision control on the basic data tracks changes and data may be exported to comma-separated files or in a MediaWiki template format.	7	1

A hypersocial-interactive model of Wiki-mediated writing: Collaborative writing in a fan & gamer community	Rik Hunter			English	In this dissertation I argue that writing is a technologically- and socially-inflected activity, and the particular patterns of collaborative writing found on the World of Warcraft Wiki (WoWWiki) are the result of the interactions between a MediaWiki's affordances and the social practices operating in this context. In other contexts, collaborative writing can more closely resemble the "conventional ethos" (Knobel and Lankshear, 2007) of more individualistic notions of authorship often tied to print. With writing projects such as WoWWiki, we can observe a dramatic shift in notions of textual ownership and production towards the communal and collaborative, and I suggest the patterns of collaboration found on WoWWki are evidence of a larger technocultural shift signaling new conditions for literacy. In the midst of this shift, the meaning of "collaboration," "authorship," and "audience" is redefined. Following my introductory chapter, I use textual analysis of talk pages to examine the talk pages of several of WoWWiki featured articles for particular patterns of language use and identify what WoWWikians focus their attention on in the process of writing articles. I argue that collaboration on WoWWiki poses a challenge to models of face to face writing groups and offers unique patterns of collaboration. I then contend that WoWWiki's writing practices are entering a society where the idea of the single author has been strong. Nevertheless, I find evidence of a shared model of text production and collaborative notion of authorship; further, collaboration is disrupted by those who hold author-centric perspectives. Next, I argue that our previous models of audience and writing previously developed around print and, later, hypertext are inadequate because they cannot account for roles readers can take and how writers and readers interact on a wiki. With this new arrangement in collaborative writing evident on WoWWiki, I develop the hypersocial-interactive model of wiki-mediated writing. I conclude by reviewing this dissertation's main arguments regarding wiki-mediated collaborative writing, after which I explore the implications of using wikis for writing instruction. Finally, I discuss the limitations of this study and consider directions for future research on voluntary collaborative wiki-mediated writing.	22	0

Adhocratic Governance in the Internet Age: A Case of Wikipedia	Piotr Konieczny	Adhocracy Governance Wikipedia		English	In recent years, a new realm has appeared for the study of political and sociological phenomena: the Internet. This article will analyze the decision-making processes of one of the largest online communities, Wikipedia. Founded in 2001, Wikipedianow among the top-10 most popular sites on the Internethas succeeded in attracting and organizing millions of volunteers and creating the world's largest encyclopedia. To date, however, little study has been done of Wikipedia's governance. There is substantial confusion about its decision-making structure. The organization's governance has been compared to many decision-making and political systemsfrom democracy to dictatorship, from bureaucracy to anarchy. It is the purpose of this article to go beyond the earlier simplistic descriptions of Wikipedia's governance in order to advance the study of online governance, and of organizations more generally. As the evidence will show, while Wikipedia's governance shows elements common to many traditional governance models, it appears to be closest to the organizational structure known as adhocracy.	0	1

An empirical analysis on how learners interact in wiki in a graduate level online course	Wen-Hao D. Huang Kazuaki Nakazawa			English	As Web 2.0 emerging technologies are gaining momentum in higher education, educators as well as students are finding new ways to integrate them for teaching and learning. Technologies such as blogs, wikis and multimedia-sharing utilities have been used to teach various subject matters. This trend not only creates new opportunities for us to afford collaborative learning processes but also generates research inquiries that demand that we empirically examine those technologies' pedagogical impact against existing theoretical frameworks. By doing so, we are able to validate Web 2.0 technologies' systematic integration into instructional settings while innovating the learning process for new generations of learners. Therefore, this exploratory mixed-method case study, situated in a 10-week online graduate level course, investigated the perceived interaction levels between learnerlearner and learnerinstructor in using PBwiki for weekly reading assignments. Based on quantitative responses from 16 participants, learners perceived a significantly higher level of instructional interaction with their peers than they did with the instructor. Their qualitative responses further identified their weekly activity patterns in accomplishing the Wiki assignments and provided rationales for their interaction level perceptions. This case study concluded that educators should remove all communication modalities external to the Wiki environments to provide authentic Wiki-collaboration experiences for learners.	0	0

Análisis de la incorporación de una plataforma wiki a la docencia de la asignatura "nuevas tecnologías de la información"	Antonio José Reinoso Peinado	Wiki Wiki engine MediaWiki Wiki platforms E-learning Information Technologies IT	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	This paper describes the study carried out in order to analyze and evaluate the use of a wiki-based platform as a supporting element in the student learning process. The Wiki platform is also analyzed as a tool providing services in teaching of subjects related to New Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Moreover, this work focuses on the necessary metrics to be obtained in order to establish use and behavioural patterns which allow to characterize the user-platform relationships and may lead to describe possible students’ attitudes when facing tasks demanding cooperative and collaborative efforts. Este documento describe el estudio realizado con el fin de analizar y evaluar el uso de una plataforma basada en el paradigma “Wiki” como elemento de apoyo en el proceso de aprendizaje de los alumnos y como herramienta de utilidad en la docencia de una materia relacionada con las Nuevas Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicaciones (TIC). Además, este trabajo trata de obtener las métricas necesarias para establecer patrones de uso y comportamiento que permitan caracterizar la interacción con la plataforma y puedan ayudar a describir la actitud de los alumnos a la hora de enfrentarse a la realización de tareas cooperativas que exijan coordinación y organización de esfuerzos.	6	0

Arquitectura en territorios informados y transparentes. Una wiki en la escuela de arquitectura	Javier Fernández García	Architecture Territory Immersion Wiki Teaching	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	The framework of our research is based on the spaces information, formation and cohabitation configured by the citizens of the online territory. Web 2.0 has granted us new tools to build spaces with. Since the establishment in August 2006 of the platform CityWiki, we conduct an investigation on the architectures of these places that shape a common space without hierarchy or police. Action, thus, occurs strictly from the freedom of responsible inhabitants. [As defined by M.Castells (2004)] this cohabitation may only exist in a multiple place, where the unlikeness of dwellers gets "unified by the common believe of the value of the fact of sharing". Moreover, in this laboratory, we encourage a new research and teaching activity with an attitude 2.0 inspired in these basic principles of World Wide Web. In the first part of this article, the empirically evolving theoretical background which focuses the today of our research is exposed. The main objective of this part is to prove wiki territories to be informed and transparent, able to augment and never substitute our reality with new layers of information. In the second part, our innovative teaching experience during 2007/08 is described and scrutinized in the terms described. El marco general de nuestra investigación en la universidad son los espacios de convivencia, información y formación que configuran los habitantes en un territorio online. La Web 2.0 nos ha dotado de nuevas herramientas con la que construir espacios. Desde la fundación en agosto de 2006 de CityWiki, indagamos en la arquitectura de estos lugares que se articulan en un espacio común en el que, a falta de jerarquía y policía, la acción en él la define el empoderamiento y la libertad del ciudadano responsable. A modo de laboratorio, desde entonces, embarcamos la actividad investigadora y docente en la actitud 2.0 incluida en la WWW. En la primera parte de este artículo se expone el pensamiento actualizado que empíricamente evoluciona emparejado a la actualidad de nuestras investigaciones. El objetivo es hacer entender el territorio wiki como informado y transparente llamado a añadir capas de información a la realidad para de esta forma no sustituirla sino ampliarla. Seguidamente, en la segunda parte, se describe y analiza la experiencia de innovación llevada a cabo durante el curso 2007/2008 en la que se ensayó un modelo docente instrumentados en los modos y paisajes previamente descritos.	2	0
As relações de poder entre editores da Wikipédia	Paulo Henrique Souto Maior Serrano	French semiotics Wikipedia Conflict Talk page	IX Encontro do Círculo de Estudos Linguísticos do Sul	Portuguese	The collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia is guided by several policies, recommendations and standards, developed by its community of users from five basic principles: 1) encyclopedist, 2) the neutral point of view, 3) free license, 4) how to conduct encrypted, 5) freedom in the rules (Wikipedia: 2009b). This article analyses through the greimasian´s and tensive semiotics the application of the five principles in the discussion of conflicting entries.	0	0

Automated Query Learning with Wikipedia and Genetic Programming	Pekka Malo Pyry Siitari Ankur Sinha			English	Most of the existing information retrieval systems are based on bag of words model and are not equipped with common world knowledge. Work has been done towards improving the efficiency of such systems by using intelligent algorithms to generate search queries, however, not much research has been done in the direction of incorporating human-and-society level knowledge in the queries. This paper is one of the first attempts where such information is incorporated into the search queries using Wikipedia semantics. The paper presents an essential shift from conventional token based queries to concept based queries, leading to an enhanced efficiency of information retrieval systems. To efficiently handle the automated query learning problem, we propose Wikipedia-based Evolutionary Semantics (Wiki-ES) framework where concept based queries are learnt using a co-evolving evolutionary procedure. Learning concept based queries using an intelligent evolutionary procedure yields significant improvement in performance which is shown through an extensive study using Reuters newswire documents. Comparison of the proposed framework is performed with other information retrieval systems. Concept based approach has also been implemented on other information retrieval systems to justify the effectiveness of a transition from token based queries to concept based queries.	0	1

Beyond Wikipedia: Coordination and Conflict in Online Production Groups	Aniket Kittur Robert E. Kraut	Wiki Wikipedia Coordination Conflict Social computing Collective intelligence Distributed cognition Collaboration Online production	Computer-Supported Cooperative Work	English	Online production groups have the potential to transform the way that knowledge is produced and disseminated. One of the most widely used forms of online production is the wiki, which has been used in domains ranging from science to education to enterprise. We examined the development of and interactions between coordination and conflict in a sample of 6811 wiki production groups. We investigated the influence of four coordination mechanisms: intra-article communication, inter-user communication, concentration of workgroup structure, and policy and procedures. We also examined the growth of conflict, finding the density of users in an information space to be a significant predictor. Finally, we analyzed the effectiveness of the four coordination mechanisms on managing conflict, finding differences in how each scaled to large numbers of contributors. Our results suggest that coordination mechanisms effective for managing conflict are not always the same as those effective for managing task quality, and that designers must take into account the social benefits of coordination mechanisms in addition to their production benefits.	0	2
Beyond Wikipedia: how good a reference source are medical wikis?	Paula Younger			English	The purpose of this paper is to examine the case for using subject (medical) wikis as a reference tool. The paper summarises content of ganfyd and WikiMD, comparing their ethos and approach to information. It describes some other medical and health wikis in brief. As their audience is somewhat more specialised, medical wikis, currently in their infancy, cover topics in more depth than Wikipedia but coverage remains patchy. They may be of particular use for those without access to expensive resources such as UpToDate requiring a short literature review or overview of a topic. Wikis at present are best used as a signpost to other resources with tighter editorial control. The assessment of the subject wikis is brief and the analysis of wikis as a reference tool is largely drawn from general literature, not medical. This assessment provides exposure of subject wikis as a potential reference tool. The paper highlights the existence of subject wikis as a potential more in-depth tool than Wikipedia.	0	0
Beyond vandalism: Wikipedia trolls	Pnina Shachaf Noriko Hara			English	Research on trolls is scarce, but their activities challenge online communities; one of the main challenges of the Wikipedia community is to fight against vandalism and trolls. This study identifies Wikipedia trolls’ behaviours and motivations, and compares and contrasts hackers with trolls; it extends our knowledge about this type of vandalism and concludes that Wikipedia trolls are one type of hacker. This study reports that boredom, attention seeking, and revenge motivate trolls; they regard Wikipedia as an entertainment venue, and find pleasure from causing damage to the community and other people. Findings also suggest that trolls’ behaviours are characterized as repetitive, intentional, and harmful actions that are undertaken in isolation and under hidden virtual identities, involving violations of Wikipedia policies, and consisting of destructive participation in the community.	0	0

Building a Collaborative Peer-to-Peer Wiki System on a Structured Overlay	Gérald Oster Rubén Mondéjar Pascal Molli Sergiu Dumitriu		Computer Networks	English	The ever growing request for digital information raises the need for content distribution architectures providing high storage capacity, data availability and good performance. While many simple solutions for scalable distribution of quasi-static content exist, there are still no approaches that can ensure both scalability and consistency for the case of highly dynamic content, such as the data managed inside wikis. We propose a peer-to-peer solution for distributing and managing dynamic content, that combines two widely studied technologies: Distributed HashTables (DHT) and optimistic replication. In our “universal wiki” engine architecture (UniWiki), on top of a reliable, inexpensive and consistent DHT-based storage, any number of front-ends can be added, ensuring both read and write scalability, as well as suitability for large-scale scenarios. The implementation is based on Damon, a distributed AOP middleware, thus separating distribution, replication, and consistency responsibilities, and also making our system transparently usable by third party wiki engines. Finally, UniWiki has been proved viable and fairly efficient in large-scale scenarios.	0	0

Chatting in the Wiki: synchronous-asynchronous integration	Robert P. Biuk-Aghai Keng Hong Lei	Asynchronous Communication Instant messaging Synchronous Wiki	WikiSym	English	Wikis have become popular platforms for collaborative writing. The traditional production mode has been remote asynchronous and supported by wiki systems geared toward both asynchronous writing and asynchronous communication. However, many people have come to rely on synchronous communication in their daily work. This paper first discusses aspects of synchronous and asynchronous activity and communication and then proposes an integration of synchronous communication facilities in wikis. A prototype system developed by the authors is briefly presented.	0	0

Coisas velhas em coisas novas: novas “velhas tecnologias”	Pedro Demo	Generative internet Hacker spirit Libertarianism New technologies Abuse of freedom Innovation Continuities	Ciência da Informação	Portuguese	The objective of this article is to present an up-to-date discussion about the extraordinary technological innovations, mainly the new technologies underlining both breaches and continuities. Technologies are supposed to present a sense of convergence as well as continuities. Hackers and others who propose free software are in favor of liberty and liberation, considering computer and internet as arenas of freedom. This is only partly correct, because these hackers who consider themselves as libertarians submit themselves to narrow-minded structures of power (for example, autocratic bosses). Internet is state-wide instead of being worldwide. France has imposed changes in the contents of sites. China does not allow a free flow of information. That aura of beginning liberty, granted as a structure of the computer for being customized and formatted is strongly contested by illegal and immoral flow, by introduction of spasm and marketing, as well as by virus contamination. The so called "generative internet" is loosing ground on account of the pressure of users who want guaranteed end-products, easier to be handled, for avoiding abuse of freedom. The case of Wikipédia is remarkable. Continuous wars of publishing unsettle the environment (although this does not hinder the production of a large and original encyclopedia).	13	0

CorpWiki: A self-regulating wiki to promote corporate collective intelligence through expert peer matching	Ioanna Lykourentzou Katerina Papadaki Dimitrios J. Vergados Despina Polemi Vassili Loumos			English	One of the main challenges that organizations face nowadays, is the efficient use of individual employee intelligence, through machine-facilitated understanding of the collected corporate knowledge, to develop their collective intelligence. Web 2.0 technologies, like wikis, can be used to address the above issue. Nevertheless, their application in corporate environments is limited, mainly due to their inability to ensure knowledge creation and assessment in a timely and reliable manner. In this study we propose CorpWiki, a self-regulating wiki system for effective acquisition of high-quality knowledge content. Inserted articles undergo a quality assessment control by a large number of corporate peer employees. In case the quality is inadequate, CorpWiki uses a novel expert peer matching algorithm (EPM), based on feed-forward neural networks, that searches the human network of the organization to select the most appropriate peer employee who will improve the quality of the article. Performance evaluation results, obtained through simulation modeling, indicate that CorpWiki improves the final quality levels of the inserted articles as well as the time and effort required to reach them. The proposed system, combining machine-learning intelligence with the individual intelligence of peer employees, aims to create new inferences regarding corporate issues, thus promoting the collective organizational intelligence.	0	0
Crew: cross-modal resource searching by exploiting Wikipedia	Chen Liu Beng C. Ooi Anthony K. H. Tung Dongxiang Zhang			English	In Web 2.0, users have generated and shared massive amounts of resources in various media formats, such as news, blogs, audios, photos and videos. The abundance and diversity of the resources call for better integration to improve the accessibility. A straightforward approach is to link the resources via tags so that resources from different modals sharing the same tag can be connected as a graph structure. This naturally motivates a new kind of information retrieval system, named cross-modal resource search, in which given a query object from any modal, all the related resources from other modals can be retrieved in a convenient manner. However, due to the tag homonym and synonym, such an approach returns results of low quality because resources with the same tag but not semantically related will be directly connected as well. In this paper, we propose to build the resource graph and perform query processing by exploiting Wikipedia. We construct a concept middle-ware between the layer of tags and resources to fully capture the semantic meaning of the resources. Such a cross-modal search system based on Wikipedia, named Crew, is built and demonstrates promising search results.	0	0

Crowdsourcing a Wikipedia Vandalism Corpus	Martin Potthast	Wikipedia Vandalism detection Evaluation Corpus	SIGIR	English	We report on the construction of the PAN Wikipedia vandalism corpus, PAN-WVC-10, using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. The corpus compiles 32 452 edits on 28 468 Wikipedia articles, among which 2 391 vandalism edits have been identified. 753 human annotators cast a total of 193 022 votes on the edits, so that each edit was reviewed by at least 3 annotators, whereas the achieved level of agreement was analyzed in order to label an edit as “regular” or “vandalism.” The corpus is available free of charge.	6	1
Crowdsourcing and Open Access: Collaborative Techniques for Disseminating Legal Materials and Scholarship	Timothy K. Armstrong	Open Access Peer Production Crowdsourcing Online Communities Distributed Proofreaders Wikipedia Wikisource	Santa Clara Computer and High Technology Law Journal	English	This short essay surveys the state of open access to primary legal source materials (statutes, judicial opinions and the like) and legal scholarship. The ongoing digitization phenomenon (illustrated, although by no means typified, by massive scanning endeavors such as the Google Books project and the Library of Congress's efforts to digitize United States historical documents) has made a wealth of information, including legal information, freely available online, and a number of open-access collections of legal source materials have been created. Many of these collections, however, suffer from similar flaws: they devote too much effort to collecting case law rather than other authorities, they overemphasize recent works (especially those originally created in digital form), they do not adequately hyperlink between related documents in the collection, their citator functions are haphazard and rudimentary, and they do not enable easy user authentication against official reference sources. The essay explores whether some of these problems might be alleviated by enlarging the pool of contributors who are working to bring paper records into the digital era. The same "peer production" process that has allowed far-flung communities of volunteers to build large-scale informational goods like the Wikipedia encyclopedia or the Linux operating system might be harnessed to build a digital library. The essay critically reviews two projects that have sought to "crowdsource" proofreading and archiving of texts: Distributed Proofreaders, a project frequently held up as a model in the academic literature on peer production; and Wikisource, a sister site of Wikipedia that improves on Distributed Proofreaders in a number of ways. The essay concludes by offering a few illustrations meant to show the potential for using Wikisource as an open-access repository for primary source materials and scholarship, and considers some possible drawbacks of the crowdsourced approach.	4	1

Design and implementation of a VoiceXML-driven wiki application for assistive environments on the web	Constantinos Kolias Vassilis Kolias Ioannis Anagnostopoulos Georgios Kambourakis Eleftherios Kayafas			English	Abstract  In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of an audio wiki application accessible via both the Public Switched Telephone Network and the Internet. The application exploits mature World Wide Web Consortium standards, such as VoiceXML, Speech Synthesis Markup Language, and Speech Recognition Grammar Specification toward achieving our goals. The purpose of such an application is to assist visually impaired, technologically uneducated, and underprivileged people in accessing information originally intended to be accessed visually via a personal computer (PC). Users may access wiki content via fixed or mobile phones, or via a PC using a Web Browser or a Voice over IP service. This feature promotes pervasiveness to collaboratively created content to an extremely large population, i.e., those who simply own a telephone line.	0	0

Detecting Wikipedia Vandalism via Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Revision Metadata	Andrew G. West Sampath Kannan Insup Lee	Wikipedia Spatio-temporal reputation Vandalism Collaboration software Content-based access control	EUROSEC	English	Blatantly unproductive edits undermine the quality of the collaboratively-edited encyclopedia, Wikipedia. They not only disseminate dishonest and offensive content, but force editors to waste time undoing such acts of vandalism. Language-processing has been applied to combat these malicious edits, but as with email spam, these filters are evadable and computationally complex. Meanwhile, recent research has shown spatial and temporal features effective in mitigating email spam, while being lightweight and robust. In this paper, we leverage the spatio-temporal properties of revision metadata to detect vandalism on Wikipedia. An administrative form of reversion called rollback enables the tagging of malicious edits, which are contrasted with nonoffending edits in numerous dimensions. Crucially, none of these features require inspection of the article or revision text. Ultimately, a classifier is produced which flags vandalism at performance comparable to the natural-language efforts we intend to complement (85% accuracy at 50% recall). The classifier is scalable (processing 100+ edits a second) and has been used to locate over 5,000 manually-confirmed incidents of vandalism outside our labeled set.	9	3
Detecting Wikipedia vandalism with active learning and statistical language models	Si C. Chin W. Nick Street Padmini Srinivasan David Eichmann			English	This paper proposes an active learning approach using language model statistics to detect Wikipedia vandalism. Wikipedia is a popular and influential collaborative information system. The collaborative nature of authoring, as well as the high visibility of its content, have exposed Wikipedia articles to vandalism. Vandalism is defined as malicious editing intended to compromise the integrity of the content of articles. Extensive manual efforts are being made to combat vandalism and an automated approach to alleviate the laborious process is needed. This paper builds statistical language models, constructing distributions of words from the revision history of Wikipedia articles. As vandalism often involves the use of unexpected words to draw attention, the fitness (or lack thereof) of a new edit when compared with language models built from previous versions may well indicate that an edit is a vandalism instance. In addition, the paper adopts an active learning model to solve the problem of noisy and incomplete labeling of Wikipedia vandalism. The Wikipedia domain with its revision histories offers a novel context in which to explore the potential of language models in characterizing author intention. As the experimental results presented in the paper demonstrate, these models hold promise for vandalism detection.	0	0
Determinants of Wikipedia quality: the roles of global and local contribution inequality	Ofer Arazy Oded Nov			English	The success of Wikipedia and the relative high quality of its articles seem to contradict conventional wisdom. Recent studies have begun shedding light on the processes contributing to Wikipedia's success, highlighting the role of coordination and contribution inequality. In this study, we expand on these works in two ways. First, we make a distinction between global (Wikipedia-wide) and local (article-specific) inequality and investigate both constructs. Second, we explore both direct and indirect effects of these inequalities, exposing the intricate relationships between global inequality, local inequality, coordination, and article quality. We tested our hypotheses on a sample of a Wikipedia articles using structural equation modeling and found that global inequality exerts significant positive impact on article quality, while the effect of local inequality is indirect and is mediated by coordination	0	0

Developing collaborative autonomous learning abilities in computer mediated language learning: attention to meaning among students in wiki space	Greg Kessler Dawn Bikowski			English	This study reports on attention to meaning among 40 NNS pre-service EFL teachers as they collaboratively constructed a wiki in a 16-week online course. Focus is placed upon the nature of individual and group behavior when attending to meaning in a long-term wiki-based collaborative activity as well as the students' collaborative autonomous language learning abilities. Phases of group collaboration as well as individual language acts were analyzed. Student interaction and language use appear to benefit from flexible learning environments although student use of these spaces may not be consistent with instructor expectations. More important than the quality of the final wiki is the process students engage in as they write collaboratively. The paper concludes with a proposed framework for CALL research and practice.	0	0

El diseño de una Wiki sobre ecoturismo como herramienta para el aprendizaje universitario de turismo en entorno virtual	Francesc González Reverté Oriol Miralbell Izard	Wiki Ecotourism E-learning Collaborative working Web 2.0	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	Our case is about the development and implementation of a wiki on Ecotourism for didactical purposes in e-learning, based on a collaborative learning methodology. The goal of the project is twofold: 1) to develop teaching methodologies useful for collaborative working and 2) an efficient use of both students and teachers of the web 2.0 tools. The main contributions are the definition of a new methodology for University team working in e-learning and the integration of the wiki articles as a didactic resource in the virtual classroom. The level of satisfaction among the students who did participate in the experience has been very high. Two problems were detected. First, the technical complexity during the implementation and design of the wiki and, second, the amount of time dedicated to the project by students an the project team. La experiencia consiste en la creación de una wiki sobre Ecoturismo organizada en torno al trabajo colectivo como objeto de aprendizaje de la evaluación continua para la asignatura de (Ecoturismo). Tiene dos objetivos de innovación: 1) el desarrollo de metodologías docentes aptas para el trabajo colaborativo, y 2) habituar al uso de las herramientas del web 2.0 a estudiantes y a docentes. Las principales aportaciones del proyecto han sido el diseño de una metodología novedosa de trabajo en equipo en entorno de aprendizaje virtual; y la integración de las entradas de la wiki como recurso docente. Las encuestas de satisfacción realizadas entre los estudiantes muestran la excelente acogida del proyecto. Los principales problemas detectados tienen que ver con las dificultades técnicas en la implementación de la wiki así como el exceso de carga docente que ha supuesto.	5	0

Encouraging language students to contribute inflection data to Wiktionary	Zachary Kurmas	Wiktionary Inflection Language Wiki	WikiSym	English	We propose building a computer program to simplify access to the inflection (i.e., “word ending”) data in Wiktionary. This program will make it easier to both (1) look up a word’s inflections and, more importantly, (2) edit incorrect inflections. We expect that such a program will encourage foreign language students to both use Wiktionary as a resource and contribute inflection and other grammar data toWiktionary. We believe that the resulting additional activity will make Wiktionary a better resource for students — especially students of those languages for which there are no cheap, comprehensive inflection resources — and provide data that will be beneficial to the wiki research community	1	0

Entity ranking in Wikipedia: utilising categories, links and topic difficulty prediction	Jovan Pehcevski James A. Thom Anne M. Vercoustre Vladimir Naumovski		Information retrieval	English	Abstract  Entity ranking has recently emerged as a research field that aims at retrieving entities as answers to a query. Unlike entity extraction where the goal is to tag names of entities in documents, entity ranking is primarily focused on returning a ranked list of relevant entity names for the query. Many approaches to entity ranking have been proposed, and most of them were evaluated on the INEX Wikipedia test collection. In this paper, we describe a system we developed for ranking Wikipedia entities in answer to a query. The entity ranking approach implemented in our system utilises the known categories, the link structure of Wikipedia, as well as the link co-occurrences with the entity examples (when provided) to retrieve relevant entities as answers to the query. We also extend our entity ranking approach by utilising the knowledge of predicted classes of topic difficulty. To predict the topic difficulty, we generate a classifier that uses features extracted from an INEX topic definition to classify the topic into an experimentally pre-determined class. This knowledge is then utilised to dynamically set the optimal values for the retrieval parameters of our entity ranking system. Our experiments demonstrate that the use of categories and the link structure of Wikipedia can significantly improve entity ranking effectiveness, and that topic difficulty prediction is a promising approach that could also be exploited to further improve the entity ranking performance.	0	0

Evaluating the use of a wiki for collaborative learning	Feng Su Chris Beaumont			English	A wiki is able to provide a learning environment which is closely aligned with the social-constructivist approach and is more natural than many tools where open collaboration and the exchange of ideas are important. This case study analyses and evaluates essential aspects for the successful deployment of a wiki in a higher education setting using Salmon's five-stage e-learning framework. Indicators of the learning benefits were determined by qualitative analysis of students' wiki contributions. Students' perceptions were captured through interviews and questionnaires at the start and end of the project, thereby providing indicators of their motivation towards this method of learning. Our results suggest that a wiki can promote effective collaborative learning and confidence in formative self and peer assessment by facilitating rapid feedback, vicarious learning through observing others' contributions and easy navigation and tracking facilities. Student authorship was also encouraged. Issues identified included providing easy access to the wiki, lack of personalisation, possible vandalism and plagiarism. Also, students with learning difficulties might require extra help and take longer to familiarise themselves with this new e-learning environment.	0	0

Exploring the wiki user experience: the effects of training spaces on novice user usability and anxiety towards wiki editing	Benjamin R. Cowan Mervyn A. Jack		Interacting with Computers	English	With the advent of Web 2.0, the number of IT systems used in university courses is growing. Yet research consistently shows that a significant proportion of students are anxious about computer use. The quality of first experience with computers has been consistently mentioned as a significant contributor to anxiety onset. However the effect of users’ first experience on system related anxiety has not to the authors’ knowledge been researched using controlled experiments. Indeed little experiment based research has been conducted on the wiki user experience, specifically users’ evaluations and emotional reactions towards editing. This research uses usability engineering principles to engineer four different wiki experiences for novice wiki users and measures the effect each has on usability, anxiety during editing and on anxiety about future wiki editing. Each experience varied in the type of training spaces available before completing six live wiki editing tasks. We found that anxiety experienced by users was not related to computer anxiety but was wiki specific. Users in the in-built tutorial conditions also rated the usability of the editing interface higher than users in the non-tutorial conditions. The tutorial conditions also led to a significant reduction in wiki anxiety during interaction but did not significantly affect future editing anxiety. The findings suggest that the use of an in-built tutorial reduces emotional and technological barriers to wiki editing and that controlled experiments can help in discovering how aspects of the system experience can be designed to affect usability and anxiety towards editing wikis.	0	0

Faceted Wikipedia Search	Rasmus Hahn Christian Bizer Christopher Sahnwaldt Christian Herta Scott Robinson Michaela Bürgle Holger Düwiger Ulrich Scheel		International Conference on Business Information Systems	English	Wikipedia articles contain, besides free text, various types of structured information in the form of wiki markup. The type of wiki content that is most valuable for search are Wikipedia infoboxes, which display an article’s most relevant facts as a table of attribute-value pairs on the top right-hand side of the Wikipedia page. Infobox data is not used by Wikipedia’s own search engine. Standard Web search engines like Google or Yahoo also do not take advantage of the data. In this paper, we present Faceted Wikipedia Search, an alternative search interface for Wikipedia, which facilitates infobox data in order to enable users to ask complex questions against Wikipedia knowledge. By allowing users to query Wikipedia like a structured database, Faceted Wikipedia Search helps them to truly exploit Wikipedia’s collective intelligence.	0	0

Facetedpedia: dynamic generation of query-dependent faceted interfaces for Wikipedia	Chengkai Li Ning Yan Senjuti B. Roy Lekhendro Lisham Gautam Das			English	This paper proposes Facetedpedia, a faceted retrieval system for information discovery and exploration in Wikipedia. Given the set of Wikipedia articles resulting from a keyword query, Facetedpedia generates a faceted interface for navigating the result articles. Compared with other faceted retrieval systems, Facetedpedia is fully automatic and dynamic in both facet generation and hierarchy construction, and the facets are based on the rich semantic information from Wikipedia. The essence of our approach is to build upon the collaborative vocabulary in Wikipedia, more specifically the intensive internal structures (hyperlinks) and folksonomy (category system). Given the sheer size and complexity of this corpus, the space of possible choices of faceted interfaces is prohibitively large. We propose metrics for ranking individual facet hierarchies by user's navigational cost, and metrics for ranking interfaces (each with k facets) by both their average pairwise similarities and average navigational costs. We thus develop faceted interface discovery algorithms that optimize the ranking metrics. Our experimental evaluation and user study verify the effectiveness of the system.	0	0

FlowWiki: A Wiki Based Platform for Ad-hoc Collaborative Workflows	Jae-Yoon Jung Kwanho Kim Dongmin Shin Jonghun Park		Knowledge-Based Systems	English	Traditional workflow management systems provide rich capabilities for designing, executing, and monitoring well-defined collaborative processes. Yet, for many occasions of collaboration, we do not often have sufficient information about who will participate, what activities people will carry out, and how the entire workflow will change. Accordingly, the problem of managing flexible workflows has been receiving increasing attention during the last decade. This paper presents a novel approach by which collaborative workflows can be configured independently as needed by participants and managed in an ad hoc way. Motivated by the emerging paradigm of collective intelligence, the proposed platform, named FlowWiki, provides a set of useful mechanisms to enable dynamic collaborations without requiring prescribed collaboration model. FlowWiki is an extension of conventional wiki system, and it aims for flexibly managing collaborative workflows by allowing on-demand workflow configuration and event-driven interactions.	0	0

From Encyclopædia Britannica to Wikipedia: Generational differences in the perceived credibility of online encyclopedia information	Andrew J. Flanagin Miriam J. Metzger	Information credibility Social media User generated content Wikipedia Web 2.0	Information, Communication & Society	English	This study examined the perceived credibility of user-generated (i.e. Wikipedia) versus more expertly provided online encyclopedic information (i.e. Citizendium, and the online version of the Encyclopædia Britannica) across generations. Two large-scale surveys with embedded quasi-experiments were conducted: among 11 –18-year-olds living at home and among adults 18 years and older. Results showed that although use of Wikipedia is common, many people (particularly adults) do not truly comprehend how Wikipedia operates in terms of information provision, and that while people trust Wikipedia as an information source, they express doubt about the appropriateness of doing so. A companion quasi-experiment found that both children and adults assess information to be more credible when it originates or appears to originate from Encyclopædia Britannica. In addition, chil- dren rated information from Wikipedia to be less believable when they viewed it on Wikipedia’s site than when that same information appeared on either Citizendium’s site or on Encyclopædia Britannica’s site. Indeed, content originating from Wikipe- dia was perceived by children as least credible when it was shown on a Wikipedia page, yet the most credible when it was shown on the page of Encyclopædia Brit- annica.

Sook Lim Nahyun Kwon			English	This study examined gender differences in information behavior concerning Wikipedia. Data were collected using a Web survey in spring 2008. The study used a convenient sample that consisted of students who had taken an introductory undergraduate course at a large public university in the Midwestern United States. A total of 134 out of 409 students participated in the study. As information consumers, male students used Wikipedia more frequently than their female counterparts did. With respect to the purposes of Wikipedia use, male students used Wikipedia for entertainment or idle reading more than their female counterparts, while there were no gender differences regarding Wikipedia use for other purposes. Male students were more likely to discount the risks involved when using Wikipedia information compared to their female counterparts. Furthermore, male students had higher ratings than female students regarding most aspects of Wikipedia, including outcome expectations, perceptions about its information quality, belief in the Wikipedia project itself, emotional states while using Wikipedia, confidence in evaluating information quality, and further exploration. Finally, there was no gender difference regarding the number of years of Wikipedia use. However, male students reported having more positive experiences with the information quality of Wikipedia than their female counterparts. Overall, the findings of this study were consistent with those of previous studies concerning gender. Given the acknowledgment of the knowledge value of Wikipedia in recent literature, it seems that there are more advantages to using Wikipedia than there are disadvantages. The current study shows that male students seem to enjoy such benefits more than female students and may have more opportunities to develop their information literacy skills than female students by actively using Wikipedia. This suggests that educators need to encourage female students in particular to explore Wikipedia strategically as an initial information source so that they can develop their information literacy skills for unconventional sources.	0	0
Getting Wiki With It: Using a Wiki as a Web site for Regional Health System Libraries	Michelle A. Kraft			English	Patrons are comfortable accessing library information and resources online; however, hospital libraries often have difficulties creating and maintaining internal and external library Web sites that are easily accessible by library patrons. Librarians examined the use of a wiki to serve as an appropriate and effective means for providing the library patrons, employees of a large regional health system, access to library resources both on and off campus. This article will briefly discuss the methods the librarians used to choose a wiki client and create the site. Also included will be training tips used and handouts given to the other hospital system librarians to help familiarize themselves with the wiki site and empower them to assume responsibility for the maintenance of their library's page within the wiki. Finally, the article will discuss the overall utilization of the wiki site as well as the barriers encountered and possible reasons why the wiki was not as successful as hoped.	0	0

Improving Wikipedia's credibility: References and citations in a sample of history articles	Brendan Luyt Daniel Tan	Wikipedia Bibliographic citations Hypermedia authoring Information literacy Verification	J. Am. Soc. Inf. Sci. Technol.	English	This study evaluates how well the authors of Wikipedia history articles adhere to the site’s policy of assuring verifiability through citations. It does so by examining the references and citations of a subset of country histories. The findings paint a dismal picture. Not only are many claims not verified through citations, those that are suffer from the choice of references used. Many of these are from only a few US government Websites or news media and few are to academic journal material. Given these results, one response would be to declare Wikipedia unsuitable for serious reference work. But another option emerges when we jettison technological determinism and look at Wikipedia as a product of a wider social context. Key to this context is a world in which information is bottled up as commodities requiring payment for access. Equally important is the problematic assumption that texts are undifferentiated bearers of knowledge. Those involved in instructional programs can draw attention to the social nature of texts to counter these assumptions and by so doing create an awareness for a new generation of Wikipedians and Wikipedia users of the need to evaluate texts (and hence citations) in light of the social context of their production and use.	11	1

Increasing collaborative knowledge management in your organization: characteristics of wiki technology and wiki users	Andrea J. Hester			English	This study examines characteristics of Wiki technology and wiki users in an effort to uncover factors facilitating increased adoption and usage of Wiki technology as a collaborative knowledge management tool. The current business environment is characterized by trends in mobility, virtualization and globalization. These trends call for more extensive interaction and collaboration both internal and external to organizations. The resulting changes have been met with an emerging trend of a new generation of Internet-based technologies described as Web 2.0. The umbrella of Web 2.0 technologies support a more collaborative business environment and span across time and distance. Web 2.0 advances have subsequently fostered new approaches to knowledge management with Wiki technology making way as an effective alternative to traditional knowledge management systems. Wiki technology features the unique characteristics of open editing and revision and history capabilities. When these features are combined with knowledge representation and maintenance features and harnessing of collective wisdom, Wiki technology may enable higher levels of collaboration facilitating more effective knowledge processes. Nonetheless, technology and processes are not the only components of a knowledge management system. This study focuses on the users of Wiki technology as another key element in effective utilization of a collaborative knowledge management system.	0	0
Integrating web 2.0 resources by Wikipedia	Chen Liu Bing Cui Anthony K. H. Tung			English	The concept of Web 2.0 becomes prevalent and popular in the past few years. People are able to share and manage their own resources in Web 2.0 Systems. The abundance of Web 2.0 resources in various media formats calls for better resource integration, intending to enrich user experience in both browsing and searching. Though the Web 2.0 resources are shown in various modalities, their tags act as an intuitive medium to connect resources together. However, tagging is by nature an ad hoc activity. They do often contain noises and are affected by the subjective inclination of taggers. Consequently, linking resources simply by tags will not be reliable. In this paper, we propose an effective approach for linking tagged resources to concepts extracted from Wikipedia, which has become a fairly reliable reference over the last few years. Compared to the tags, the concepts are therefore of higher quality. Empirical experiments were conducted, and the results validate the effectiveness of our framework.	0	0

KnowWE: a Semantic Wiki for knowledge engineering	Joachim Baumeister Jochen Reutelshoefer Frank Puppe			English	Recently, Semantic Wikis showed reasonable success as collaboration platforms in the context of social semantic applications. In this paper, we present a novel approach, that interprets the concept of Semantic Wikis as a knowledge engineering environment, that effectively help to build decision-support systems. We introduce the Semantic Wiki KnowWE, that provides the possibility to define and maintain ontologies together with strong problem-solving knowledge. Thus, the wiki can be used to collaboratively build decision-support systems. These enhancements require extensions of the standard Semantic Wiki architecture by a task ontology for problem-solving and an adapted reasoning process. We discuss these extensions in detail, and we describe a case study in the field of medical emergency systems.	0	0

La Wiki-Webquest: Una Actividad Colaborativa En La Asignatura De "Nuevas Tecnologías Aplicadas A La Educación"	Roberto Santos Fernández Beatriz Carramolino Arranz Henar Rodríguez Navarro Bartolomé Rubia Avi	Wiki Wiki-WebQuest Inquiry based learning Collaborative work	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	European Higher Education Institutions are involved in a deep reform in order to adapt themselves to the far reaching set of reforms posed by European Higher Education Area. One of the main changes their teachers have to face up consists on the methodological restructuring of their classes. Thus, it is necessary to reflect on new teacher education methods. This is what we have been proposing within a mandatory undergraduate course on ICT (Information and Communication Technologies applied to Education) to preservice teachers at the College of Education in the University of Valladolid (Spain). The course relies on an Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) approach supported by a Wiki-based environment adapted to the needs of the course. A set of collaborative activities is presented to our students by using this technology. In this article we introduce one of those activities, the elaboration of a Wiki-WebQuest. From this activity, we pretend to show some lights and shadows emerged during the process of knowledge building (the versatility and flexibility of the tool, the possibility given by it to promote collaboration among different Institutions and their students, unsuitability of some content to the specific course, lack of advisory from teachers to primary students about how to use these new tools, etc.) The experience was developed in collaboration with two real primary schools, serving as case studies to design a Wiki-WebQuest for. It was also implemented in collaboration with two other undergraduate courses (Didactic and Foreign Language Methodology), with the aim of enriching the learning process. Las instituciones de educación superior están sufriendo un proceso de reconversión buscando su adaptación a las características del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior. Uno de los cambios más importantes, a los que debe hacer frente su profesorado, consiste en una reorganización metodológica diferente de sus clases. Por ello, es necesario pensar en nuevas fórmulas en la formación del profesorado. Como resultado de esta necesidad, decidimos organizar la asignatura de Nuevas Tecnologías Aplicadas a la Educación, de la Facultad de Educación de Valladolid, empleando una metodología activa, el IBL, apoyada en una plataforma Wiki, proponiendo a nuestro alumnado una serie de actividades que debían realizar colaborativamente. En este trabajo, presentamos una de esas actividades, la elaboración de una Wiki-WebQuest. A partir de la descripción de esta actividad, pretendemos mostrar algunas luces y sombras sobre su puesta en práctica (la versatilidad y flexibilidad de la plataforma, la posibilidad de colaboración entre la universidad y la escuela, la falta de adaptación de algunos contenidos al nivel curricular del curso concreto, la falta de asesoramiento del profesorado al alumnado de primaria sobre el uso de estas nuevas herramientas, etc.) Esta actividad fue desarrollada a partir de la colaboración con contextos educativos reales (dos centros de primaria), sirviendo de caso de estudio para diseñar una Wiki-WebQuest. Asimismo, también colaboraron dos asignaturas de la titulación de Magisterio (Didáctica General y Metodología del Idioma Extranjero), con el objetivo de enriquecer el proceso de aprendizaje.	1	0
La investigación del discurso escrito en el aprendizaje de idiomas en entornos colaborativos y wiki	María Belén Díez-Bedmar Pascual Pérez-Paredes	Virtual platform Wiki Language learning E-discourse Writing skills Collaborative process	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	It is a well-known fact that the use of new technologies has been instrumental in the promotion of digital literacy and collaborative language learning. Notwithstanding, Bax (2003) has seen in CMC an enormous potential in both the open and the normalization stages. Although much of the research in the past years has been geared towards web 1.0 asynchronous communication, more recent efforts have started to analyze the use on synchronous video tools (Jauregui and Bañados, 2008), blogs (Murray and Hourigan, 2008), and wikis (Lund, 2008). This paper examines a collaborative learning experience between higher institutions in the UK and Spain (academic year 2008/2009). This experience offered students the opportunity to develop their writing skill by means of a series of digital activities within which a wiki was integrated. Thus, Spanish and English students were encouraged to write a tourist brochure on a building of historic or/and artistic relevance from the other country in a collaborative way, helping the peer in the writing of the brochure and being helped in a similar way. Es bien sabido que el uso de las nuevas tecnologías ha sido instrumental en la promoción del conocimiento digital y del aprendizaje colaborativo del lenguaje. Sin embargo, Bax (2003) ha visto en la comunicación asistida por ordenador un gran potencial en las etapas abierta y de normalización. Aunque un número importante de investigaciones en los últimos años se han dedicado a la comunicación asíncrona por medio de web 1.0, los esfuerzos realizados en la actualidad han comenzado a analizar el uso de herramientas de video síncronas (Jáuregui y Bañados, 2008), blogs (Murray y Hourigan, 2008) y wikis (Lund, 2008). En este artículo presentamos una experiencia colaborativa en línea entre dos Instituciones de Educación Superior en Inglaterra y España (curso académico 2008/2009). Dicha experiencia ofreció a los alumnos la oportunidad de desarrollar su destreza escritora por medio de una serie de actividades de naturaleza digital en las que el wiki estaba integrado de forma natural. Los alumnos ingleses y españoles se embarcaron en la redacción de un folleto turístico de un monumento relevante desde el punto de vista histórico/artístico del otro país de forma colaborativa, ayudando al compañero en la redacción de su folleto y siendo ayudado de la misma manera.	1	0
Las wikis en mi experiencia docente. Del diccionario de la asignatura al diario de clase	Manuel Area Moreira	Wiki E-learning Virtual teaching Collaborative learning	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	This article provides an overview of the educational possibilities of wikis pointing out the fact that they allow the development of group research projects in a socio-constructivist perspective of knowledge. Then, there are two instantiations of its use in university teaching. In one case, the wiki serves the teamwork of students for them to develop a dictionary with the most relevant concepts of the subject. In another example, the wiki is used to develop a personal diary of each student in each of the sessions. It is concluded that the wikis are highly versatile tools and have a high potential for job evaluations in that they provide teachers information about the development process of the tasks performed by the students. Se ofrece una visión general de las posibilidades educativas de las wikis destacando de las mismas que permite el desarrollo de proyectos de investigación grupales en una perspectiva socioconstructivista del conocimiento. Luego se ofrecen dos ejemplificaciones de su uso en la docencia universitaria. En un caso, la wiki está al servicio del trabajo en equipo de los estudiantes con el objetivo de que éstos elaboren un diccionario con los conceptos más relevantes de la asignatura. En el otro ejemplo, la wiki es empleada para desarrollar un diario personal por parte de cada estudiante de cada una de las sesiones presenciales. Se concluye indicando que las wikis son altamente versátiles y que tienen un alto potencial evaluativo del trabajo de los estudiantes ya que proporcionan al docente información sobre el proceso de desarrollo de las tareas realizadas por los alumnos.	4	0
Learning a Large Scale of Ontology from Japanese Wikipedia	Susumu Tamagawa Shinya Sakurai Takuya Tejima Takeshi Morita Noriaki Izumi Takahira Yamaguchi		Transactions of the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence	English	Here is discussed how to learn a large scale of ontology from Japanese Wikipedia. The learned ontology includes the following properties: rdfs:subClassOf (IS-A relationship), rdf:type (class-instance relationship), owl:Object/DatatypeProperty (Infobox triple), rdfs:domain (property domain), and skos:altLabel (synonym). Experimental case studies show us that the learned Japanese Wikipedia Ontology goes better than already existing general linguistic ontologies, such as EDR and Japanese WordNet, from the points of building costs and structure information richness.	0	0

Linking Wikipedia to the web	Rianne Kaptein Pavel Serdyukov Jaap Kamps			English	We investigate the task of finding links from Wikipedia pages to external web pages. Such external links significantly extend the information in Wikipedia with information from the Web at large, while retaining the encyclopedic organization of Wikipedia. We use a language modeling approach to create a full-text and anchor text runs, and experiment with different document priors. In addition we explore whether social bookmarking site Delicious can be exploited to further improve our performance. We have constructed a test collection of 53 topics, which are Wikipedia pages on different entities. Our findings are that the anchor text index is a very effective method to retrieve home pages. Url class and anchor text length priors and their combination leads to the best results. Using Delicious on its own does not lead to very good results, but it does contain valuable information. Combining the best anchor text run and the Delicious run leads to further improvements.	0	0

Local studies collections, librarians and the Norwegian local history wiki	Tor Sveum	Wiki Local history Librarians Collections Bibliography	New Library World	English	Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relevance of local studies collections and contributions from local studies librarians to a Norwegian local history wiki. Design/methodology/approach – The paper focuses on access to metadata in the form of bibliographies, databases and catalogues, in addition to general articles on local history. The methodological approach is qualitative and comparative based on semi-structured interviews with librarians in charge of local studies collections and with the administrators of the wiki. The study includes an analysis of a selection of local studies collections and criteria for inclusion into the local history wiki. A short comparison with history wikis in other countries is added. Findings – Local studies collections contain valuable and unique material for the wiki, especially metadata resources. The expertise of librarians could increase the value of the wiki. Generally, librarians are not active contributors. Strategies for involvement are needed. Originality/value – The paper may encourage and inspire local studies librarians to contribute actively to the wiki and incorporate relevant parts of their collections.	2	0

Media Art Wiki. Uso de Wikis para la enseñanza interdisciplinar y multimedia del arte de los nuevos medios de comunicación en entornos virtuales de aprendizaje	Pau Alsina	Art Aesthetics New Media Multimedia Wiki	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	This chapter undertakes the analysis of a pilot project based on the use of a Wiki to teach new media art practices. The project titled Media Art Wiki constitutes then a resource for teaching New Media Art and Aesthetics in the context of virtual teaching-learning at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). The initial objectives of the project were on the one hand, the creation of a dynamic and multimedia environment of new media art practices, and on the other, the design of an open and collaborative space that could be nurtured through participative action by the students from the different courses involved, contributing in this way to an interdisciplinary focus of a common subject of study. The aims of Media Art Wiki are to innovate within the virtual classroom in four different aspects: in the process, the format, the structure and the contents, in order to respond in this way to a pedagogical approach that would link each of the activities involved in the Wiki with several programs and courses. This current chapter will take into account the previous implications, which are derived from the use of this type of tool in the academic context. Thus, the chapter is structured in different sections: firstly, we trace the context where the project has been developed; its needs and objectives, considering the theories of significative learning, and its application to the teaching-learning model at the UOC. Secondly, we proceed to describe the design process of the Wiki, defining both its contents and techniques, and the didactic strategy –activities to be fulfilled by students- in the short and long term. Finally, we present the evaluation of this experience from the perspective of the scholars and students in order to conclude with some remarks and possibilities for future development. Este capítulo expone y analiza una experiencia piloto de uso de Wikis para la enseñanza de las prácticas artísticas vinculadas a los nuevos medios de comunicación digital. El denominado “Media Art Wiki” constituye un recurso para la enseñanza del Arte y la Estética de los nuevos medios en un contexto de enseñanza-aprendizaje virtual como es la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). Los objetivos iniciales del proyecto consistieron en generar un entorno dinámico de documentación multimedia de las prácticas de Arte de los nuevos medios, y a su vez, que ese espacio de contenidos abiertos pudiera alimentarse de la acción participativa y colaborativa de los estudiantes de las diferentes asignaturas implicadas, contribuyendo de este modo a un enfoque interdisciplinar de la materia común. El Media Art Wiki pretende innovar dentro del aula virtual en cuatro aspectos diferentes: proceso, formato, estructura y contenidos tratando de responder asimismo a un planteamiento pedagógico, que vincule cada una de las actividades implicadas en el Wiki con varios programas y asignaturas. En este capítulo intentaremos dar cuenta de las implicaciones del uso de este tipo de herramientas en la enseñanza universitaria, estructurando el texto en diferentes apartados que, por un lado, trazan el contexto a partir del cual surgió el proyecto, sus necesidades, objetivos y motivaciones dentro del marco teórico del aprendizaje significativo- y el contexto -modelo de enseñanza-aprendizaje- de la UOC. Por otro lado procedemos a la descripción técnica y de contenido del proyecto, así como el diseño de la estrategia didáctica y de las actividades a desarrollar por los estudiantes a corto y medio plazo. Finalmente exponemos la evaluación de dicha experiencia desde la perspectiva de los docentes y los estudiantes para llegar a plantear nuestras conclusiones y posibilidades de desarrollos de futuro.	4	0

Model-aware Wiki Analysis Tools: the Case of HistoryFlow	Oscar Díaz Gorka Puente		WikiSym	English	Wikis are becoming mainstream. Studies confirm how wikis are finding their way into organizations. This paper focuses on requirements for analysis tools for corporate wikis. Corporate wikis differ from their grow-up counterparts such as Wikipedia. First, they tend to be much smaller. Second, they require analysis to be customized for their own domains. So far, most analysis tools focus on large wikis where handling efficiently large bulks of data is paramount. This tends to make analysis tools access directly the wiki database. This binds the tool to the wiki engine, hence, jeopardizing customizability and interoperability. However, corporate wikis are not so big while customizability is a desirable feature. This change in requirements advocates for analysis tools to be decoupled from the underlying wiki engines. Our approach argues for characterizing analysis tools in terms of their abstract analysis model (e.g. a graph model, a contributor model). How this analysis model is then map into wiki-implementation terms is left to the wiki administrator. The administrator, as the domain expert, can better assess which is the right terms/granularity to conduct the analysis. This accounts for suitability and interoperability gains. The approach is borne out for HistoryFlow, an IBM tool for visualizing evolving wiki pages and the interactions of multiple wiki authors.	8	0

Motivations of Wikipedia content contributors	Heng-Li Yang Cheng-Yu Lai			English	Rapidly developing web technologies have increased the prevalence of user-generated Internet content. Of the many websites with user-generated content on the Internet, one of the most renowned is Wikipedia, which is the largest multilingual free-content encyclopedia written by users collaboratively. Nevertheless, although contributing to Wikipedia takes time and knowledge, contributors are rarely compensated. As a result, there is a need to understand why individuals share their knowledge in Wikipedia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of both conventional and self concept-based motivation on individual willingness to share knowledge in Wikipedia. After performing an online questionnaire survey, SEM was applied to assess the proposed model and hypotheses. The analytical results showed that internal self-concept motivation is the key motivation for knowledge sharing on Wikipedia.	0	0
Multi-label Wikipedia Classification with Textual and Link Features	Boris Chidlovskii			English	We address the problem of categorizing a large set of linked documents with important content and structure aspects, in particular, from the Wikipedia collection proposed at the INEX 2009 XML Mining challenge. We analyze the network of collection pages and turn it into valuable features for the classification. We combine the content-based and link-based features of pages to train an accurate categorizer for unlabelled pages. In the multi-label setting, we revise a number of existing techniques and test some which show a good scalability. We report evaluation results obtained with a variety of learning methods and techniques on the training set of the Wikipedia corpus.	0	0

O papel do sujeito em uma enciclopédia online	Gláucia da Silva Henge		Organon	Portuguese	This text seeks to review the notion of subject from the perspective of discourse analysis to investigate the established designation for those who edit the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. For this, other important notions are rescued, such as: image, discoursive place, meaning and memory. Going through the formulations components of the encyclopedia, we can see the slides of meaning and the game of powers between the speeches, been emerging in the subjectivity of speech through an idealization. The Wikipedian would be, then, the correspondent at the plan of designation of an imaginary construction of the figure of an internet user as the one who applies all web resources and who is free to express himself, exchange with other internet users and who is an encyclopedist inside the virtual universe.	0	0
On measuring the quality of Wikipedia articles	Gabriel De la Calzada Alex Dekhtyar			English	This paper discusses an approach to modeling and measuring information quality of Wikipedia articles. The approach is based on the idea that the quality of Wikipedia articles with distinctly different profiles needs to be measured using different information quality models. We report on our initial study, which involved two categories of Wikipedia articles: "stabilized" (those, whose content has not undergone major changes for a significant period of time) and "controversial" (the articles, which have undergone vandalism, revert wars, or whose content is subject to internal discussions between Wikipedia editors). We present simple information quality models and compare their performance on a subset of Wikipedia articles with the information quality evaluations provided by human users. Our experiment shows, that using special-purpose models for information quality captures user sentiment about Wikipedia articles better than using a single model for both categories of articles.	0	0

Project management in the Wikipedia community	Hang Ung Jean M. Dalle		WikiSym	English	A feature of online communities and notably Wikipedia is the increasing use of managerial techniques to coordinate the efforts of volunteers. In this short paper, we explore the influence of the organization of Wikipedia in so-called projects. We examine the project-based coordination activity and find bursts of activity, which appear to be related to individual leadership. Using time series, we show that coordination activity is positively correlated with contributions on articles. Finally, we bring evidence that this positive correlation is relying on two types of coordination: group coordination, with project leadership and articles editors strongly coinciding, and directed coordination, with differentiated online roles.	0	0
Promoting Ranking Diversity for Biomedical Information Retrieval Using Wikipedia	Xiaoshi Yin Xiangji Huang Zhoujun Li			English	In this paper, we propose a cost-based re-ranking method to promote ranking diversity for biomedical information retrieval. The proposed method concerns with finding passages that cover many different aspects of a query topic. First, aspects covered by retrieved passages are detected and explicitly presented by Wikipedia concepts. Then, an aspect filter based on a two-stage model is introduced. It ranks the detected aspects in decreasing order of the probability that an aspect is generated by the query. Finally, retrieved passages are re-ranked using the proposed cost-based re-ranking method which ranks a passage according to the number of new aspects covered by the passage and the query-relevance of aspects covered by the passage. A series of experiments conducted on the TREC 2006 and 2007 Genomics collections demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in promoting ranking diversity for biomedical information retrieval.	0	0

Ranking of Wikipedia articles in search engines revisited: Fair ranking for reasonable quality?	D. Lewandowski U. Spree		J. Am. Soc. Inf. Sci.	English	Abstract This paper aims to review the fiercely discussed question of whether the ranking of Wikipedia articles in search engines is justified by the quality of the articles. After an overview of current research on information quality in Wikipedia, a summary of the extended discussion on the quality of encyclopedic entries in general is given. On this basis, a heuristic method for evaluating Wikipedia entries is developed and applied to Wikipedia articles that scored highly in a search engine retrieval effectiveness test and compared with the relevance judgment of jurors. In all search engines tested, Wikipedia results are unanimously judged better by the jurors than other results on the corresponding results position. Relevance judgments often roughly correspond with the results from the heuristic evaluation. Cases in which high relevance judgments are not in accordance with the comparatively low score from the heuristic evaluation are interpreted as an indicator of a high degree of trust in Wikipedia. One of the systemic shortcomings of Wikipedia lies in its necessarily incoherent user model. A further tuning of the suggested criteria catalog, for instance, the different weighing of the supplied criteria, could serve as a starting point for a user model differentiated evaluation of Wikipedia articles. Approved methods of quality evaluation of reference works are applied to Wikipedia articles and integrated with the question of search engine evaluation.	0	0

Rationalities of collaboration for language learning in a wiki	Linda Bradley Berner Lindström Hans Rystedt			English	For language learning, online environments allowing for user generated content are becoming increasingly important since they offer possibilities for learners to elaborate on assignments and projects. This study investigates what wikis can do as a means to enhance group interaction, when students are encouraged to participate in constructing text and exchanging peer response. The research focus is on exploring what interaction unfolds in the wiki and how it promotes language learning, from a sociocultural perspective. This interaction is framed both by affordances in the wiki but also by what is expected from students as language learners in an English for Specific Purposes class environment. The analysis has a multilevel approach, focusing on patterns of interaction and the nature of feedback. The study shows that collaboration becomes specifically interesting from a language learning perspective. In the findings, on the student wiki pages there are numerous contributions relating to both local language and global content. Revising co-constructed text opens up possibilities for the students to evaluate existing contributions and it also provides opportunities for them to suggest constructive changes. In addition, with the environment being web based, we discuss certain benefits arising from the fact that it allows for user-generated content.	0	0
Readers are not free-riders: reading as a form of participation on Wikipedia	Judd Antin Coye Cheshire	Wikipedia Participation Free-riding Motivation Incomplete information Social computing	Computer-Supported Cooperative Work	English	The success of Wikipedia as a large-scale collaborative effort has spurred researchers to examine the motivations and behaviors of Wikipedia's participants. However, this research has tended to focus on active involvement rather than more common forms of participation such as reading. In this paper we argue that Wikipedia's readers should not all be characterized as free-riders -- individuals who knowingly choose to take advantage of others' effort. Furthermore, we illustrate how readers provide a valuable service to Wikipedia. Finally, we use the notion of legitimate peripheral participation to argue that reading is a gateway activity through which newcomers learn about Wikipedia. We find support for our arguments in the results of a survey of Wikipedia usage and knowledge. Implications for future research and design are discussed.	0	3

Rich Texts: Wikisource as an Open Access Repository for Law and the Humanities	Timothy K. Armstrong	Digital Libraries Peer Production Open Access Legal Scholarship Wikisource	University of Cincinnati College of Law Public Law & Legal Theory Research Paper Series	English	Open access to research and scholarship, although well established in the sciences, remains an emerging phenomenon in the legal academy. In recent years, a number of open access repositories have been created to permit self-archiving of legal scholarship (either within or across institutional boundaries), and faculties at some leading research institutions have adopted policies supporting open access to their work. Although existing repositories for legal scholarship represent a clear improvement over proprietary, subscription-based repositories in some ways, their architecture, and the narrowly defined missions they have elected to pursue, limit their ability to illuminate the ongoing dialogue among texts that is a defining characteristic of scholarly discourse in law and the humanities. One of the wiki-based projects operated by the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation - the Wikisource digital library - improves upon the shortcomings of existing open access repositories by bringing source texts and commentary together in a single place, with additional contextual materials hosted on other Wikimedia Foundation sites just a click away. These features of Wikisource, if more widely adopted, may improve academic discourse by highlighting conceptual interconnections among works, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and reducing the competitive advantages of proprietary, closed-access legal information services.	3	0
STiki: An Anti-Vandalism Tool for Wikipedia Using Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Revision Metadata	Andrew G. West Sampath Kannan Insup Lee	Wikipedia Collaboration software Information security Intelligent routing Spatio-temporal processing	WikiSym	English	STiki is an anti-vandalism tool for Wikipedia. Unlike similar tools, STiki does not rely on natural language processing (NLP) over the article or diff text to locate vandalism. Instead, STiki leverages spatio-temporal properties of revision metadata. The feasibility of utilizing such properties was demonstrated in our prior work, which found they perform comparably to NLP-efforts while being more efficient, robust to evasion, and language independent. STiki is a real-time, on-Wikipedia implementation based on these properties. It consists of, (1) a server-side processing engine that examines revisions, scoring the likelihood each is vandalism, and, (2) a client-side GUI that presents likely vandalism to end-users for definitive classiffcation (and if necessary, reversion on Wikipedia). Our demonstration will provide an introduction to spatio-temporal properties, demonstrate the STiki software, and discuss alternative research uses for the open-source code.	0	0

Semantic Content Filtering with Wikipedia and Ontologies	Pekka Malo Pyry Siitari Oskar Ahlgren Jyrki Wallenius Pekka Korhonen			English	The use of domain knowledge is generally found to improve query efficiency in content filtering applications. In particular, tangible benefits have been achieved when using knowledge-based approaches within more specialized fields, such as medical free texts or legal documents. However, the problem is that sources of domain knowledge are time-consuming to build and equally costly to maintain. As a potential remedy, recent studies on Wikipedia suggest that this large body of socially constructed knowledge can be effectively harnessed to provide not only facts but also accurate information about semantic concept-similarities. This paper describes a framework for document filtering, where Wikipedia's concept-relatedness information is combined with a domain ontology to produce semantic content classifiers. The approach is evaluated using Reuters RCV1 corpus and TREC-11 filtering task definitions. In a comparative study, the approach shows robust performance and appears to outperform content classifiers based on Support Vector Machines (SVM) and C4.5 algorithm.	17	0

Semantic tagging of and semantic enhancements to systematics papers: ZooKeys working examples	Lyubomir Penev Donat Agosti Teodor Georgiev Terry Catapano Jeremy Miller Vladimir Blagoderov David Roberts Vincent Smith Irina Brake Simon Ryrcroft Ben Scott Norman Johnson Robert Morris Guido Sautter Vishwas Chavan Tim Robertson David Remsen Pavel Stoev Cynthia Parr Sandra Knapp W. John Kress Chris Thompson Terry Erwin	Semantic tagging Semantic enhancements Systematics Taxonomy	ZooKeys	English	The concept of semantic tagging and its potential for semantic enhancements to taxonomic papers is outlined and illustrated by four exemplar papers published in the present issue of ZooKeys. The four papers were created in different ways: (i) written in Microsoft Word and submitted as non-tagged manuscript (doi: 10.3897/zookeys.50.504); (ii) generated from Scratchpads and submitted as XML-tagged manuscripts (doi: 10.3897/zookeys.50.505 and doi: 10.3897/zookeys.50.506); (iii) generated from an author’s database (doi: 10.3897/zookeys.50.485) and submitted as XML-tagged manuscript. XML tagging and semantic enhancements were implemented during the editorial process of ZooKeys using the Pensoft Mark Up Tool (PMT), specially designed for this purpose. The XML schema used was TaxPub, an extension to the Document Type Definitions (DTD) of the US National Library of Medicine Journal Archiving and Interchange Tag Suite (NLM). The following innovative methods of tagging, layout, publishing and disseminating the content were tested and implemented within the ZooKeys editorial workflow: (1) highly automated, fine-grained XML tagging based on TaxPub; (2) final XML output of the paper validated against the NLM DTD for archiving in PubMedCentral; (3) bibliographic metadata embedded in the PDF through XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform); (4) PDF uploaded after publication to the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL); (5) taxon treatments supplied through XML to Plazi; (6) semantically enhanced HTML version of the paper encompassing numerous internal and external links and linkouts, such as: (i) vizualisation of main tag elements within the text (e.g., taxon names, taxon treatments, localities, etc.); (ii) internal cross-linking between paper sections, citations, references, tables, and figures; (iii) mapping of localities listed in the whole paper or within separate taxon treatments; (v) taxon names autotagged, dynamically mapped and linked through the Pensoft Taxon Profile (PTP) to large international database services and indexers such as Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), Barcode of Life (BOLD), Encyclopedia of Life (EOL), ZooBank, Wikipedia, Wikispecies, Wikimedia, and others; (vi) GenBank accession numbers autotagged and linked to NCBI; (vii) external links of taxon names to references in PubMed, Google Scholar, Biodiversity Heritage Library and other sources. With the launching of the working example, ZooKeys becomes the first taxonomic journal to provide a complete XML-based editorial, publication and dissemination workflow implemented as a routine and cost-efficient practice. It is anticipated that XML-based workflow will also soon be implemented in botany through PhytoKeys, a forthcoming partner journal of ZooKeys. The semantic markup and enhancements are expected to greatly extend and accelerate the way taxonomic information is published, disseminated and used.	0	1

Socialization tactics in Wikipedia and their effects	Boreum Choi Kira Alexander Robert E. Kraut John M. Levine	Socialization Wikipedia WikiProject		English	Socialization of newcomers is critical both for conventional groups. It helps groups perform effectively and the newcomers develop commitment. However, little empirical research has investigated the impact of specific socialization tactics on newcomers' commitment to online groups. We examined WikiProjects, subgroups in Wikipedia organized around working on common topics or tasks. In study 1, we identified the seven socialization tactics used most frequently: invitations to join, welcome messages, requests to work on project-related tasks, offers of assistance, positive feedback on a new member's work, constructive criticism, and personal-related comments. In study 2, we examined their impact on newcomers' commitment to the project. Whereas most newcomers contributed fewer edits over time, the declines were slowed or reversed for those socialized with welcome messages, assistance, and constructive criticism. In contrast, invitations led to steeper declines in edits. These results suggest that different socialization tactics play different roles in socializing new members in online groups compared to offline ones.	0	1

Spatiotemporal mapping of Wikipedia concepts	Adrian Popescu Gregory Grefenstette			English	Space and time are important dimensions in the representation of a large number of concepts. However there exists no available resource that provides spatiotemporal mappings of generic concepts. Here we present a link-analysis based method for extracting the main locations and periods associated to all Wikipedia concepts. Relevant locations are selected from a set of geotagged articles, while relevant periods are discovered using a list of people with associated life periods. We analyze article versions over multiple languages and consider the strength of a spatial/temporal reference to be proportional to the number of languages in which it appears. To illustrate the utility of the spatiotemporal mapping of Wikipedia concepts, we present an analysis of cultural interactions and a temporal analysis of two domains. The Wikipedia mapping can also be used to perform rich spatiotemporal document indexing by extracting implicit spatial and temporal references from texts.	0	0
