959 Nematode Genomes: a semantic wiki for coordinating sequencing projects	Sujai Kumar Philipp H. Schiffer Mark Blaxter			English	Genome sequencing has been democratized by second-generation technologies, and even small labs can sequence metazoan genomes now. In this article, we describe '959 Nematode Genomes'-a community-curated semantic wiki to coordinate the sequencing efforts of individual labs to collectively sequence 959 genomes spanning the phylum Nematoda. The main goal of the wiki is to track sequencing projects that have been proposed, are in progress, or have been completed. Wiki pages for species and strains are linked to pages for people and organizations, using machine- and human-readable metadata that users can query to see the status of their favourite worm. The site is based on the same platform that runs Wikipedia, with semantic extensions that allow the underlying taxonomy and data storage models to be maintained and updated with ease compared with a conventional database-driven web site. The wiki also provides a way to track and share preliminary data if those data are not polished enough to be submitted to the official sequence repositories. In just over a year, this wiki has already fostered new international collaborations and attracted newcomers to the enthusiastic community of nematode genomicists. www.nematodegenomes.org.	0	0
A Characterization of Wikipedia Content Based on Motifs in the Edit Graph	Guangyu Wu Martin Harrigan Pádraig Cunningham		SMUC '11: Proceedings of the 3rd international workshop on Search and mining user-generated contents	English	Good Wikipedia articles are authoritative sources due to the collaboration of a number of knowledgeable contributors. This is the many eyes idea. The edit network associated with a Wikipedia article can tell us something about its quality or authoritativeness. In this paper we explore the hypothesis that the characteristics of this edit network are predictive of the quality of the corresponding article's content. We characterize the edit network using a profile of network motifs and we show that this network motif profile is predictive of the Wikipedia quality classes assigned to articles by Wikipedia editors. We further show that the network motif profile can identify outlier articles particularly in the 'Featured Article' class, the highest Wikipedia quality class.	8	0

A Technological Reinvention of the Textbook: A Wikibooks Project	Patrick M. O’Shea James C. Onderdonk Douglas Allen Dwight W. Allen	Pedagogy Technology Textbooks Wikibooks	Journal of Digital Learning in Teacher Education	English	Education traditionally has been defined as a one-way relationship between teacher and learner. However, new technologies are dramatically changing that relationship in a multitude of ways. In this article, the authors describe some of these changes and explore one example of the intersection between technology and pedagogy, describing a college course in which students compose the course text using the wiki platform. The process described proceeds from the premise that the needs and capacity of learners in the information age have been transformed and discusses one way that using an appropriate technology may address them. For this wikibook, the creators of the content become the prime users of the content as well. The authors discuss both the philosophical underpinnings and practical implications of this approach. Evaluation of the project suggests that the methodology produces an active, credible learning process. This study explores the advantages and disadvantages of this wiki process to provide context concerning the efficacy and utility of employing particular types of Web 2.0 tools. The course development rationale points to its potential for radically changing how students and teachers interact with the phenomenon of ubiquitous learning.	2	0

A gripe suína na Wikipédia em português: análise da dinâmica de edições e qualificação do conteúdo de dois artigos	Bernardo Esteves Gonçalves da Costa Carlos Frederico de Brito d’Andréa	Wikipedia Swine flu Science	Intexto	Portuguese	This article intends to analyze and compare the collaborative edition of two articles about pandemic influenza A (H1N1) — or swine flu — in the Portuguese-language edition of Wikipedia. We have monitored the edits made in those articles during one month after they were created on April 25, 2009. We have characterized the edition of the texts and the dynamics of interactions among the editors. Additionally, we have analyzed their contents according to three criteria: authority, verifiability and timeliness.	11	0
A lexicon for processing archaic language: the case of XIXth century Slovene	Tomaž Erjavec Christoph Ringlstetter Maja Žorga Annette Gotscharek		WoLeR 2011: International Workshop on Lexical Resources	English	The paper presents a lexicon to support computational processing of historical Slovene texts. Historical Slovene texts are being increasingly digitised and made available on the internet but are still underutilised as no language technology support is offered for their processing. Appropriate tools and resources would enable full-text searching with modern-day lemmas, modernisation of archaic language to make it more accessible to today‟s readers, and automatic OCR correction. We discuss the lexicon needed to support tokenisation, modernisation, lemmatisation and part-of-speech tagging of historical texts. The process of lexicon acquisition relies on a proof-read corpus, a large lexicon of contemporary Slovene, and tools to map historical forms to their contemporary equivalents via a set of rewrite rules, and to provide an editing environment for lexicon construction. The lexicon, currently work in progress, will be made publicly available; it should help not only in making digital libraries more accessible but also provide a quantitative basis for linguistic explorations of historical Slovene texts and a prototype electronic dictionary of archaic Slovene.	1	0

A quantitative examination of the impact of featured articles in Wikipedia	Antonio J. Reinoso Jesús M. González-Barahona Rocío Muñoz Mansilla Israel Herraiz	Wikipedia Featured articles Usage patterns Traffic characterization Quantitative analysis	ICSOFT	English	This paper presents a quantitative examination of the impact of the presentation of featured articles as quality content in the main page of several Wikipedia editions. Moreover, the paper also presents the analysis performed to determine the number of visits received by the articles promoted to the featured status. We have analyzed the visits not only in the month when articles awarded the promotion or were included in the main page, but also in the previous and following ones. The main aim for this is to assess the attention attracted by the featured content and the different dynamics exhibited by each community of users in respect to the promotion process. The main results of this paper are twofold: it shows how to extract relevant information related to the use of Wikipedia, which is an emerging research topic, and it analyzes whether the featured articles mechanism achieve to attract more attention.	3	0

A simultaneous journal / wiki publication and dissemination of a new species description: Neobidessodes darwiniensis sp. n. from northern Australia (Coleoptera, Dytiscidae, Bidessini)	Lars Hendrich Michael Balke	Wiki Species ID Online species pages Cox1 Sequence data DNA barcoding Molecular biodiversity assessment	ZooKeys	English	Here, we describe a new Australian species in journal format and simultaneously open the description in a wiki format on the www.species-id.net. The wiki format will always link to the fixed original journal description of the taxon, however it permits future edits and additions to species' taxonomy and biology. The diving beetle Neobidessodes darwiniensis sp. n. (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae, Bidessini) is described based on a single female, collected in a rest pool of the Harriet Creek in the Darwin Area, Northern Territory. Within Neobidessodes the new species is well characterized by its elongate oval body with rounded sides, short and stout segments of antennae, length of body and dorsal surface coloration. In addition to external morphology, we used mitochondrial cox1 sequence data to support generic assignment and to delineate the new species from other Australian Bidessini including all other known Neobidessodes. Illustrations based on digital images are provided here and as online resources. A modified key is provided. Altogether ten species of the genus are now known worldwide, nine from Australia and one from New Guinea.	0	1
AVBOT: Detecting and fixing vandalism in Wikipedia	Emilio J. Rodríguez-Posada	AVBOT Robot Libre software MediaWiki Monitoring Vandalism Wikipedia Wiki	UPGRADE	English	Wikipedia is a project which aims to build a free encyclopaedia to spread the sum of all knowledge to every single human being. Today it can be said to be on the road to achieving that goal, having reached the 15 million articles milestone in 270 languages. Furthermore, if we include its sister projects (Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikisource,...), it has received more than 1 billion edits in 10 years and now has more than 10 billion page views every month. Compiling an encyclopaedia in a collaborative way has been possible thanks to MediaWiki software. It allows everybody to modify the content available on the site easily. But a problem emerges regarding this model: not all edits are made in good faith. AVBOT is a bot for protecting the Spanish Wikipedia against some undesired modifications known as vandalism. Although AVBOT was developed for Wikipedia, it can be used on any MediaWiki website. It is developed in Python and is free software. In the 2 years it has been in operation it has reverted more than 200,000 vandalism edits, while several clones have been executed, adding thousands of reverts to this count.	0	0

An Introductory Historical Contextualization of Online Creation Communities for the Building of Digital Commons: The Emergence of a Free Culture Movement	Mayo Fuster Morell		Proceedings of the 6th Open Knowledge Conference	English	Online Creation Communities (OCCs) are a set of individuals that communicate, interact and collaborate; in several forms and degrees of participation which are eco-systemically integrated; mainly via a platform of participation on the Internet, on which they depend; and aiming at knowledge-making and sharing. The paper will first provide an historical contextualization OCCs. Then, it will show how the development of OCCs is fuelled by and contributes to, the rise of a free culture movement defending and advocating the creation of digital commons, and provide an empirically grounded definition of free culture movement. The empirical analyses is based content analysis of 80 interviews to free culture practitioners, promoters and activists with an international background or rooted in Europe, USA and Latino-America and the content analysis of two seminar discussions. The data collection was developed from 2008 to 2010.	0	0

Analyzing the wikisphere: Methodology and data to support quantitative wiki research	Jeffrey Stuckman James Purtilo		Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology	English	Owing to the inherent difficulty in obtaining experimental data from wikis, past quantitative wiki research has largely focused on Wikipedia, limiting the ability to generalize such research. To facilitate the analysis of wikis other than Wikipedia, we developed WikiCrawler, a tool that automatically gathers research data from public wikis without supervision. We then built a corpus of 151 wikis, which we have made publicly available. Our analysis indicated that these wikis display signs of collaborative authorship, validating them as objects of study. We then performed an initial analysis of the corpus and discovered some similarities with Wikipedia, such as users contributing at unequal rates. We also analyzed distributions of edits across pages and users, resulting in data which can motivate or verify mathematical models of behavior on wikis. By providing data collection tools and a corpus of already-collected data, we have completed an important first step for investigations that analyze user behavior, establish measurement baselines for wiki evaluation, and generalize Wikipedia research by testing hypotheses across many wikis.	0	0

Automatically assigning Wikipedia articles to macro-categories	Jacopo Farina Riccardo Tasso David Laniado	Wikipedia Category graph Topic coverage	Hypertext	English	The online encyclopedia Wikipedia offers millions of articles which are organized in a hierarchical category structure, created and updated by users. In this paper we present a technique which leverages this rich and disordered graph to assign each article to one or more topics. We modify an existing approach, based on the shortest paths between categories, in order to account for the direction of the hierarchy.	0	0
Autonomous Link Spam Detection in Purely Collaborative Environments	Andrew G. West Avantika Agrawal Phillip Baker Brittney Exline Insup Lee	Wikipedia Collaboration Collaborative security Information security Spam Spam mitigation Reputation Spatio- temporal features Machine learning Intelligent routing	WikiSym	English	Collaborative models (e.g., wikis) are an increasingly prevalent Web technology. However, the open-access that defines such systems can also be utilized for nefarious purposes. In particular, this paper examines the use of collaborative functionality to add inappropriate hyperlinks to destinations outside the host environment (i.e., link spam). The collaborative encyclopedia, Wikipedia, is the basis for our analysis. Recent research has exposed vulnerabilities in Wikipedia's link spam mitigation, finding that human editors are latent and dwindling in quantity. To this end, we propose and develop an autonomous classifier for link additions. Such a system presents unique challenges. For example, low barriers-to-entry invite a diversity of spam types, not just those with economic motivations. Moreover, issues can arise with how a link is presented (regardless of the destination). In this work, a spam corpus is extracted from over 235,000 link additions to English Wikipedia. From this, 40+ features are codified and analyzed. These indicators are computed using "wiki" metadata, landing site analysis, and external data sources. The resulting classifier attains 64% recall at 0.5% false-positives (ROC-AUC=0.97). Such performance could enable egregious link additions to be blocked automatically with low false-positive rates, while prioritizing the remainder for human inspection. Finally, a live Wikipedia implementation of the technique has been developed.	0	0

Co-authorship 2.0: patterns of collaboration in Wikipedia	David Laniado Riccardo Tasso	Wikipedia Collaboration network Online production Social network analysis	Hypertext	English	The study of collaboration patterns in wikis can help shed light on the process of content creation by online communities. To turn a wiki's revision history into a collaboration network, we propose an algorithm that identifies as authors of a page the users who provided the most of its relevant content, measured in terms of quantity and of acceptance by the community. The scalability of this approach allows us to study the English Wikipedia community as a co-authorship network. We find evidence of the presence of a nucleus of very active contributors, who seem to spread over the whole wiki, and to interact preferentially with inexperienced users. The fundamental role played by this elite is witnessed by the growing centrality of sociometric stars in the network. Isolating the community active around a category, it is possible to study its specific dynamics and most influential authors.	0	1

Coerência entre princípios e práticas na Wikipédia Lusófona: uma análise semiótica	Paulo Henrique Souto Maior Serrano	Wikipedia Communities of Practice Semiotics Valuation Tensive Semiotics		Portuguese	This paper presents the method, the analysis and the results of a study that examined the operation dynamics and consistency between the guidelines of conduct and practice of editing at the Lusophone version of Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This work uses information and content published under the Creative Commons / Share alike 3.0 that indicates the need to distribute the resulting work under the same license. The online encyclopedia can be freely changed by users that browse its contents. Discussions on the permanence or alteration of information published are held in a special discussion page where people can argue about the differences of opinion and reach consensus. This process occurs from cognitive and pragmatic sanctions given to themes and figures that make up the thematic isotopy of users enunciation. The identification of these elements in this dissertation, was carried out by Greimas' semiotics. Sanctions should pragmatically represent the guidelines of the collaborative process on Wikipedia, but there are institutionalized rules that are presented to users as the five pillars of Wikipedia. The five pillars are about the encyclopedism, neutral point of view, free license, community conviviality and liberality in the rules. The statute assigns values to the practice of encyclopedias and information that are published by them. These values were defined by tensive semiotics and compared with the cognitive and pragmatic sanctions of the isotopies enunciated by users, to check the consistency between what is being requested by Wikipedia and what is being done by their contributors. The results of this comparison show some similarities and differences between discourse and practice, indicating ownership of Wikipedia by its users and the need for more accuracy and criteria in conflicting issues or controversies for the permanence of information on the page entry. The verifiability of the information was presented as a greatly appreciated theme by users, indicating the importance of the veracity of reference sources and the verification of information. The freedoms and distribution of powers introduced by the principles are denied on the practice of editing. Wikipedia presented itself as a very liberal and tolerant encyclopedia, giving substance to the collaboration, but, in practice, very restrictive and careful when it comes to the permanence of a content in the article page.	4	1

Collective memory building in Wikipedia: The case of North African uprisings	Michela Ferron Paolo Massa	Wikipedia Web 2.0 Collective memory Revolution Traumatic event Egypt North Africa	WikiSym	English	Since December 2010, a series of protests and uprisings have shocked North African countries such as Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Yemen and more. In this paper, focusing mainly on the Egyptian revolution, we provide evidence of the intense edit activity occurred during these uprisings on the related Wikipedia pages. Thousands of people provided their contribution on the content pages and discussed improvements and disagreements on the associated talk pages as the traumatic events unfolded. We propose to interpret this phenomenon as a process of collective memory building and argue how on Wikipedia this can be studied empirically and quantitatively in real time. We explore and suggest possible directions for future research on collective memory formation of traumatic and controversial events in Wikipedia.	14	0

Content disputes in Wikipedia reflect geopolitical instability	Gordana Apic Matthew J. Betts Robert B. Russell			English	Indicators that rank countries according socioeconomic measurements are important tools for regional development and political reform. Those currently in widespread use are sometimes criticized for a lack of reproducibility or the inability to compare values over time, necessitating simple, fast and systematic measures. Here, we applied the 'guilt by association' principle often used in biological networks to the information network within the online encyclopedia Wikipedia to create an indicator quantifying the degree to which pages linked to a country are disputed by contributors. The indicator correlates with metrics of governance, political or economic stability about as well as they correlate with each other, and though faster and simpler, it is remarkably stable over time despite constant changes in the underlying disputes. For some countries, changes over a four year period appear to correlate with world events related to conflicts or economic problems.	0	1

Creating online collaborative environments for museums: a case study of a museum wiki	Alison Hsiang-Yi Liu Jonathan P. Bowen	Knowledge management Collaborative learning Community of practice Museum Online community Wiki	Int. J. Web Based Communities	English	Museums have been increasingly adopting Web 2.0 technology to reach and interact with their visitors. Some have experimented with wikis to allow both curators and visitors to provide complementary information about objects in the museum. An example of this is the Object Wiki from the Science Museum in London. Little has been done to study these interactions in an academic framework. In the field of knowledge management, the concept of 'communities of practice' has been posited as a suitable structure in which to study how knowledge is developed within a community with a common interest in a particular domain, using a sociological approach. Previously this has been used in investigating the management of knowledge within business organisations, teachers' professional development, and online e-learning communities. The authors apply this approach to a museum-based wiki to assess its applicability for such an endeavour.	1	0
Creative Commons licenses and the non-commercial condition	Daniel Mietchen Robert A. Morris Donat Agosti Lyubomir Penev Walter G. Berendsohn Donald Hobern		ZooKeys	English	The Creative Commons (CC) licenses are a suite of copyright-based licenses defining terms for the distribution and re-use of creative works. CC provides licenses for different use cases and includes open content licenses such as the Attribution license (CC BY, used by many Open Access scientific publishers) and the Attribution Share Alike license (CC BY-SA, used by Wikipedia, for example). However, the license suite also contains non-free and non-open licenses like those containing a “non-commercial” (NC) condition. Although many people identify “non-commercial” with “non-profit”, detailed analysis reveals that significant differences exist and that the license may impose some unexpected re-use limitations on works thus licensed. After providing background information on the concepts of Creative Commons licenses in general, this contribution focuses on the NC condition, its advantages, disadvantages and appropriate scope. Specifically, it contributes material towards a risk analysis for potential re-users of NC-licensed works.	0	0

Cultural bias in Wikipedia content on famous persons	Ewa S. Callahan Susan C. Herring		Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology	English	Wikipedia advocates a strict "neutral point of view" (NPOV) policy. However, although originally a U.S-based, English-language phenomenon, the online, user-created encyclopedia now has versions in many languages. This study examines the extent to which content and perspectives vary across cultures by comparing articles about famous persons in the Polish and English editions of Wikipedia. The results of quantitative and qualitative content analyses reveal systematic differences related to the different cultures, histories, and values of Poland and the United States; at the same time, a U.S./English-language advantage is evident throughout. In conclusion, the implications of these findings for the quality and objectivity of Wikipedia as a global repository of knowledge are discussed, and recommendations are advanced for Wikipedia end users and content developers.	22	2
DBWiki: a structured wiki for curated data and collaborative data management	Peter Buneman James Cheney Sam Lindley Heiko Müller			English	Wikis have proved enormously successful as a means to collaborate in the creation and publication of textual information. At the same time, a large number of curated databases have been developed through collaboration for the dissemination of structured data in specific domains, particularly bioinformatics. We demonstrate a general-purpose platform for collaborative data management, DBWiki, designed to achieve the best of both worlds. Our system not only facilitates the collaborative creation of a database; it also provides features not usually provided by database technology such as versioning, provenance tracking, citability, and annotation. In our demonstration we will show how DBWiki makes it easy to create, correct, discuss and query structured data, placing more power in the hands of users while managing tedious details of data curation automatically.	0	0

Deconstructing Wikipedia: Collaborative Content Creation in an Open Process Platform	Andrew Feldstein		Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences	English	Collaboration in Wikipedia articles has widely been touted as a great leap forward and an example of how technology can be leveraged to improve collaborative processes. If we focus on the creation of individual articles, what does that creation process look like? Information was collected from the Revision History Statistics page of thirty Wikipedia featured articles to examine variables such as number of edits, number of editors and total edits by the largest contributors to a given article. This small pilot study suggests that the article creation process may more closely mirror the traditional writer/editor process than it does the “crowd as writer-editor”. It also raises questions about potential changes in how people view the content creation process.	0	0
Design Mechanisms for MediaWiki to Support Collaborative Writing in a Mandatory Context	Sumonta Kasemvilas	Design Information technology Educational technology		English	Because MediaWiki is not appropriate for use in the classroom setting due to its decentralization, arbitrariness, and sharing, its flexible characteristics complicate concepts of practical design when applying MediaWiki in a mandatory writing context. This dissertation identifies a need to add extensions to facilitate increased accountability, project management, discussion, and awareness based on a theoretical framework, proposes MediaWiki with some modifications as an innovative way to optimize the strengths associated with constructivist learning and social presence, and examines the results of those changes. Relevant theoretical perspectives are used to contextualize the potential significance of additional extensions of MediaWiki. Three categories of mechanisms in MediaWiki—role, awareness, and project management—were newly developed in this research. They are designed to increase project control and accountability. Discussion, chat, text editor, and online notification extensions were also installed and customized to meet the needs of the students. Two case studies were conducted in two separate graduate classes to test the value of the extensions. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed. Use of qualitative methods helps add texture to quantitative findings. The findings illustrate some potential impact for classroom use. Delineation of the results in Case Study 1 and Case Study 2 provides well-grounded rationale for why the proposed new MediaWiki mechanisms positively impact collaborative writing. By applying a set of extended features to MediaWiki, some problems were solved and others were mitigated, but other problems were not resolved and new problems emerged. Thus, this study articulates the benefits and the additional problems using MediaWiki and extensions and suggests ways to improve the group writing process. Using MediaWiki in academia needs appropriate governance and proper technology. The results potentially offer new teaching mechanisms for graduate students involved with collaborative writing. The study holds promise in improving collaborative efforts in mandatory group writing projects and discusses a way to facilitate collaborative writing in this context. Implications of this study can assist researchers and developers in understanding what effects the extensions have on users.	26	0

Detection of Text Quality Flaws as a One-class Classification Problem	Maik Anderka Benno Stein Nedim Lipka	Information quality Wikipedia Quality Flaw Prediction One-class Classification	20th ACM Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM 11)	English	For Web applications that are based on user generated content the detection of text quality flaws is a key concern. Our research contributes to automatic quality flaw detection. In particular, we propose to cast the detection of text quality flaws as a one-class classification problem: we are given only positive examples (= texts containing a particular quality flaw) and decide whether or not an unseen text suffers from this flaw. We argue that common binary or multiclass classification approaches are ineffective in here, and we underpin our approach by a real-world application: we employ a dedicated one-class learning approach to determine whether a given Wikipedia article suffers from certain quality flaws. Since in the Wikipedia setting the acquisition of sensible test data is quite intricate, we analyze the effects of a biased sample selection. In addition, we illustrate the classifier effectiveness as a function of the flaw distribution in order to cope with the unknown (real-world) flaw-specific class imbalances. Altogether, provided test data with little noise, four from ten important quality flaws in Wikipedia can be detected with a precision close to 1.	0	0

Don't bite the newbies: how reverts affect the quantity and quality of Wikipedia work	Aaron Halfaker Aniket Kittur John Riedl	WikiWork Wikipedia Experience Motivation Productivity Quality Revert	WikiSym	English	Reverts are important to maintaining the quality of Wikipedia. They fix mistakes, repair vandalism, and help enforce policy. However, reverts can also be damaging, especially to the aspiring editor whose work they destroy. In this research we analyze 400,000 Wikipedia revisions to understand the effect that reverts had on editors. We seek to understand the extent to which they demotivate users, reducing the workforce of contributors, versus the extent to which they help users improve as encyclopedia editors. Overall we find that reverts are powerfully demotivating, but that their net influence is that more quality work is done in Wikipedia as a result of reverts than is lost by chasing editors away. However, we identify key conditions – most specifically new editors being reverted by much more experienced editors – under which reverts are particularly damaging. We propose that reducing the damage from reverts might be one effective path for Wikipedia to solve the newcomer retention problem.	0	0

EcoliWiki: a wiki-based community resource for Escherichia coli	Brenley K. McIntosh Daniel P. Renfro Gwendowlyn S. Knapp Chanchala R. Lairikyengbam Nathan M. Liles Lili Niu Amanda M. Supak Anand Venkatraman Adrienne E. Zweifel Deborah A. Siegele James C. Hu			English	EcoliWiki is the community annotation component of the PortEco (http://porteco.org; formerly EcoliHub) project, an online data resource that integrates information on laboratory strains of Escherichia coli, its phages, plasmids and mobile genetic elements. As one of the early adopters of the wiki approach to model organism databases, EcoliWiki was designed to not only facilitate community-driven sharing of biological knowledge about E. coli as a model organism, but also to be interoperable with other data resources. EcoliWiki content currently covers genes from five laboratory E. coli strains, 21 bacteriophage genomes, F plasmid and eight transposons. EcoliWiki integrates the Mediawiki wiki platform with other open-source software tools and in-house software development to extend how wikis can be used for model organism databases. EcoliWiki can be accessed online at http://ecoliwiki.net.	0	0
Edit wars in Wikipedia	Róbert Sumi Taha Yasseri András Rung András Kornai János Kertész		IEEE Third International Conference on Social Computing	English	We present a new, efficient method for automatically detecting severe conflicts `edit wars' in Wikipedia and evaluate this method on six different language WPs. We discuss how the number of edits, reverts, the length of discussions, the burstiness of edits and reverts deviate in such pages from those following the general workflow, and argue that earlier work has significantly over-estimated the contentiousness of the Wikipedia editing process.	9	2

El potlatch digital. Wikipedia y el triunfo del procomún y el conocimiento compartido	Felipe Ortega Joaquín Rodríguez López			Spanish	En el año 1968, Garret Hardin publicó en la revis­ta «Science» un artículo determinante, «The Trage­dy of the Commons», en el que reflexionaba sobre la dificultad de la gestión de los bienes y los recursos comunes y sobre el peligro al que estaba expuesta su subsistencia. La Premio Nobel de Economía Elinor Ostrom pasaría la mayor parte de su vida profesional investigando, precisamente, sobre los mecanismos de la acción colectiva y la gestión solidaria del proco­mún, intentando inferir de las buenas prácticas al­gunas características estructurales comunes. Con la in­vención de Internet y la digitalización del conoci­miento, resurge con vigor en versión digital el pro­blema analógico precedente: ¿cómo pueden surgir y autogestionarse comunidades online cuyo propósito es la generación de conocimiento compartido? Es decir, ¿cómo puede y debe gestionarse el procomún digital, el «digital commons»? Wikipedia ofrece un ejem­plo prototípico y floreciente de la construcción de una comunidad que consensúa sus políticas, esta­blece sus mecanismos internos de reconocimiento y orga­niza sus dispositivos de control y vigilancia, todo sin que circule efectivo de ninguna clase. El caso del «potlatch» canadiense nos sirve para comprender cómo en determinados contextos y circunstancias es nece­sario desprenderse del capital que se posee para que la comunidad lo devuelva y lo reintegre en forma de reconocimiento y renombre; cómo en determinados contextos culturales, la especie de capital que circula no es monetaria, sino simbólica, en forma de repu­tación y popularidad, y la lógica de su acumulación exige ser desinteresado para generar otra forma de interés. Así funcionan algunos de los casos más co­nocidos de Internet y así se ha convertido la Wikipe­dia en un caso del triunfo de la gestión del procomún y el conocimiento compartido.	0	0

Evaluating WikiTrust: A trust support tool for Wikipedia	Teun Lucassen Jan Maarten Schraagen		First Monday	English	Because of the open character of Wikipedia readers should always be aware of the possibility of false information. WikiTrust aims at helping readers to judge the trustworthiness of articles by coloring the background of less trustworthy words in a shade of orange. In this study we look into the effects of such coloring on reading behavior and trust evaluation by means of an eye–tracking experiment. The results show that readers had more difficulties reading the articles with coloring than without coloring. Trust in heavily colored articles was lower. The main concern is that the participants in our experiment rated usefulness of WikiTrust low.	7	0

Whereas our applications of semantic wikis in e-government focus on organizing and structuring architectural knowledge for reuse, the applications in distributed software development focus on searching and querying architectural knowledge. Yet, the emerging research challenges - alignment of knowledge models, knowledge versioning, change acknowledgements - are very similar.	0	0

Exploring linguistic points of view of Wikipedia	Paolo Massa Federico Scrinzi	Wikipedia Linguistic point of view Neutral point of view Cross-cultural Language Comparison Open source Web	WikiSym	English	The 3 million articles of the English Wikipedia has been written since 2011 by more than 14 million volunteers. On each article, the community of editors strive to reach a neutral point of view, representing all significant views fairly, proportionately, and without bias. However, beside the English one, there are more than 270 Wikipedias in different languages and their relatively isolated communities of editors are not forced by the platform to discuss and negotiate their points of view. So the empirical question is: do communities on different languages editions of Wikipedia develop their own diverse Linguistic Points of View (LPOV)? To answer this question we created Manypedia, a web tool whose goal is to ease cross-cultural comparisons of Wikipedia language communities by analyzing their different representations of the same topic.	0	1

Exploring students’ perceptions of integrating Wiki technology and peer feedback into English writing courses	Wen-Chuan Lin Shu Ching Yang	Collaborative writing Peer review Wiki	English Teaching: Practice and Critique	English	This study applied Wiki technology and peer review to an English as a foreign language writing class. The objective was to investigate whether this system, as a collaborative platform, would improve students writing skills. The study gauged students’ perceptions about integrating a Wiki writing course and peer feedback. The participants were 32 sophomore students in an English department at a college in Taiwan. The study used a socio-cultural theoretical framework to explore students’ perceptions of the effectiveness of Wiki-based writing projects and experiences of social interaction in the process of writing, based on self-reported reflections about the project, observations of student learning, interviews and surveys. Findings revealed that most students explicitly stated that they felt positive about their ability to apply Wiki and peer feedback to writing instruction. Meaningful social interaction appears to play a significant role with regard to students’ perceived benefits of this collaborative writing process. Students nevertheless encountered both functional and psychological obstacles to using the new tools, indicating the need to alter their traditional learning practices to embrace new, technology-enhanced learning systems.	9	0

Factual accuracy and trust in information: The role of expertise	Teun Lucassen Jan Maarten Schraagen		Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology	English	In the past few decades, the task of judging the credibility of information has shifted from trained professionals (e.g., editors) to end users of information (e.g., casual Internet users). Lacking training in this task, it is highly relevant to research the behavior of these end users. In this article, we propose a new model of trust in information, in which trust judgments are dependent on three user characteristics: source experience, domain expertise, and information skills. Applying any of these three characteristics leads to different features of the information being used in trust judgments; namely source, semantic, and surface features (hence, the name 3S-model). An online experiment was performed to validate the 3S-model. In this experiment, Wikipedia articles of varying accuracy (semantic feature) were presented to Internet users. Trust judgments of domain experts on these articles were largely influenced by accuracy whereas trust judgments of novices remained mostly unchanged. Moreover, despite the influence of accuracy, the percentage of trusting participants, both experts and novices, was high in all conditions. Along with the rationales provided for such trust judgments, the outcome of the experiment largely supports the 3S-model, which can serve as a framework for future research on trust in information.	0	0

Finding social roles in Wikipedia	Howard T. Welser Dan Cosley Gueorgi Kossinets Austin Lin Fedor Dokshin Geri Gay Marc Smith			English	This paper investigates some of the social roles people play in the online community of Wikipedia. We start from qualitative comments posted on community oriented pages, wiki project memberships, and user talk pages in order to identify a sample of editors who represent four key roles: substantive experts, technical editors, vandal fighters, and social networkers. Patterns in edit histories and egocentric network visualizations suggest potential "structural signatures" that could be used as quantitative indicators of role adoption. Using simple metrics based on edit histories we compare two samples of Wikipedians: a collection of long term dedicated editors, and a cohort of editors from a one month window of new arrivals. According to these metrics, we find that the proportions of editor types in the new cohort are similar those observed in the sample of dedicated contributors. The number of new editors playing helpful roles in a single month's cohort nearly equal the number found in the dedicated sample. This suggests that informal socialization has the potential provide sufficient role related labor despite growth and change in Wikipedia. These results are preliminary, and we describe several ways that the method can be improved, including the expansion and refinement of role signatures and identification of other important social roles.	0	4

From encyclopedia Britannica to Wikipedia: Generational differences in the perceived credibility of online encyclopedia information	Andrew J. Flanagin Miriam J. Metzger			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, children 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 Wikipedia 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 Britannica. The practical and theoretical implications of these results are discussed.	0	0

Gender differences in Wikipedia editing	Judd Antin Raymond Yee Coye Cheshire Oded Nov	Wikipedia Gender Participation	WikiSym	English	As Wikipedia has become an indispensable source of online information, concerns about who writes, edits, and maintains it have come to the forefront. In particular, the 2010 UNU-MERIT survey found evidence of a significant gender skew: fewer than 13% of Wikipedia contributors are women. However, the number of contributors is just one way to examine gender differences in contribution. In this paper we take a more fine-grained perspective by examining how much and what types of Wiki-work men and women tend to do. First, we find that the so-called “Gender Gap” in number of editors may not be as wide as prior studies have suggested. Second, although more than 80% of editors in our sample were men, among the bottom 75% of editors by activity level, we find that men and women made similar numbers of revisions. However, among the most active Wikipedians men tended to make many more revisions than women. Finally, we find that the most active women in our sample tended to make larger revisions than the most active men. We conclude by discussing directions for future research.	0	0
Geo-Wiki: An online platform for improving global land cover	Steffen Fritz Ian McCallum Christian Schill Christoph Perger Linda See Dmitry Schepaschenko Marijn van der Velde Florian Kraxner Michael Obersteiner			English	Land cover derived from remotely sensed products is an important input to a number of different global, regional and national scale applications including resource assessments and economic land use models. During the last decade three global land cover datasets have been created, i.e. the GLC-2000, MODIS and GlobCover, but comparison studies have shown that there are large spatial discrepancies between these three products. One of the reasons for these discrepancies is the lack of sufficient in-situ data for the development of these products. To address this issue, a crowdsourcing tool called Geo-Wiki has been developed. Geo-Wiki has two main aims: to increase the amount of in-situ land cover data available for training, calibration and validation, and to create a hybrid global land cover map that provides more accurate land cover information than any current individual product. This paper outlines the components that comprise Geo-Wiki and how they are integrated in the architectural design. An overview of the main functionality of Geo-Wiki is then provided along with the current usage statistics and the lessons learned to date, in particular the need to add a mechanism for feedback and interaction as part of community building, and the need to address issues of data quality. The tool is located at geo-wiki.org.	0	0

Hackers, Cyborgs, and Wikipedians: The Political Economy and Cultural History of Wikipedia	Andrew A. Famiglietti	Wikipedia Peer Production Cultural Studies New Media Political Economy		English	This dissertation explores the political economy and cultural history of Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. It demonstrates how Wikipedia, an influential and popular site of knowledge production and distribution, was influenced by its heritage from the hacker communities of the late twentieth century. More specifically, Wikipedia was shaped by an ideal I call, “the cyborg individual,” which held that the production of knowledge was best entrusted to a widely distributed network of individual human subjects and individually owned computers. I trace how this ideal emerged from hacker culture in response to anxieties hackers experienced due to their intimate relationships with machines. I go on to demonstrate how this ideal influenced how Wikipedia was understood both those involved in the early history of the site, and those writing about it. In particular, legal scholar Yochai Benkler seems to base his understanding of Wikipedia and its strengths on the cyborg individual ideal. Having established this, I then move on to show how the cyborg individual ideal misunderstands Wikipedia's actual method of production. Most importantly, it overlooks the importance of how the boundaries drawn around communities and shared technological resources shape Wikipedia's content. I then proceed to begin the process of building what I believe is a better way of understanding Wikipedia, by tracing how communities and shared resources shape the production of recent Wikipedia articles.	70	0

Hot off the Wiki: Dynamics, Practices, and Structures in Wikipedia’s Coverage of the Tōhoku Catastrophes	Brian Keegan Darren Gergle Darren Contractor	Wikipedia Breaking news Current events Network analysis Bipartite network Emergent group High tempo Collaboration	WikiSym	English	Wikipedia editors are uniquely motivated to collaborate around current and breaking news events. However, the speed, urgency, and intensity with which these collaborations unfold also impose a substantial burden on editors’ abilities to effectively coordinate tasks and process information. We analyze the patterns of activity on Wikipedia following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami to understand the dynamics of editor attention and participation, novel practices employed to collaborate on these articles, and the resulting coauthorship structures which emerge between editors and articles. Our findings have implications for supporting future coverage of breaking news articles, theorizing about motivations to participate in online community, and illuminating Wikipedia’s potential role in storing cultural memories of catastrophe.	0	0

We show that editors with varying degrees of engagement and from peripheral as well as central roles all act like leaders, but that core and peripheral editors show different profiles of leadership behavior. Specifically, we developed machine learning models to automatically identify four types of leadership behaviors from 4 million messages sent between Wikipedia editors. We found strong evidence of shared leadership in Wikipedia, with editors in peripheral roles producing a large proportion of leadership behaviors.	4	1

Information quality assessment of community generated content: A user study of Wikipedia	Eti Yaari Shifra Baruchson-Arbib Judit Bar-Ilan		Journal of Information Science	English	This study examines the ways in which information consumers evaluate the quality of content in a collaborative-writing environment, in this case Wikipedia. Sixty-four users were asked to assess the quality of five articles from the Hebrew Wikipedia, to indicate the highest- and lowest-quality article of the five and explain their choices. Participants viewed both the article page, and the article’s history page, so that their decision was based both on the article’s current content and on its development. The analysis shows that the attributes that most frequently assisted the users in deciding about the quality of the items were not unique to Wikipedia: attributes such as amount of information, satisfaction with content and external links were mentioned frequently, as with other information quality studies on the web. The findings also support the claim that quality is a subjective concept which depends on the user’s unique point of view. Attributes such as number of edits and number of unique editors received two contradictory meanings – both few edits/editors and many edits/editors were mentioned as attributes of high-quality articles.	0	0
Inquiry Resources Collection as a Boundary Object Supporting Meaningful Collaboration in a Wiki-Based Scientist-Teacher Community	Hye Kim Bruce Herbert		Journal of Science Education and Technology	English	Different interpretations of scientific inquiry exist between the two different communities of scientists and science teachers. Thus, in order to achieve a successful partnership between science teachers and scientists in establishing effective communities of practice, the framework for instructional practice in teacher professional development needs to be carefully designed. To respond to this challenge, we developed the Inquiry Resources Collection (IRC), which offers a wiki-based inquiry resource collection developed by scientists to support novice science teachers’ inquiry lesson design. The collaborative managing and sharing of knowledge in a professional development program via a wiki environment is the key to developing a practical resource for novice teachers teaching scientific inquiry. Based on our reflection of data gathered during 4 years of our project, we invoked the ideas of boundary objects and reflective apprenticeship between scientists and teachers to design the IRC.	0	0

Integrating Wiki Systems, Natural Language Processing, and Semantic Technologies for Cultural Heritage Data Management Language Technology for Cultural Heritage	René Witte Thomas Kappler Ralf Krestel Peter C. Lockemann			English	Modern documents can easily be structured and augmented to have the characteristics of a semantic knowledge base. Many older documents may also hold a trove of knowledge that would deserve to be organized as such a knowledge base. In this chapter, we show that modern semantic technologies offer the means to make these heritage documents accessible by transforming them into a semantic knowledge base. Using techniques from natural language processing and Semantic Computing, we automatically populate an ontology. Additionally, all content is made accessible in a user-friendly Wiki interface, combining original text with NLP-derived metadata and adding annotation capabilities for collaborative use. All these functions are combined into a single, cohesive system architecture that addresses the different requirements from end users, software engineering aspects, and knowledge discovery paradigms. The ideas were implemented and tested with a volume from the historic Encyclopedia of Architecture and a number of different user groups.	0	0

Interlinking journal and wiki publications through joint citation: Working examples from ZooKeys and Plazi on Species-ID	Lyubomir Penev Gregor Hagedorn Daniel Mietchen Teodor Georgiev Pavel Stoev Guido Sautter Donat Agosti Andreas Plank Michael Balke Lars Hendrich Terry Erwin		ZooKeys	English	Scholarly publishing and citation practices have developed largely in the absence of versioned documents. The digital age requires new practices to combine the old and the new. We describe how the original published source and a versioned wiki page based on it can be reconciled and combined into a single citation reference. We illustrate the citation mechanism by way of practical examples focusing on journal and wiki publishing of taxon treatments. Specifically, we discuss mechanisms for permanent cross-linking between the static original publication and the dynamic, versioned wiki, as well as for automated export of journal content to the wiki, to reduce the workload on authors, for combining the journal and the wiki citation and for integrating it with the attribution of wiki contributors.	9	0

La dimensió de les llengües a la Wikipedia i la seua relació amb els elements socials	Borja Pellejero Natxo Sorolla Marina Nogué	Wikipedia Digital language community Catalan CRUSCAT IEC	Digithum	Catalan	There would seem to be a contradiction in the fact that Catalan should have a Wikipedia with a similar number of pages to that in Chinese. There are fewer than ten million Catalan speakers, and they were marginalised in their own land for a long time, but they have still been able to produce content on the internet that in some cases matches that of China, a world economic superpower with nearly one billion Chinese speakers. Though it should be noted that the situation is not the same in China as it is in those places where Catalan is spoken. This article offers an initial look at the social, educational, technological, economic and demographic factors linked to a language’s position in the ranking of number of Wikipedia articles. This analysis is based on one key concept, that of the digital language community, and the observation that Catalan’s position on the internet is not due to the activism of its speakers, but to a position that resembles that of any other medium-sized language community. Hi ha un aparent contrasentit en el fet que el català tinga a la Wikipedia un nombre d’articles similar al xinès. Una comunitat que no arriba a deu milions de catalanoparlants, llargament minoritzada al propi territori, pot arribar a tenir una capacitat de producció a internet que en alguns casos és assimilable a la de la Xina, que, amb prop de mil milions de parlants de xinès, és una superpotència econòmica mundial. Els més àvids matisaran que la situació no és la mateixa a la Xina que als territoris de llengua catalana. Aquest text vol fer una primera aproximació a quins són aquests factors socials, educatius, tecnològics, econòmics i demogràfics que estan relacionats amb la posició d’una llengua en el rànquing del nombre d’articles a la Wikipedia. D’aquesta anàlisi naix un concepte clau, el de la comunitat lingüística digital, i l’observació que la posició del català en el món d’internet no es deu a un pretès activisme dels seus parlants, sinó més aviat a una posició força semblant a la d’altres comunitats lingüístiques de demografia mitjana.	8	0

Learning-Oriented Assessment of Wiki Contributions: How to Assess Wiki Contributions in a Higher Education Learning Setting	Emilio J. Rodríguez-Posada Juan Manuel Dodero-Beardo Manuel Palomo-Duarte Inmaculada Medina-Bulo	Computer-supported collaborative learning Wiki E-Learning assessment	International Conference on Computer Supported Education	English	Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning based on wikis offers new ways of collaboration and encourages participation. When the number of contributions from students increases, traditional assessment procedures of e-learning settings suffer from scalability problems. In a wiki-based learning experience, some automatic tools are required to support the assessment of such great amounts of data. We have studied readily available analysis tools for the MediaWiki platform, that have complementary input, work modes and output. We comment our experience in two Higher Education courses, one using HistoryFlow and another using StatMediaWiki, and discuss the advantages and drawbacks of each system.	0	0
Legitimizing Wikipedia: how U.S. national newspapers frame and use the online encyclopedia in their coverage	Marcus Messner Jeff South		Journalism Practice	English	Within only a few years, the collaborative online encyclopedia Wikipedia has become one of the most popular websites in the world. At the same time, Wikipedia has become the subject of much controversy because of inaccuracies and hoaxes found in some of its entries. Journalists, therefore, have remained skeptical about the reliability and accuracy of Wikipedia’s information, despite the fact that research has consistently shown an overall high level of accuracy compared to traditional encyclopedia. This study analyzed the framing of Wikipedia and its use as a news source by five U.S. national newspapers over an eight-year period. A content analysis of 1486 Wikipedia references in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today and The Christian Science Monitor found that Wikipedia is framed predominantly neutral and positive, and that it is increasingly used as a news source. By framing Wikipedia as credible and accurate, the newspapers help legitimize the use of the online encyclopedia. By allowing Wikipedia to influence their news agendas as a source, the newspapers confirm the growing reliability of Wikipedia.	0	1

Link Spamming Wikipedia for Profit	Andrew G. West Jian Chang Krishna Venkatasubramanian Oleg Sokolsky Insup Lee	Web 2.0 spam Spam Wikipedia Wiki Collaborative security Attack model Measurement study Spam economics	CEAS '11: Proc. of the 8th Annual Collaboration, Electronic Messaging, Anti-Abuse, and Spam Conference	English	Collaborative functionality is an increasingly prevalent web technology. To encourage participation, these systems usually have low barriers-to-entry and permissive privileges. Unsurprisingly, ill-intentioned users try to leverage these characteristics for nefarious purposes. In this work, a particular abuse is examined -- link spamming -- the addition of promotional or otherwise inappropriate hyperlinks. Our analysis focuses on the wiki model and the collaborative encyclopedia, Wikipedia, in particular. A principal goal of spammers is to maximize *exposure*, the quantity of people who view a link. Creating and analyzing the first Wikipedia link spam corpus, we find that existing spam strategies perform quite poorly in this regard. The status quo spamming model relies on link persistence to accumulate exposures, a strategy that fails given the diligence of the Wikipedia community. Instead, we propose a model that exploits the latency inherent in human anti-spam enforcement. Statistical estimation suggests our novel model would produce significantly more link exposures than status quo techniques. More critically, the strategy could prove economically viable for perpetrators, incentivizing its exploitation. To this end, we address mitigation strategies.	0	0

Linking NCBI to Wikipedia: a wiki-based approach	Roderic D. Page			English	The NCBI Taxonomy underpins many bioinformatics and phyloinformatics databases, but by itself provides limited information on the taxa it contains. One readily available source of information on many taxa is Wikipedia. This paper describes iPhylo Linkout, a Semantic wiki that maps taxa in NCBI's taxonomy database onto corresponding pages in Wikipedia. Storing the mapping in a wiki makes it easy to edit, correct, or otherwise annotate the links between NCBI and Wikipedia. The mapping currently comprises some 53,000 taxa, and is available at http://iphylo.org/linkout. The links between NCBI and Wikipedia are also made available to NCBI users through the NCBI LinkOut service.	0	0

Measuring Hyperlink Distances: Wikipedia Case Study	Rodrigo Rodrigues Paim Daniel Ratton Figueiredo	Hyperlink analysis Hyperlink distance Document similarity Wikipedia	WebSci Conference	English	Hyperlinks are a fundamental aspect of the Web, as they play a major role in accomplishing important functions such as document clustering and document ranking. Despite various facets of hyperlink analysis, in this work we consider a novel aspect of hyperlinks, namely their distance. How far in terms of contextual similarity will a hyperlink take you? We consider classical distance functions that capture the similarity between documents as well as propose a new distance function, an IDF-based generalization of Jaccard distance. We characterize the distance distribution of hyperlinks considering Wikipedia as a case study. Our results indicate that hyperlink distances are strongly skewed, with the majority of hyperlinks exhibiting very long distances.	0	0

Mining the Gene Wiki for functional genomic knowledge	Benjamin M. Good Douglas G. Howe Simon M. Lin Warren A. Kibbe Andrew I. Su		BMC genomics	English	Ontology-based gene annotations are important tools for organizing and analyzing genome-scale biological data. Collecting these annotations is a valuable but costly endeavor. The Gene Wiki makes use of Wikipedia as a low-cost, mass-collaborative platform for assembling text-based gene annotations. The Gene Wiki is comprised of more than 10,000 review articles, each describing one human gene. The goal of this study is to define and assess a computational strategy for translating the text of Gene Wiki articles into ontology-based gene annotations. We specifically explore the generation of structured annotations using the Gene Ontology and the Human Disease Ontology. RESULTS: Our system produced 2,983 candidate gene annotations using the Disease Ontology and 11,022 candidate annotations using the Gene Ontology from the text of the Gene Wiki. Based on manual evaluations and comparisons to reference annotation sets, we estimate a precision of 90-93% for the Disease Ontology annotations and 48-64% for the Gene Ontology annotations. We further demonstrate that this data set can systematically improve the results from gene set enrichment analyses. The Gene Wiki is a rapidly growing corpus of text focused on human gene function. Here, we demonstrate that the Gene Wiki can be a powerful resource for generating ontology-based gene annotations. These annotations can be used immediately to improve workflows for building curated gene annotation databases and knowledge-based statistical analyses.	0	0

Model of Wikipedia growth based on information exchange via reciprocal arcs	V. Zlatić H. Štefančić		EPL (Europhysics Letters)	English	We show how reciprocal arcs significantly influence the structural organization of Wikipedias, online encyclopedias. It is shown that random addition of reciprocal arcs in the static network cannot explain the observed reciprocity of Wikipedias. A model of Wikipedia growth based on preferential attachment and on information exchange via reciprocal arcs is presented. An excellent agreement between in-degree distributions of our model and real Wikipedia networks is achieved without fitting the distributions, but by merely extracting a small number of model parameters from the measurement of real networks.	0	1
Modelling Provenance of DBpedia Resources Using Wikipedia Contributions	Fabrizio Orlandi Alexandre Passant	Provenance Linked data DBpedia Wikipedia	Web Semantics: Science, Services and Agents on the World Wide Web	English	DBpedia is one of the largest datasets in the Linked Open Data cloud. Its centrality and its cross-domain nature makes it one of the most important and most referred to knowledge bases on the Web of Data, generally used as a reference for data interlinking.Yet, in spite of its authoritative aspect, there is no work so far tackling the provenance aspect of DBpedia statements. By being extracted from Wikipedia, an open and collaborative encyclopedia, delivering provenance information about it would help to ensure trustworthiness of its data, a major need for people using DBpedia data for building applications.To overcome this problem, we propose an approach for modelling and managing provenance on DBpedia using Wikipedia edits, and making this information available on the Web of Data. In this paper, we describe the framework that we implemented to do so, consisting in (1) a lightweight modelling solution to semantically represent provenance of both DBpedia resources and Wikipedia content, along with mappings to popular ontologies such as the W7 — what, when, where, how, who, which, and why — and OPM — Open Provenance Model — models, (2) an information extraction process and a provenance-computation system combining Wikipedia articles’ history with DBpedia information, (3) a set of scripts to make provenance information about DBpedia statements directly available when browsing this source, as well as being publicly exposed in RDF for letting software agents consume it.	0	0
Multilingual Ontology Matching based on Wiktionary Data Accessible via SPARQL Endpoint	Feiyu Lin Andrew Krizhanovsky		Proceedings of the 13th Russian Conference on Digital Libraries RCDL’2011	English	Interoperability is a feature required by the Semantic Web. It is provided by the ontology matching methods and algorithms. But now ontologies are presented not only in English, but in other languages as well. It is important to use an automatic translation for obtaining correct matching pairs in multilingual ontology matching. The translation into many languages could be based on the Google Translate API, the Wiktionary database, etc. From the point of view of the balance of presence of many languages, of manually crafted translations, of a huge size of a dictionary, the most promising resource is the Wiktionary. It is a collaborative project working on the same principles as the Wikipedia. The parser of the Wiktionary was developed and the machine-readable dictionary was designed. The data of the machine-readable Wiktionary are stored in a relational database, but with the help of D2R server the database is presented as an RDF store. Thus, it is possible to get lexicographic information (definitions, translations, synonyms) from web service using SPARQL requests. In the case study, the problem entity is a task of multilingual ontology matching based on Wiktionary data accessible via SPARQL endpoint. Ontology matching results obtained using Wiktionary were compared with results based on Google Translate API.	5	0
Multilingual Vandalism Detection using Language-Independent & Ex Post Facto Evidence	Andrew G. West Insup Lee		PAN-CLEF	English	There is much literature on Wikipedia vandalism detection. However, this writing addresses two facets given little treatment to date. First, prior efforts emphasize zero-delay detection, classifying edits the moment they are made. If classification can be delayed (e.g., compiling offline distributions), it is possible to leverage ex post facto evidence. This work describes/evaluates several features of this type, which we find to be overwhelmingly strong vandalism indicators. Second, English Wikipedia has been the primary test-bed for research. Yet, Wikipedia has 200+ language editions and use of localized features impairs portability. This work implements an extensive set of language-independent indicators and evaluates them using three corpora (German, English, Spanish). The work then extends to include language-specific signals. Quantifying their performance benefit, we find that such features can moderately increase classifier accuracy, but significant effort and language fluency are required to capture this utility. Aside from these novel aspects, this effort also broadly addresses the task, implementing 65 total features. Evaluation produces 0.840 PR-AUC on thezero-delay task and 0.906 PR-AUC with ex post facto evidence (averaging languages). Performance matches the state-of-the-art (English), sets novel baselines (German, Spanish), and is validated by a first-place finish over the 2011 PAN-CLEF test set.	0	0

My kind of people?: perceptions about Wikipedia contributors and their motivations	Judd Antin		Proceedings of the 2011 annual conference on Human factors in computing systems	English	Perceptions of information products such as Wikipedia can depend on assumptions and stereotypes about the people who create them. As new Wikipedians consider contributing they are likely to apply such assumptions and ask themselves: "Are Wikipedia contributors my kind of people? Is this a group I'd like to belong to?" In this qualitative study I address the potential challenge of these questions by exploring readers and infrequent editors' perceptions of Wikipedia contributors and their motivations. Through analysis of twenty semi-structured interviews, I find evidence of strong negative perceptions as well as positive ones which nonetheless prevent users from identifying with active Wikipedia contributors. I argue that these perceptions present a barrier to the progression of participation over time. I conclude by discussing the practical challenges of my findings for Wikipedia and other online collaborative systems.	14	0
Need to categorize: A comparative look at the categories of the Universal Decimal Classification system (UDC) and Wikipedia	Almila Akdag Salah Cheng Gao Krzysztof Suchecki Andrea Scharnhorst			English	This study analyzes the differences between the category structure of the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) system (which is one of the widely used library classification systems in Europe) and Wikipedia. In particular, we compare the emerging structure of category-links to the structure of classes in the UDC. With this comparison we would like to scrutinize the question of how do knowledge maps of the same domain differ when they are created socially (i.e. Wikipedia) as opposed to when they are created formally (UDC) using classification theory. As a case study, we focus on the category of "Arts".	3	0

Posibilidades de Wikipedia en la docencia universitaria: elaboración colaborativa de conocimiento	Tomás Saorín-Pérez María Verónica de Haro de San Mateo Juan-Antonio Pastor-Sánchez	Information literacy Wikipedia Active learning strategies Research methods Production of scientific works	IBERSID	Spanish	A guide for Wikipedia student edition as a collaborative active learning activity is presented. Whereas the use of wikis in the classroom is widely documented, the educational possibilities of Wikipedia itself are not so much. We offer a classification of participatory activities suitable for being carried out by the students in the development of the curricular contents. One of the most relevant aspects is the transformation of the critical and distrustful speech towards the Wikipedia in a direct knowledge of its scope, process of production and systems of quality control. In addition, it is a good opportunity to improve a widespread source of information among university undergraduates that has a real impact and for the students to develop a more critical and active use of information sources.	0	0

Processos editoriais auto-organizados na Wikipédia em português: a edição colaborativa de "Biografias de Pessoas Vivas"	Carlos Frederico de Brito d’Andréa	Wikipedia Edition Rewritting Colaboration Self-organization Complexity		Portuguese	This dissertation maps and analyzes the dynamics of editions in a sample of articles of the Portuguese version of Wikipedia. We identify and discuss the self-organized and collaborative processes in its editorial network, as well as how the editors rewrite the articles over time. This research begins with conceptual considerations about the “encyclopedia that anyone can edit”, focusing on trends of the Portuguese version and specifically on the “Biographies of Living People”, which are characterized by the possibility of including, “in real time”, factual information about the life and work of influent people. The theoretical framework is composed by authors from different areas. In Text Linguistics, we discuss the concepts of text (BEAUGRANDE, 1997; COSCARELLI, 2006), textuality (COSTA VAL, 2004), retextualization and rewritting (DELL’ISOLA, 2007; MARCUSCHI, 2000; MATENCIO, 2002). Besides that, we discuss the editorial processes and professional activities (like copy editing) in the “production networks” of books and encyclopedias, especially after the use of digital technologies. In chapter 3, we discuss the networked editorial production based on the internet and inspired in “hacker culture” and “open source softwares”. In this context, the most important concepts are “commonbased peer production” (BENKLER, 2006), “The Wisdom of Crowds” (SUROWIECKI, 2007), “produsage” (BRUNS, 2008), “virtual community” e “crowdsourcing” (HAYTHORNTHWAITE, 2009). We also present the relationships between this new model and traditional editorial processes, like “networked book” and “wiki-journalism”. After that, we relate networked editorial production with complexity paradigm and discuss Wikipedia as a complex adaptive system (HOLLAND, 1995; LARSEN-FREEMAN e CAMERON, 2008) that, potentially, works in a self-organized and emergent dynamics (DEBRUN, 1996a, 1996b; DE WOLF e HOLVOET, 2005). The empirical study of this thesis is based in 91 “Biographies of Living People” about most influential Brazilian personalities in the year of 2009 according two national magazines (“Época” and “Isto É”). In the quantitative phase of this work, we extracted data in articles history pages using a software (WikipediAnalyserPT) developed for this research. After making statistical analyses, we compared the edition processes of these articles using variables as “total of editions”, “editions made by groups of editors” (registered, non-registered, administrators and bots), “protections”, “reversions” etc. At the qualitative stage, we detail the dynamics of edition of five of articles and analyze the rewrittings of the texts and the interactions between the editors. Three articles were chosen because the “key variables” are very similar: the biographies of “Franklin Martins” (a journalist that worked in president Lula's government), “Kátia Abreu” (a senator known for defending owners of very large land areas) and “Ricardo Teixeira” (a president of the Brazilian Football Confederation). After that, we analyze the dynamics of two of the most edited articles of the sample: the biographies about the famous soccer players "Adriano Leite Ribeiro" (nicknamed "The Emperor") and "Ronaldo Nazario of Lima (also known as "The Phenomenon"). In the three intermediate articles, we identified a relative stability (caused by a few number of editions monthly) interspersed with short periods of time with more editions and disputes. We also observed that a few editors made almost all the “important” editions. In the two more edited biographies, we noticed an uninterrupted movement of the editors, hundreds of vandalisms and many war editions. Although also in these articles only a few editions are preserved, we identify an “emergence” pattern characterized by disputes that encourage the collaboration among agents. At the conclusion, we discuss the possibilities and challenges of a “wikification” of editorial processes.	60	0

PukiWiki-Java Connector, a simple API for saving data of Java programs on a wiki	Takashi Yamanoue Kentaro Oda Koichi Shimozono	Java applets Collaboration Data store API Social coding	WikiSym	English	Experimental implementation of SDK for Java programs, PukiWiki-Java Connector, which makes an illusion that wiki pages as persistent data store, is shown. A Java program of them can be running on a wiki page and it can save its data on the page. The Java program consists of PukiWiki which is a popular wiki in Japan, the plug-in which starts up Java Applets. .A Java Applet with default access privilege cannot store its data at the local host. We have constructed the API for the applets to ease data persistent at a remote host. We also combined the API and the wiki system by introducing a wiki plugin and tags for starting up Java Applets. Applet generated persistent data resides in wiki texts side by side. We have successfully ported useful programs such as a simple text editor, a simple music editor, a simple draw program and programming environments in a PukiWiki system using this connector.	2	3
Quality Evaluation of Wikipedia Articles through Edit History and Editor Groups Web Technologies and Applications	Se Wang Mizuho Iwaihara			English	Wikipedia is well known as a free encyclopedia, which is a type of collaborative repository system that allows the viewer to create and edit articles directly in the web browser. The weakness of the Wikipedia system is the possibility of manipulation and vandalism cannot be ruled out, so that the quality of any given Wikipedia article is not guaranteed. It is an important work to establish a quality evaluation method to help users decide how much they should trust an article in Wikipedia. In this paper we investigate the edit history of Wikipedia articles and propose a model of network structure of editors. We propose an algorithm to calculate the network structural indicator restoreratio. We use the proposed indicator combined with existing metrics to predict the quality of Wikipedia articles through support vector machine technology. The experimental results show that the proposed indicator has better performance in quality evaluation than several existing metrics.	0	0

Quality of information sources about mental disorders: a comparison of Wikipedia with centrally controlled web and printed sources	N. J. Reavley A. J. Mackinnon A. J. Morgan M. Alvarez-Jimenez S. E. Hetrick E. Killackey B. Nelson R. Purcell M. B. Yap A. F. Jorm		Psychological medicine	English	BACKGROUND: Although mental health information on the internet is often of poor quality, relatively little is known about the quality of websites, such as Wikipedia, that involve participatory information sharing. The aim of this paper was to explore the quality of user-contributed mental health-related information on Wikipedia and compare this with centrally controlled information sources.MethodContent on 10 mental health-related topics was extracted from 14 frequently accessed websites (including Wikipedia) providing information about depression and schizophrenia, Encyclopaedia Britannica, and a psychiatry textbook. The content was rated by experts according to the following criteria: accuracy, up-to-dateness, breadth of coverage, referencing and readability. RESULTS: Ratings varied significantly between resources according to topic. Across all topics, Wikipedia was the most highly rated in all domains except readability. CONCLUSIONS: The quality of information on depression and schizophrenia on Wikipedia is generally as good as, or better than, that provided by centrally controlled websites, Encyclopaedia Britannica and a psychiatry textbook.	0	1

Redundancy and collaboration in Wikibooks	Ilaria Liccardi Olivier Chapuis Ching-Man Au Yeung Wendy Mackay	Collaborative writing Coordination mechanisms Text redundancy	INTERACT	English	This paper investigates how Wikibooks authors collaborate to create high-quality books. We combined Information Retrieval and statistical techniques to examine the complete multi-year lifecycle of over 50 high-quality Wikibooks. We found that: 1. The presence of redundant material is negatively correlated with collaboration mechanisms; 2. For most books, over 50\% of the content is written by a small core of authors; and 3. Use of collaborative tools (predicted pages and talk pages) is significantly correlated with patterns of redundancy. Non-redundant books are well-planned from the beginning and require fewer talk pages to reach high-quality status. Initially redundant books begin with high redundancy, which drops as soon as authors use coordination tools to restructure the content. Suddenly redundant books display sudden bursts of redundancy that must be resolved, requiring significantly more discussion to reach high-quality status. These findings suggest that providing core authors with effective tools for visualizing and removing redundant material may increase writing speed and improve the book's ultimate quality.	12	0
Reference Blindness: The Influence of References on Trust in Wikipedia	Teun Lucassen Matthijs L. Noordzij Jan Maarten Schraagen		WebSci Conference	English	In this study we show the influence of references on trust in information. We changed the contents of reference lists of Wikipedia articles in such a way that the new references were no longer in any sense related to the topic of the article. Furthermore, the length of the reference list was varied. College students were asked to evaluate the credibility of these articles. Only 6 out of 23 students noticed the manipulation of the references; 9 out of 23 students noticed the variations in length. These numbers are remarkably low, as 17 students indicated they considered references an important indicator of credibility. The findings suggest a highly heuristic manner of credibility evaluation. Systematic evaluation behavior was also observed in the experiment, but only of participants with low trust in Wikipedia in general.	7	0

Retratos da colaboração e da segmentação na Wikimedia: Especificidades dos wikilivros Judaísmo e Civilização Egípcia	Luana Teixeira de Souza Cruz			Portuguese	A colaboração constitui essencialmente a estrutura daWeb 2.0, também conhecida como web colaborativa. Um importante conceito da geração Web 2.0 está implícito nas plataformas e nos modos de produção wiki. São ferramentas de construção do conhecimento online, que permitem a participação de qualquer pessoa em estágios variados do processo colaborativo. Os projetos Wikipedia e Wikilivros da Wikimedia Foundation, por exemplo, configuram espaços de interação, lugares de fala, onde os agentes expressam individualidades, muitas vezes com o intuito cooperativo de melhoria da qualidade dos livros. O que permite a lógica de funcionamento destas plataformas é a formação de uma rede de usuários interconectados, de diversas maneiras, dentro de um emaranhado de laços. Estes integram, em alguns casos, como se discute aqui, desenvolvimentos colaborativos nos projetos Wikilivros e Wikipedia. Buscando compreender como se configura a colaboração no ambiente da Wikimedia Foundation, este artigo discute de que modo os perfis editoriais do projeto Wikilivros segmentam redes sociais e como essas redes sociais transitam pela Wikimedia, uma vez que os projetos wiki são densamente interconectados. A questão é averiguada no wikilivro em desenvolvimento “Judaísmo” em comparação ao já completado wikilivro “Civilização Egípcia”. A análise comparativa enfatiza a importância da interdepêndencia entre os usuários para a configuração de redes compostas por laços, cuja força se baseia na produção colaborativa dos wikilivros.	0	0

Self-Governance Through Group Discussion in Wikipedia: Measuring Deliberation in Online Groups	Laura W. Black Howard T. Welser Dan Cosley Jocelyn M. DeGroot		Small Group Research	English	Virtual teams and other online groups can find it challenging to establish norms that allow them to effectively balance task and relational aspects of their discussions. Yet, in our reliance on organizational and team theories, small group scholars have overlooked the potential for learning from examples offered by online communities.Theories of deliberation in small groups offer scholars a way to assess such discussion-centered self-governance in online groups.The study operationalizes the conceptual definition of deliberative discussion offered by Gastil and Black (2008) to examine the small group discussions that undergird policy-making processes in a well-established online community, Wikipedia. Content analysis shows that these discussions demonstrated a relatively high level of problem analysis and providing of information, but results were mixed in the group’s demonstration of respect, consideration, and mutual comprehension. Network visualizations reveal structural patterns that can be useful in examining equality, influence, and group member roles. The combination of measures has implications for future research in deliberative discussion and virtual teamwork.	0	0

Semi-automatic enrichment of crowdsourced synonymy networks: the WISIGOTH system applied to Wiktionary	Franck Sajous Emmanuel Navarro Bruno Gaume Laurent Prévot Yannick Chudy		Language Resources and Evaluation	English	Semantic lexical resources are a mainstay of various Natural Language Processing applications. However, comprehensive and reliable resources are rare and not often freely available. Handcrafted resources are too costly for being a general solution while automatically-built resources need to be validated by experts or at least thoroughly evaluated. We propose in this paper a picture of the current situation with regard to lexical resources, their building and their evaluation. We give an in-depth description of Wiktionary, a freely available and collaboratively built multilingual dictionary. Wiktionary is presented here as a promising raw resource for NLP. We propose a semi-automatic approach based on random walks for enriching Wiktionary synonymy network that uses both endogenous and exogenous data. We take advantage of the wiki infrastructure to propose a validation “by crowds”. Finally, we present an implementation called WISIGOTH, which supports our approach.	7	0

Social networks of Wikipedia	Paolo Massa	Wikipedia Wiki Social network Empirical analysis Open source	Hypertext	English	Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia anyone can edit, is a live social experiment: millions of individuals volunteer their knowledge and time to collective create it. It is hence interesting trying to understand how they do it. While most of the attention concentrated on article pages, a less known share of activities happen on user talk pages, Wikipedia pages where a message can be left for the specific user. This public conversations can be studied from a Social Network Analysis perspective in order to highlight the structure of the “talk” network. In this paper we focus on this preliminary extraction step by proposing different algorithms. We then empirically validate the differences in the networks they generate on the Venetian Wikipedia with the real network of conversations extracted manually by coding every message left on all user talk pages. The comparisons show that both the algorithms and the manual process contain inaccuracies that are intrinsic in the freedom and unpredictability of Wikipedia growth. Nevertheless, a precise description of the involved issues allows to make informed decisions and to base empirical findings on reproducible evidence. Our goal is to lay the foundation for a solid computational sociology of wikis. For this reason we release the scripts encoding our algorithms as open source and also some datasets extracted out of Wikipedia conversations, in order to let other researchers replicate and improve our initial effort.	14	2

Sustainable multilingual communication: Managing multilingual content using free and open source content management systems	Todd Kelsey			English	It is often too complicated or expensive for most educators, non-profits and individuals to create and maintain a multilingual Web site, because of the technological hurdles, and the logistics of working with content in different languages. But multilingual content management systems, combined with streamlined processes and inexpensive organizational tools, make it possible for educators, non-profit entities and individuals with limited resources to develop sustainable and accessible multilingual Web sites. The research included a review of what's been done in the theory and practice of designing Web sites for multilingual audiences. On the basis of that review, a series of sustainable multilingual Web sites were created, and a series of approaches and systems were tested, including MediaWiki, Plone, Drupal, Joomla, PHPMyFAQ, Blogger, Google Docs and Google Sites. There was also a case study on "Social CMS", which refers to emergent social networks such as Facebook. The case studies are reported on, and conclude with high-level recommendations that form a roadmap for sustainable multilingual Web site development. The basic conclusion is that Drupal is a recommended system for developing a multilingual Web site, based on a variety of factors. Google Sites is also a recommended system, based on the fact that it is free, easy to use, and very flexible.	9	0

The Negotiation of Contributions in Public Wikis	Anne Goldenberg			French	Les wikis sont des sites hypertextuels éditables dont chaque modification est publiquement consignée. L'usage de ces artefacts s'est notamment répandu pour de grands projets de production de connaissances (encyclopédie, documentation en ligne). Dès lors, les participants doivent s'organiser pour surveiller et discuter de ce qui constitue une contribution. Nous avons d'abord réalisé une enquête par questionnaires en ligne autour du concept de contribution suivi d'entretiens qualitatifs menés auprès des participants à trois wikis publics1. Ceux-ci l'ont défini comme une activité de production de connaissances, en tension entre intérêt personnel et collectif, besoin de reconnaissance et disposition d'anonymat et dont les principes de pertinence sont régulièrement discutées. Ces mises en débat semblent structurantes dans la mesure où les contributeurs et contributrices parviennent à distinguer ce qui relève d'une dispute sociale ou d'un débat d'ordre épistémique (relatif aux connaissances). L'usage de wikis publics dans une perspective épistémique amène les contributeurs à faire face à deux contradictions : L'ouverture à la contribution publique entre en tension avec le besoin de valider les connaissances diffusées. La participation du plus grand nombre est mise au défi par l'établissement de conventions sociales qui complexifient l'adhésion au projet. Que révèle l'étude de la négociation des contributions au regard des problèmes de justesse et de justice propre aux wikis publics ? Une analyse plus poussée de la gestion des désaccords dans les trois communautés étudiées a bien permis de relever une violence latente malgré les conventions sociales et épistémiques en place. Mais l'étude a aussi revélé l'importance du rôle des participant investis dans l'organisation, la mise en relation et la contextualisation des interventions. L'émergence d'une culture de la contribution serait ainsi tributaire d'une responsabilisation vis-à-vis des enjeux politiques et épistémiques impliqués dans la production participative de connaissances.	0	0

The sociology of critique in Wikipedia	Mathieu O'Neil		CSPP	English	This paper presents a new conceptual framework for the analysis of authority in anti-authoritarian environments. Legitimate domination in commons-based peer production projects such as Wikipedia rests on two main principles: the extraordinary qualities of charismatic individuals and collectively-formulated norms and rules. Self-governed authority is in turn based on a critique of separated power in the realms of expertise and justice. It thereby constitutes a prefigurative response to widespread democratic aspirations in technologically advanced societies. However this conceptual framework also raises analytical and practical questions. In the first instance, critiques of separation on Wikipedia are hindered by the persistent regard for outside expertise, and by perceptions that justice is unfairly applied because of the ever-increasing power of the administrative caste as well as the anonymity of some participants. Second, the proposed sociology of critical actions in Wikipedia requires discussions of specific decisions by project officers and may thus contradict traditional ethical prohibitions regarding the identifications of online research subjects, suggesting the need for a clarification of the aims of research into peer production projects.	0	0
