Portuguese September 2011 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

Tensive Semiotics
Portuguese July 2011 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

WebSci Conference English 2011 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

This tool was customized in order to complement the virtual environment of learning. This validation was made with the customer regarding the use of collaborative tools and the idea mainly. The development tool is detailed to assist not only Unisul, but also other educational institutions that wish to incorporate collaboration into their learning environments. The custom tool called EADWiki, is incorporated into the virtual environment Unisul education and will meet the short term more than 15,000 students. 3 0
Retratos da colaboração e da segmentação na Wikimedia: Especificidades dos wikilivros Judaísmo e Civilização Egípcia Luana Teixeira de Souza Cruz Portuguese 2011 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

Revista L@el em (Dis-)curso Portuguese 2011 The aim of this paper is to report an analysis of the entry of Wikipedia as a digital genre. This theoretical work is based on the theory of genre as social action, developed by Carolyn Miller (1994). The analysis of the rhetorical organization of the corpus shows that this genre is a variation of the genre entry which is found in traditional encyclopedias, involving also variations in the textual aspects. 0 0

Editing
Colaboration
Estudos em Jornalismo e Mídia Portuguese July 2010 In the article we present the term “wikification of journalism” as a model of text editing on the web. This concept relates the production routines of news on the Internet with the current logic of continuous flow of information and collaboration with the opening to the public outside the newsroom. Initially, we discussed the growing issue of journalistic dissection and fragmentation of the web content published by news sites. Then we discuss the trend of public participation in news production, from editing in three models cyberjournalism proposed by Machado (2008). Finally, we raise opportunities and challenges of “wikification of journalism”, understood as a model of content management based on collaboration and continuous updating of texts. 10 2

New technologies
Abuse of freedom
Innovation
Continuities
Ciência da Informação Portuguese January 2010 The objective of this article is to present an up-to-date discussion about the extraordinary technological innovations, mainly the new technologies underlining both breaches and continuities. Technologies are supposed to present a sense of convergence as well as continuities. Hackers and others who propose free software are in favor of liberty and liberation, considering computer and internet as arenas of freedom. This is only partly correct, because these hackers who consider themselves as libertarians submit themselves to narrow-minded structures of power (for example, autocratic bosses). Internet is state-wide instead of being worldwide. France has imposed changes in the contents of sites. China does not allow a free flow of information. That aura of beginning liberty, granted as a structure of the computer for being customized and formatted is strongly contested by illegal and immoral flow, by introduction of spasm and marketing, as well as by virus contamination. The so called "generative internet" is loosing ground on account of the pressure of users who want guaranteed end-products, easier to be handled, for avoiding abuse of freedom. The case of Wikipédia is remarkable. Continuous wars of publishing unsettle the environment (although this does not hinder the production of a large and original encyclopedia). 13 0

Intexto Portuguese January 2010 Collaborative actions are naturally interlocking with conflict processes. In other words, collaboration can lead to conflicts and vice versa. This article discusses the implications of this mutual influence, checking the dynamics of conflict escalation often present in online collaborative practices. To do so, it examines the trajectory of building an entry from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia, evaluating the tensions introduced in the pages of debate over the collective and computer-mediated production. 0 0
O papel do sujeito em uma enciclopédia online Gláucia da Silva Henge Organon Portuguese 2010 This text seeks to review the notion of subject from the perspective of discourse analysis to investigate the established designation for those who edit the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. For this, other important notions are rescued, such as: image, discoursive place, meaning and memory. Going through the formulations components of the encyclopedia, we can see the slides of meaning and the game of powers between the speeches, been emerging in the subjectivity of speech through an idealization. The Wikipedian would be, then, the correspondent at the plan of designation of an imaginary construction of the figure of an internet user as the one who applies all web resources and who is free to express himself, exchange with other internet users and who is an encyclopedist inside the virtual universe. 0 0

Machine learning
SVM
Portuguese April 2009 The old dream of a universal repository containing all the human knowledge and culture is becoming possible through the Internet and the Web. Moreover, this is happening with the direct collaborative, participation of people. Wikipedia is a great example. It is an enormous repository of information with free access and edition, created by the community in a collaborative manner. However, this large amount of information, made available democratically and virtually without any control, raises questions about its relative quality. In this work we explore a significant number of quality indicators, some of them proposed by us and used here for the first time, and study their capability to assess the quality of Wikipedia articles. Furthermore, we explore machine learning techniques to combine these quality indicators into one single assessment judgment. Through experiments, we show that the most important quality indicators are the easiest ones to extract on a open digital library, namely, textual features related to length, structure and style. We were also able to determine which indicators did not contribute significantly to the quality assessment. These were, coincidentally, the most complex features, such as those based on link analysis. Finally, we compare our combination method with state-of-the-art solutions and show significant improvements in terms of effective quality prediction. 11 0

Brazilian Journalism Research English 2009 This article discusses the possibilities and challenges of the incorporation of wikis in journalistic editorial offices, especially in the processes involving the drafting and editing of texts. The reflection takes into consideration a context marked by 1) continuous fragmented publication of information; 2) simplification and horizontal organization of journalistic routines, which directly impacts the figure of the editor (mainly in the media on the web); and 3) increasing public participation in the development of the news, with the mediation of professionals. “Wiki-journalism” practices on the Wikinews and Wikipedia sites and initiatives originating with print publications are presented and discussed, and based on them we distinguish two models, which differ in the degree of control of the process by the journalists. 9 0

The description and analysis of those mechanisms consider the technical resources that enable collaboration and validation of information, the rules of internal management of content and community of users. Despite some common features shared by both projects, we point out fundamental differences in those initiatives, such as valuing expertise (Britannica) or the engagement of users (Wikipedia). 16 2

Língua Escrita Portuguese December 2007 The internet connection as a basic caracteristic of the “Network Society” resulted in new challenges for the digital literacy. The fast popularization of Internet was impacted, since 2005, by a new generation of web sites, called Web 2.0, in which is possible everyone can participate directly of the process of elaboration, publication and edition of contents. For digital literacy, this concept results in new habilities, considering that all management process is made by the users. In this paper, we present two important sites of Web 2.0: YouTube, popular in sharing videos, and Wikipedia, the enciclopedia that any one can edit. In conclusion, are discussed the habilities expected for a complete participation of “readers” in colaborative projects. 4 0

A sample of ten texts was collected over seven weeks, in order to form a corpus of interventions. This corpus was later submitted to a content analysis, aimed in verifying if the interventions had a predominant pluralizing character. The results show that indeed the interventions are for the most part pluralizing, suggesting that grassroots journalism may bring important contributions to a democratic society. 2 1
Análise do verbete da Wikipédia sob a ótica da teoria de gênero como ação social Vanessa Wendhausen Lima Wikipedia Entry
Genre
Social Action
Portuguese 2007 This study aims to analyze the Wikipedia entry. The analysis is based upon the theory of genre as a social action as proposed by Miller (1994a) and her follower Bazerman (1994). These authors state that the notion of genre is a typified social action that functions as a reply to recurrent situations. Methodological proposals for the study of the Wikipedia entry composition process are given by Paré and Smart (1994). They believe that a genre analysis based on Miller‟s theory should identify which elements are observable besides textual ones and which is the relationship between them. Therefore, the analysis of the textual elements was based on the rhetorical movements, the compositional aspects of the entry, the text format, and the social roles of the writers. This study reveals that the Wikipedia entry is a digital genre resulting from a social act which involves the whole free encyclopedia. It took this form because of the recurrence and text typifying through the rules that regulate the free encyclopedia process of writing. 2 0
