Wiki Category Matrix Visualization	Cross-platform	English	Java	Educational Community License	Wiki Category Matrix Visualization is a tool that generates a visual representation of data sizes across topics of a multi-level category hierarchy in matrix form. It provides a "big picture" overview of topics in terms of categorization.

Visualization of large category hierarchies	Robert P. Biuk-Aghai Cheong-Iao Pang Felix Hon Hou Cheang	Visual Information Communication - International Symposium	English	2011	Large data repositories such as electronic journal databases, document corpora and wikis often organise their content into categories. Librarians, researchers, and interested users who wish to know the content distribution among different categories face the challenge of analysing large amounts of data. Information visualization can assist the user by shifting the analysis task to the human visual sub-system. In this paper we describe three visualization methods we have implemented, which help users understand category hierarchies and content distribution within large document repositories, and present an evaluation of these visualizations, pointing out each of their relative strengths for communicating information about the underlying category structure.	0	0
Visualizing author contribution statistics in Wikis using an edit significance metric	Peter Kin-Fong Fong Robert P. Biuk-Aghai	WikiSym	English	2011	Wiki articles tend to be edited multiple times by multiple authors. This makes it difficult to identify individual authors’ contributions by human observation alone. We calculate an edit significance metric, using different weights for different types of edits, which reflect the different value placed on them by wiki community members. We then aggregate edit significance values and present them as visualizations to the user to aid in perceiving extent and patterns of contributions.	0	0
Wikipedia category visualization using radial layout	Robert P. Biuk-Aghai Felix Hon Hou Cheang	WikiSym	English	2011	Wikipedia is a large and popular daily information source for millions of people. How are articles distributed by topic area, and what is the semantic coverage of Wikipedia? Using manual methods it is impractical to determine this. We present the design of an information visualization tool that produces overview diagrams of Wikipedia’s articles distributed according to category relationships, and show examples of visualizing English Wikipedia.	0	0
Wikipedia world map: method and application of map-like wiki visualization	Cheong-Iao Pang Robert P. Biuk-Aghai	WikiSym	English	2011	Wiki are popular platforms for collaborative editing. In volunteer-driven wikis such as Wikipedia, which attracts millions of authors editing articles on a diverse range of topics, contributors’ editing activity results in certain semantic coverage of topic areas. Obtaining an understanding of a given wiki’s semantic coverage is not easy. To solve this problem, we have devised a method for visualizing a wiki in a way similar to a geographic map. We have applied our method to Wikipedia, and generated visualizations for several Wikipedia language editions. This paper presents our wiki visualization method and its application.	0	0
Visualization of Interactions in Collaborative Writing	Robert P. Biuk-Aghai Christopher Kelen Hari Venkatesan	International Conference on Digital Ecosystems and Technologies	English	February 2008	Wikis have become an important component of a collaboration infrastructure, particularly in loosely-coupled and self-organizing settings such as those of digital ecosystems. We report on our use of wikis in the education doman to support collaborative creative writing, as well as collaborative translation. This paper presents an analysis and visualization tool that we have developed as an aid for assessing both the process and the outcome of these collaborative writing tasks.	16	0
Visualizing Co-Authorship Networks in Online Wikipedia	Robert P. Biuk-Aghai	International Symposium on Communications and Information Technologies	English	2006	The Wikipedia online user-contributed encyclopedia has rapidly become a highly popular and widely used online reference source. However, perceiving the complex relationships in the network of articles and other entities in Wikipedia is far from easy. We introduce the notion of using co-authorship of articles to determine relationship between articles, and present the WikiVis information visualization system which visualizes this and other types of relationships in the Wikipedia database in 3D graph form. A 3D star layout and a 3D nested cone tree layout are presented for displaying relationships between entities and between categories, respectively. A novel 3D pinboard layout is presented for displaying search results	1	1
