A Malicious Bot Capturing System using a Beneficial Bot and Wiki	Takashi Yamanoue Kentaro Oda Koichi Shimozono	Information security Network analysis	Journal of Information Processing	English	February 2013	Locating malicious bots in a large network is problematic because the internal firewalls and network address translation (NAT) routers of the network unintentionally contribute to hiding the bots’ host address and malicious packets. However, eliminating firewalls and NAT routers merely for locating bots is generally not acceptable. In the present paper, we propose an easy to deploy, easy to manage network security control system for locating a malicious host behind internal secure gateways. The proposed network security control system consists of a remote security device and a command server. The remote security device is installed as a transparent link (implemented as an L2 switch), between the subnet and its gateway in order to detect a host that has been compromised by a malicious bot in a target subnet, while minimizing the impact of deployment. The security device is controlled remotely by 'polling' the command server in order to eliminate the NAT traversal problem and to be firewall friendly. Since the remote security device exists in transparent, remotely controlled, robust security gateways, we regard this device as a beneficial bot. We adopt a web server with wiki software as the command server in order to take advantage of its power of customization, ease of use, and ease of deployment of the server.	5	0

Wikipédia, espace fluide, espace à parcourir	Rémi Mathis	Wikipedia	La Revue de la BNU	French	September 2012	Wikipédia est un espace foncièrement décentré : qui existe en plus de 280 langues, où les auteurs se comptent en centaines de milliers, qui évolue sans cesse pour coller au dernier état du savoir. Afin de faciliter la navigation, des portes d'entrée sont créées et des outils permettent de structurer cet espace. L'idée n'est toutefois pas d'imposer un parcours mais bien au contraire de favoriser la fluidité de la lecture, par des itinéraires sans cesse réinventés par les lecteurs - tendant à enrichir son expérience de découverte et l'amener vers des articles qu'ils n'aurait pas cherché par lui-même.	0	0
Wikipédia. Une somme originale de copies	Rémi Mathis	Wikipedia Copie Plagiarism	Médium	French	August 2012	Comment Wikipédia peut être le reflet du savoir d'une époque en rejetant la copie. La question de la copie vis-à-vis de Wikipédia est abordée à trois niveaux : 1/Wikipédia est une synthèse de la connaissance mais sa licence l'oblige à être foncièrement originale 2/Wikipédia comme copie des encyclopédies ou nouveau modèle 3/Wikipédia, source de textes prêts à être recopiés	0	0
Wikipédia, un projet hors normes ?	Rémi Bachelet Alexandre Moatti	Normes Wikipedia Encyclopedia Diffusion de la culture scientifique Web 2.0	Responsabilité & Environnement (Annales des Mines)	French	24 July 2012	Wikipédia et l'ISO représentent toutes deux une cristallisation du savoir. que ce soit savoir-faire (ISO) ou savoir encyclopédique (Wikipédia). Toutes deux sont fondés sur la recherche de consensus et la collaboration sous forme de textes écrits. Dès le départ Wikipédia a adopté des règles, avec ses cinq principes fondateurs. La montée en puissance a conduit au développement d'un espace méta (ex. page de discussion) dont le fonctionnement a nécessité une codification.	2	0
Análisis de enlaces hacia Bibliotecas y Archivos Digitales de Patrimonio Cultural desde Wikipedia en español y catalán	Tomás Saorín-Pérez Emilio J. Rodríguez-Posada		BiD: textos universitaris de biblioteconomia i documentació	Spanish	July 2012	Objetivo. Describir y evaluar el uso en Wikipedia de enlaces a las colecciones digitalizadas en bibliotecas, archivos y otras instituciones culturales. Metodología. El estudio se realiza sobre la totalidad de los artículos de las ediciones en español y catalán de Wikipedia, usando una herramienta de análisis de wikis. Se realiza una selección amplia de 81 colecciones digitales españolas de diferente alcance. También se toman datos de otros proyectos de digitalización para poder comparar los resultados. Resultados. Se muestra una presencia aún débil de enlaces desde Wikipedia, excepto para la Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes, cuyas magnitudes son sensiblemente diferentes. Algunas colecciones especializadas son más usadas, pero en general se aprecia una falta de atención hacia estas colecciones desde el colectivo de editores de Wikipedia, lo cual debería tenerse en cuenta en el desarrollo de los proyectos de digitalización tipo Europeana.	5	0
Dynamics of Conflicts in Wikipedia	Taha Yasseri Róbert Sumi András Rung András Kornai János Kertész		PLoS ONE	English	June 2012	In this work we study the dynamical features of editorial wars in Wikipedia (WP). Based on our previously established algorithm, we build up samples of controversial and peaceful articles and analyze the temporal characteristics of the activity in these samples. On short time scales, we show that there is a clear correspondence between conflict and burstiness of activity patterns, and that memory effects play an important role in controversies. On long time scales, we identify three distinct developmental patterns for the overall behavior of the articles. We are able to distinguish cases eventually leading to consensus from those cases where a compromise is far from achievable. Finally, we analyze discussion networks and conclude that edit wars are mainly fought by few editors only.	44	1

Panorama of the wikimediasphere	David Gómez-Fontanills	Wikimedia Wikipedia MediaWiki Free community good Communities of editors Editorial autonomy Libre software	Digithum	English Catalan	May 2012	The term wikimediasphere is proposed to refer to the group of WikiProjects, communities of editors, guidelines and organisations structured around the Wikimedia movement to generate free knowledge that is available to everyone. A description is made of the wikimediasphere, presenting the main projects and their characteristics, and its community, technological, regulatory, social and institutional dimensions are outlined. The wikimediasphere is placed in context and reference is made to its blurred boundaries. An explanation is provided of the role of the communities of editors of each project and their autonomy with respect to each other and to the Wikimedia Foundation. The author concludes by offering a panoramic view of the wikimediasphere.	10	0
The Truth of Wikipedia	Nathaniel Tkacz	Wikipedia Neutral point of view Truth Collaboration	Digithum	English Catalan	May 2012	What does it mean to assert that Wikipedia has a relation to truth? That there is, despite regular claims to the contrary, an entire apparatus of truth in Wikipedia? In this article, I show that Wikipedia has in fact two distinct relations to truth: one which is well known and forms the basis of existing popular and scholarly commentaries, and another which refers to equally well-known aspects of Wikipedia, but has not been understood in terms of truth. I demonstrate Wikipedia’s dual relation to truth through a close analysis of the Neutral Point of View core content policy (and one of the project’s “Five Pillars”). I conclude by indicating what is at stake in the assertion that Wikipedia has a regime of truth and what bearing this has on existing commentaries.	7	0
Using Wikipedia to develop language resources: WordNet 3.0 in Catalan and Spanish	Antoni Oliver Salvador Climent	Wikipedia WordNet Natural Language Processing Linguistic resources	Digithum	English Catalan	May 2012	We describe the state of the art in the use of Wikipedia for natural language processing tasks and also describe three applications of our own that enrich a powerful language resource: WordNet version 3.0 in Catalan and Spanish. Researchers have for many years sought applications that would take account of world knowledge in a more or less structured way, as this kind of knowledge has proven to be crucial to satisfactorily solving certain language processing tasks. Wikipedia may be the answer to the provision of this kind of information, as it is constantly updated and access is free.	17	0
Wiki Loves Monuments 2011: the experience in Spain and reflections regarding the diffusion of cultural heritage	Emilio J. Rodríguez-Posada Ángel González Berdasco Jorge A. Sierra Canduela Santiago Navarro Sanz Tomás Saorín-Pérez	Wiki Loves Monuments Cultural heritage Image bank Wikimedia Commons Libre knowledge Photography	Digithum	Spanish Catalan English	May 2012	Wikipedia came into being in cyberspace. Its early years were marked by asynchronous work by users located all over the world who hardly ever related on a personal level outside the net. With time, some of the volunteers met at what were called wikimeetups, encounters initially aimed at tightening bonds which did not bring about any direct improvement to the project content. Face-to-face initiatives later took place that involved not just volunteers but also cultural entities. The most recent event and the one with the greatest impact was Wiki Loves Monuments 2011, a competition to photograph monuments in 18 European countries, including Spain. The high level of participation led to 160,000 photographs of monuments being taken, with Spain occupying the third place in terms of number of photographs. In this paper we explore the origins, implementation, development and results of Wiki Loves Monuments. The success of the 2011 edition and requests from other countries has led to organization of Wiki Loves Monuments 2012, which will be held at the global level.	3	0
Wikipedia's Role in Reputation Management: An Analysis of the Best and Worst Companies in the USA	Marcia W. DiStaso Marcus Messner	Wikipedia Reputation management United States Monitor Social media	Digithum	English Catalan	May 2012	Being considered one of the best companies in the USA is a great honor, but this reputation does not exempt businesses from negativity in the collaboratively edited online encyclopedia Wikipedia. Content analysis of corporate Wikipedia articles for companies with the best and worst reputations in the USA revealed that negative content outweighed positive content irrespective of reputation. It was found that both the best and the worst companies had more negative than positive content in Wikipedia. This is an important issue because Wikipedia is not only one of the most popular websites in the world, but is also often the first place people look when seeking corporate information. Although there was more content on corporate social responsibility in the entries for the ten companies with the best reputations, this was still overshadowed by content referring to legal issues or scandals. Ultimately, public relations professionals need to regularly monitor and request updates to their corporate Wikipedia articles regardless of what kind of company they work for.	0	0
Open Wikis and the Protection of Institutional Welfare	Andrew G. West Insup Lee		EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research, Research Bulletins	English	7 February 2012	Much has been written about wikis’ reliability and use in the classroom. This research bulletin addresses the negative impacts on institutional welfare that can arise from participating in and supporting wikis. The open nature of the platform, which is fundamental to wiki operation and success, enables these negative consequences. A finite user base that can be determined a priori (e.g., a course roster) minimizes the security implications, hence our discussion in this bulletin primarily concerns open or public wikis that accept contributions from a broad and unknown set of Internet users.	0	0
A Simple Application Program Interface for Saving Java Program Data on a Wiki	Takashi Yamanoue Kentaro Oda Koichi Shimozono	Wiki Collaboration E-learning	Advances in Software Engineering	English	2012	A simple application program interface (API) for Java programs running on a wiki is implemented experimentally. A Java program with the API can be running on a wiki, and the Java program can save its data on the wiki. The Java program consists of PukiWiki, which is a popular wiki in Japan, and a plug-in, which starts up Java programs and classes of Java. A Java applet with default access privilege cannot save its data at a local host. We have constructed an API of applets for easy and unified data input and output at a remote host. We also combined the proposed API and the wiki system by introducing a wiki tag for starting Java applets. It is easy to introduce new types of applications using the proposed API. We have embedded programs such as a simple text editor, a simple music editor, a simple drawing program, and programming environments in a PukiWiki system using this API.	10	3
A practical approach to language complexity: a Wikipedia case study	Taha Yasseri András Kornai János Kertész		Submitted to PLoS ONE	English	2012	In this paper we present statistical analysis of English texts from Wikipedia (WP). We try to address the issue of language complexity empirically by comparing samples of the main English WP (Main) and the simple English WP (Simple). Simple is supposed to use a more simplified language with a limited vocabulary, and editors are explicitly requested to follow this guideline, yet in practice the vocabulary richness of both samples are at the same level. However, detailed analysis of longer units (n-grams rather than words alone) shows that the language of Simple is indeed less complex than that of Main. Comparing the two language varieties by the Gunning readability index supports this conclusion. We also report on the topical dependence of language complexity, e.g. that the language is more advanced in conceptual articles compared to person-based (biographical) and object-based articles. Finally, we investigate the relation between conflict and language complexity by analysing the content of the talk pages associated to controversial and peacefully developing articles, concluding that controversy has the effect of reducing language complexity.	0	0

Assessment of collaborative learning experiences by graphical analysis of wiki contributions	Manuel Palomo-Duarte Juan Manuel Dodero-Beardo Inmaculada Medina-Bulo Emilio J. Rodríguez-Posada Iván Ruiz-Rube	Computer-supported collaborative learning Wiki E-Learning assessment Data visualization Graphical analysis tool	Interactive Learning Environments	English	2012	The widespread adoption of computers and Internet in our life has reached the classrooms, where Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning based on wikis offers new ways of collaboration and encourages student 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, automatic tools are required to support the assessment of such huge amounts of data. In this work we present StatMediaWiki, a tool that collects and aggregates information that helps to analyze a MediaWiki installation. It generates charts, tables and different statistics enabling easy analysis of wiki evolution.. We have used StatMediaWiki in a Higher Education course and present the results obtained in this case study.	14	0
Automatic Vandalism Detection in Wikipedia with Active Associative Classification	Maria Sumbana Marcos André Gonçalves Rodrigo Silva Jussara Almeida Adriano Veloso		Lecture Notes in Computer Science		2012	Wikipedia and other free editing services for collaboratively generated content have quickly grown in popularity. However, the lack of editing control has made these services vulnerable to various types of malicious actions such as vandalism. State-of-the-art vandalism detection methods are based on supervised techniques, thus relying on the availability of large and representative training collections. Building such collections, often with the help of crowdsourcing, is very costly due to a natural skew towards very few vandalism examples in the available data as well as dynamic patterns. Aiming at reducing the cost of building such collections, we present a new active sampling technique coupled with an on-demand associative classification algorithm for Wikipedia vandalism detection. We show that our classifier enhanced with a simple undersampling technique for building the training set outperforms state-of-the-art classifiers such as SVMs and kNNs. Furthermore, by applying active sampling, we are able to reduce the need for training in almost 96% with only a small impact on detection results.	0	0
Circadian patterns of Wikipedia editorial activity: A demographic analysis	Taha Yasseri Róbert Sumi János Kertész	Wikipedia Editorial activity Editors demography Circadian patterns	PLoS ONE	English	2012	Wikipedia (WP) as a collaborative, dynamical system of humans is an appropriate subject of social studies. Each single action of the members of this society, i.e. editors, is well recorded and accessible. Using the cumulative data of 34 Wikipedias in different languages, we try to characterize and find the universalities and differences in temporal activity patterns of editors. Based on this data, we estimate the geographical distribution of editors for each WP in the globe. Furthermore we also clarify the differences among different groups of WPs, which originate in the variance of cultural and social features of the communities of editors.	10	1

Wikipedia Lover, Not a Hater: Harnessing Wikipedia to Increase the Discoverability of Library Resources	Danielle Elder R. Niccole Westbrook Michele Reilly	Wikipedia Wikimedia Commons School of Library Information Science internship programs Digital collections Web referral Web traffic Marketing Collection promotion	Journal of Web Librarianship	English	2012	During the spring of 2010, the University of Houston Libraries Digital Services Department began an initiative to promote existing and upcoming collections in the University of Houston Digital Library and drive traffic to the online repository. Spurred by an OCLC report (De Rosa et al. 2005) that only two percent of college and university students began research by consulting library resources, University of Houston Digital Services staff sought to add content from the University of Houston Digital Library to Wikipedia in order to insert primary source digital materials into the research workflow of students and faculty. As a result, referrals from Wikipedia to the University of Houston Digital Library have increased significantly and the pilot project is now the basis for an ongoing University of Houston Digital Services program. The structure and direction of the pilot project were a collaborative effort between University of Houston Digital Services staff and a University of North Texas Library and Information Science intern participating in the University of Houston Digital Services Digital Library Internship Program. Through this case study the authors cover the evolution of the University of Houston Digital Services Wikipedia pilot project and its growth into a permanent program. The authors also outline the workflows and procedures of the project and describes in detail the challenges and successes of the pilot Wikipedia project at University of Houston Digital Services. Included are lessons learned for libraries and cultural institutions interested in establishing a similar program.	0	1
Wikis en docencia: una experiencia con WikiHaskell y StatMediaWiki (RUSC)	Manuel Palomo-Duarte Inmaculada Medina-Bulo Emilio J. Rodríguez-Posada Francisco Palomo-Lozano	Computer-supported collaborative learning Wiki Medición en aprendizaje electrónico Libre software	Revista de Universidad y Sociedad del Conocimiento	Spanish English	2012	En este artículo se presenta WikiHaskell, un proyecto basado en tecnologías wiki que se ha desarrollado en la titulación de Ingeniero en Informática de la Universidad de Cádiz. WikiHaskell es un wiki en el que los alumnos, organizados en grupos de tres, crean material complementario sobre bibliotecas del lenguaje de programación Haskell. El principal objetivo de este proyecto es incorporar al aula la creación de conocimiento libre, de manera que se consiga que los alumnos se conviertan en los verdaderos protagonistas de la asignatura. Para evaluar el wiki y, por tanto, el trabajo realizado por el alumnado se ha desarrollado StatMediaWiki, un sistema de análisis estadístico para wikis MediaWiki que permite hacerlo de manera sencilla y transparente. StatMediaWiki genera un informe general del wiki y análisis individuales del trabajo desarrollado por cada usuario, por cada página y por cada categoría. Gracias al análisis de contribuciones de esta herramienta se han podido identificar varios perfiles de usuario según su distribución temporal en el curso. Del mismo modo, el análisis por categorías facilita la detección de determinadas situaciones dentro de un grupo, como por ejemplo, la ubicación de los alumnos líderes o la de los menos activos. Tanto el contenido del wiki como el código de StatMediaWiki son libres y accesibles públicamente.	16	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	28 November 2011	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

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	August 2011	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
The visibility of Wikipedia in scholarly publications	Taemin Kim Park		First Monday	English	1 August 2011	Publications in the Institute of Scientific Information’s (ISI, currently Thomson Reuters) Web of Science (WoS) and Elsevier’s Scopus databases were utilized to collect data about Wikipedia research and citations to Wikipedia. The growth of publications on Wikipedia research, the most active researchers, their associated institutions, academic fields and their geographic distribution are treated in this paper. The impact and influence of Wikipedia were identified, utilizing cited work found in (WoS) and Scopus. Additionally, leading authors, affiliated institutions, countries, academic fields, and publications that frequently cite Wikipedia are identified.	18	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	July 2011	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	July 2011	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

Evaluating WikiTrust: A trust support tool for Wikipedia	Teun Lucassen Jan Maarten Schraagen		First Monday	English	May 2011	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
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	May 2011	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
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	April 2011	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	January 2011	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 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	2011	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	2011	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

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	2011	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
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	2011	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

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	2011	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

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	2011	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

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	2011	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

The sociology of critique in Wikipedia	Mathieu O'Neil		CSPP	English	2011	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
Using a Wiki to Scaffold Primary-School Students’ Collaborative Writing	Matsuko Woo Samuel Chu Andrew Ho Xuanxi Li	Wiki Collaborative writing Affordances L2 Writing Scaffolding Primary school	Educational Technology & Society	English	2011	This small-scale case study explores the challenges and potential benefits of a wiki for students and teachers in a primary-five English-language class in Hong Kong. The study examined how the wiki’s key affordances might help in scaffolding students during their collaborative writing projects. The study found that the use of a wiki in a class of primary-five students in a Chinese primary school where English is taught as a second language (L2) was perceived positively. Students enjoyed using the wiki, and the overall perception was that it helped foster teamwork and improved writing. The tracking functionality of the wiki gave in-depth information about the types of edits the students were making and helped the teacher to provide necessary support and feedback, scaffolding their editing process. Findings from this study may help illuminate how Web 2.0, specifically wikis, can help scaffold primary-school L2 writers in collaborative learning.	7	0
Verbete Digital: Análise de Gênero na Wikipedia	Vanessa Wendhausen Lima	Genre Digital genre Wikipedia entry Social action	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
WikiTeams: How Do They Achieve Success?				English	2011	Web 2.0 technology and so-called social media are among the most popular (among users and researchers alike) Internet technologies today. Among them, Wiki technology - created to simplify HTML editing and enable open, collaborative editing of pages by ordinary Web users - occupies an important place. Wiki is increasingly adopted by businesses as a useful form of knowledge management and sharing, creating "corporate Wikis." However, the most widely known application of Wiki technology - Wikipedia - is, according to many analysts, more than just an open encyclopedia that uses Wiki.	0	0
Wikibooks and Wikibookians: Loosely Coupled Community or a Choice for Future Textbooks?	Meng Fen Grace Lin Suthiporn Sajjapanroj Curtis J. Bonk	Computers and education Computers and society Internet applications.	IEEE Trans. Learn. Technol.	English	2011	This is the second of a two-part study of the Wikibookian community. Our initial study explored the basic demographics, purpose and goals, ownership, collaborative work experiences, successes and failures, and advantages and disadvantages of wikibooks. Those initial results revealed interesting issues related to the Wikibookian community and practices within the Wikibooks web site. This follow-up study was conducted to better understand Wikibookian apprenticeship, identity, and community of practice. Our survey data suggested that while there is a strong sense of community within the Wikibookians, most members work independently and without direct apprenticeship from other more experienced Wikibookians. We conclude that Wikibooks is not a social-networking site where people share profile pictures and make friends. Nevertheless, many Wikibookians do not have difficulties in communicating with other Wikibookians or in contributing to Wikibooks. In addition, this is an open educational environment where sharing knowledge is the primary goal.	7	0

Wikipedia: Example for a future Electronic Democracy?: Decision, Discipline and Discourse in the Collaborative Encyclopaedia	Sylvain Firer-Blaess	Active learning strategies	Studies in Social and Political Thought	English	2011	This article describes the mechanisms of a successful product of the Internet involving mass collaboration, namely, the online encyclopaedia Wikipedia. In the first part of the paper, the author analyses the decision making process, including debates and consensus, which Wikipedia employs, and makes a connection with the Habermasian model of rational discourse. In the second part, he analyses the disciplines (in the Foucauldian sense) which underlie and permit this decision making process. He finds that, on the theoretical plane, despite the harsh criticisms Habermas claimed against the writings of Foucault, we can see a rather complementary relation between the establishing of rational discourse in Wikipedia and the effects of its discipline. In a third part, the author shows the resistances that face the decision-making process and the disciplines, and considers the reactions that have emerged against such resistances. These findings lead on to a discussion of the normativity of Foucauldian disciplines and the possibility of their heterogeneity. Finally, the author examines the possible implementations of the Wikipedia system to electronic democracy projects.	0	0
Wikis in scholarly publishing	Daniel Mietchen Gregor Hagedorn Konrad U. Förstner M. Fabiana Kubke Claudia Koltzenburg Mark Hahnel Lyubomir Penev	Wiki Scientific publishing Scholarly publishing Reputation Version control Peer review Collaboration platforms	Information Services and Use	English	2011	Scientific research is a process concerned with the creation, collective accumulation, contextualization, updating and maintenance of knowledge. Wikis provide an environment that allows to collectively accumulate, contextualize, update and maintain knowledge in a coherent and transparent fashion. Here, we examine the potential of wikis as platforms for scholarly publishing. In the hope to stimulate further discussion, the article itself was drafted on Species ID – http://species-id.net; a wiki that hosts a prototype for wiki-based scholarly publishing – where it can be updated, expanded or otherwise improved.	0	1

From Encyclopædia Britannica to Wikipedia: Generational differences in the perceived credibility of online encyclopedia information	Andrew J. Flanagin Miriam J. Metzger	Information credibility Social media User generated content Wikipedia Web 2.0	Information, Communication & Society	English	18 November 2010	This study examined the perceived credibility of user-generated (i.e. Wikipedia) versus more expertly provided online encyclopedic information (i.e. Citizendium, and the online version of the Encyclopædia Britannica) across generations. Two large-scale surveys with embedded quasi-experiments were conducted: among 11 –18-year-olds living at home and among adults 18 years and older. Results showed that although use of Wikipedia is common, many people (particularly adults) do not truly comprehend how Wikipedia operates in terms of information provision, and that while people trust Wikipedia as an information source, they express doubt about the appropriateness of doing so. A companion quasi-experiment found that both children and adults assess information to be more credible when it originates or appears to originate from Encyclopædia Britannica. In addition, chil- dren rated information from Wikipedia to be less believable when they viewed it on Wikipedia’s site than when that same information appeared on either Citizendium’s site or on Encyclopædia Britannica’s site. Indeed, content originating from Wikipe- dia was perceived by children as least credible when it was shown on a Wikipedia page, yet the most credible when it was shown on the page of Encyclopædia Brit- annica. The practical and theoretical implications of these results are discussed.	0	1
Trust in Collaborative Web Applications	Andrew G. West Jian Chang Krishna Venkatasubramanian Insup Lee		Future Generation Computer Systems, special section on Trusting Software Behavior	English	October 2010	Collaborative functionality is increasingly prevalent in Internet applications. Such functionality permits individuals to add -- and sometimes modify -- web content, often with minimal barriers to entry. Ideally, large bodies of knowledge can be amassed and shared in this manner. However, such software also provides a medium for biased individuals, spammers, and nefarious persons to operate. By computing trust/reputation for participating agents and/or the content they generate, one can identify quality contributions. In this work, we survey the state-of-the-art for calculating trust in collaborative content. In particular, we examine four proposals from literature based on: (1) content persistence, (2) natural-language processing, (3) metadata properties, and (4) incoming link quantity. Though each technique can be applied broadly, Wikipedia provides a focal point for discussion. Finally, having critiqued how trust values are calculated, we analyze how the presentation of these values can benefit end-users and application security.	0	0
Wikificação como modelo de edição de conteúdos jornalísticos na web	Carlos Frederico de Brito d’Andréa	Webjournalism 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

John Kress Chris Thompson Terry Erwin	Semantic tagging Semantic enhancements Systematics Taxonomy	ZooKeys	English	June 2010	The concept of semantic tagging and its potential for semantic enhancements to taxonomic papers is outlined and illustrated by four exemplar papers published in the present issue of ZooKeys. The four papers were created in different ways: (i) written in Microsoft Word and submitted as non-tagged manuscript (doi: 10.3897/zookeys.50.504); (ii) generated from Scratchpads and submitted as XML-tagged manuscripts (doi: 10.3897/zookeys.50.505 and doi: 10.3897/zookeys.50.506); (iii) generated from an author’s database (doi: 10.3897/zookeys.50.485) and submitted as XML-tagged manuscript. XML tagging and semantic enhancements were implemented during the editorial process of ZooKeys using the Pensoft Mark Up Tool (PMT), specially designed for this purpose. The XML schema used was TaxPub, an extension to the Document Type Definitions (DTD) of the US National Library of Medicine Journal Archiving and Interchange Tag Suite (NLM). The following innovative methods of tagging, layout, publishing and disseminating the content were tested and implemented within the ZooKeys editorial workflow: (1) highly automated, fine-grained XML tagging based on TaxPub; (2) final XML output of the paper validated against the NLM DTD for archiving in PubMedCentral; (3) bibliographic metadata embedded in the PDF through XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform); (4) PDF uploaded after publication to the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL); (5) taxon treatments supplied through XML to Plazi; (6) semantically enhanced HTML version of the paper encompassing numerous internal and external links and linkouts, such as: (i) vizualisation of main tag elements within the text (e.g., taxon names, taxon treatments, localities, etc.); (ii) internal cross-linking between paper sections, citations, references, tables, and figures; (iii) mapping of localities listed in the whole paper or within separate taxon treatments; (v) taxon names autotagged, dynamically mapped and linked through the Pensoft Taxon Profile (PTP) to large international database services and indexers such as Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), Barcode of Life (BOLD), Encyclopedia of Life (EOL), ZooBank, Wikipedia, Wikispecies, Wikimedia, and others; (vi) GenBank accession numbers autotagged and linked to NCBI; (vii) external links of taxon names to references in PubMed, Google Scholar, Biodiversity Heritage Library and other sources. With the launching of the working example, ZooKeys becomes the first taxonomic journal to provide a complete XML-based editorial, publication and dissemination workflow implemented as a routine and cost-efficient practice. It is anticipated that XML-based workflow will also soon be implemented in botany through PhytoKeys, a forthcoming partner journal of ZooKeys. The semantic markup and enhancements are expected to greatly extend and accelerate the way taxonomic information is published, disseminated and used.	0	1

Análisis de la incorporación de una plataforma wiki a la docencia de la asignatura "nuevas tecnologías de la información"	Antonio José Reinoso Peinado	Wiki Wiki engine MediaWiki Wiki platforms E-learning Information Technologies IT	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	16 January 2010	This paper describes the study carried out in order to analyze and evaluate the use of a wiki-based platform as a supporting element in the student learning process. The Wiki platform is also analyzed as a tool providing services in teaching of subjects related to New Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Moreover, this work focuses on the necessary metrics to be obtained in order to establish use and behavioural patterns which allow to characterize the user-platform relationships and may lead to describe possible students’ attitudes when facing tasks demanding cooperative and collaborative efforts. Este documento describe el estudio realizado con el fin de analizar y evaluar el uso de una plataforma basada en el paradigma “Wiki” como elemento de apoyo en el proceso de aprendizaje de los alumnos y como herramienta de utilidad en la docencia de una materia relacionada con las Nuevas Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicaciones (TIC). Además, este trabajo trata de obtener las métricas necesarias para establecer patrones de uso y comportamiento que permitan caracterizar la interacción con la plataforma y puedan ayudar a describir la actitud de los alumnos a la hora de enfrentarse a la realización de tareas cooperativas que exijan coordinación y organización de esfuerzos.	6	0
Arquitectura en territorios informados y transparentes. Una wiki en la escuela de arquitectura	Javier Fernández García	Architecture Territory Immersion Wiki Teaching	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	16 January 2010	The framework of our research is based on the spaces information, formation and cohabitation configured by the citizens of the online territory. Web 2.0 has granted us new tools to build spaces with. Since the establishment in August 2006 of the platform CityWiki, we conduct an investigation on the architectures of these places that shape a common space without hierarchy or police. Action, thus, occurs strictly from the freedom of responsible inhabitants. [As defined by M.Castells (2004)] this cohabitation may only exist in a multiple place, where the unlikeness of dwellers gets "unified by the common believe of the value of the fact of sharing". Moreover, in this laboratory, we encourage a new research and teaching activity with an attitude 2.0 inspired in these basic principles of World Wide Web. In the first part of this article, the empirically evolving theoretical background which focuses the today of our research is exposed. The main objective of this part is to prove wiki territories to be informed and transparent, able to augment and never substitute our reality with new layers of information. In the second part, our innovative teaching experience during 2007/08 is described and scrutinized in the terms described. El marco general de nuestra investigación en la universidad son los espacios de convivencia, información y formación que configuran los habitantes en un territorio online. La Web 2.0 nos ha dotado de nuevas herramientas con la que construir espacios. Desde la fundación en agosto de 2006 de CityWiki, indagamos en la arquitectura de estos lugares que se articulan en un espacio común en el que, a falta de jerarquía y policía, la acción en él la define el empoderamiento y la libertad del ciudadano responsable. A modo de laboratorio, desde entonces, embarcamos la actividad investigadora y docente en la actitud 2.0 incluida en la WWW. En la primera parte de este artículo se expone el pensamiento actualizado que empíricamente evoluciona emparejado a la actualidad de nuestras investigaciones. El objetivo es hacer entender el territorio wiki como informado y transparente llamado a añadir capas de información a la realidad para de esta forma no sustituirla sino ampliarla. Seguidamente, en la segunda parte, se describe y analiza la experiencia de innovación llevada a cabo durante el curso 2007/2008 en la que se ensayó un modelo docente instrumentados en los modos y paisajes previamente descritos.	2	0
El diseño de una Wiki sobre ecoturismo como herramienta para el aprendizaje universitario de turismo en entorno virtual	Francesc González Reverté Oriol Miralbell Izard	Wiki Ecotourism E-learning Collaborative working Web 2.0	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	16 January 2010	Our case is about the development and implementation of a wiki on Ecotourism for didactical purposes in e-learning, based on a collaborative learning methodology. The goal of the project is twofold: 1) to develop teaching methodologies useful for collaborative working and 2) an efficient use of both students and teachers of the web 2.0 tools. The main contributions are the definition of a new methodology for University team working in e-learning and the integration of the wiki articles as a didactic resource in the virtual classroom. The level of satisfaction among the students who did participate in the experience has been very high. Two problems were detected. First, the technical complexity during the implementation and design of the wiki and, second, the amount of time dedicated to the project by students an the project team. La experiencia consiste en la creación de una wiki sobre Ecoturismo organizada en torno al trabajo colectivo como objeto de aprendizaje de la evaluación continua para la asignatura de (Ecoturismo). Tiene dos objetivos de innovación: 1) el desarrollo de metodologías docentes aptas para el trabajo colaborativo, y 2) habituar al uso de las herramientas del web 2.0 a estudiantes y a docentes. Las principales aportaciones del proyecto han sido el diseño de una metodología novedosa de trabajo en equipo en entorno de aprendizaje virtual; y la integración de las entradas de la wiki como recurso docente. Las encuestas de satisfacción realizadas entre los estudiantes muestran la excelente acogida del proyecto. Los principales problemas detectados tienen que ver con las dificultades técnicas en la implementación de la wiki así como el exceso de carga docente que ha supuesto.	5	0
La Wiki-Webquest: Una Actividad Colaborativa En La Asignatura De "Nuevas Tecnologías Aplicadas A La Educación"	Roberto Santos Fernández Beatriz Carramolino Arranz Henar Rodríguez Navarro Bartolomé Rubia Avi	Wiki Wiki-WebQuest Inquiry based learning Collaborative work	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	16 January 2010	European Higher Education Institutions are involved in a deep reform in order to adapt themselves to the far reaching set of reforms posed by European Higher Education Area. One of the main changes their teachers have to face up consists on the methodological restructuring of their classes. Thus, it is necessary to reflect on new teacher education methods. This is what we have been proposing within a mandatory undergraduate course on ICT (Information and Communication Technologies applied to Education) to preservice teachers at the College of Education in the University of Valladolid (Spain). The course relies on an Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) approach supported by a Wiki-based environment adapted to the needs of the course. A set of collaborative activities is presented to our students by using this technology. In this article we introduce one of those activities, the elaboration of a Wiki-WebQuest. From this activity, we pretend to show some lights and shadows emerged during the process of knowledge building (the versatility and flexibility of the tool, the possibility given by it to promote collaboration among different Institutions and their students, unsuitability of some content to the specific course, lack of advisory from teachers to primary students about how to use these new tools, etc.) The experience was developed in collaboration with two real primary schools, serving as case studies to design a Wiki-WebQuest for. It was also implemented in collaboration with two other undergraduate courses (Didactic and Foreign Language Methodology), with the aim of enriching the learning process. Las instituciones de educación superior están sufriendo un proceso de reconversión buscando su adaptación a las características del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior. Uno de los cambios más importantes, a los que debe hacer frente su profesorado, consiste en una reorganización metodológica diferente de sus clases. Por ello, es necesario pensar en nuevas fórmulas en la formación del profesorado. Como resultado de esta necesidad, decidimos organizar la asignatura de Nuevas Tecnologías Aplicadas a la Educación, de la Facultad de Educación de Valladolid, empleando una metodología activa, el IBL, apoyada en una plataforma Wiki, proponiendo a nuestro alumnado una serie de actividades que debían realizar colaborativamente. En este trabajo, presentamos una de esas actividades, la elaboración de una Wiki-WebQuest. A partir de la descripción de esta actividad, pretendemos mostrar algunas luces y sombras sobre su puesta en práctica (la versatilidad y flexibilidad de la plataforma, la posibilidad de colaboración entre la universidad y la escuela, la falta de adaptación de algunos contenidos al nivel curricular del curso concreto, la falta de asesoramiento del profesorado al alumnado de primaria sobre el uso de estas nuevas herramientas, etc.) Esta actividad fue desarrollada a partir de la colaboración con contextos educativos reales (dos centros de primaria), sirviendo de caso de estudio para diseñar una Wiki-WebQuest. Asimismo, también colaboraron dos asignaturas de la titulación de Magisterio (Didáctica General y Metodología del Idioma Extranjero), con el objetivo de enriquecer el proceso de aprendizaje.	1	0
La investigación del discurso escrito en el aprendizaje de idiomas en entornos colaborativos y wiki	María Belén Díez-Bedmar Pascual Pérez-Paredes	Virtual platform Wiki Language learning E-discourse Writing skills Collaborative process	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	16 January 2010	It is a well-known fact that the use of new technologies has been instrumental in the promotion of digital literacy and collaborative language learning. Notwithstanding, Bax (2003) has seen in CMC an enormous potential in both the open and the normalization stages. Although much of the research in the past years has been geared towards web 1.0 asynchronous communication, more recent efforts have started to analyze the use on synchronous video tools (Jauregui and Bañados, 2008), blogs (Murray and Hourigan, 2008), and wikis (Lund, 2008). This paper examines a collaborative learning experience between higher institutions in the UK and Spain (academic year 2008/2009). This experience offered students the opportunity to develop their writing skill by means of a series of digital activities within which a wiki was integrated. Thus, Spanish and English students were encouraged to write a tourist brochure on a building of historic or/and artistic relevance from the other country in a collaborative way, helping the peer in the writing of the brochure and being helped in a similar way. Es bien sabido que el uso de las nuevas tecnologías ha sido instrumental en la promoción del conocimiento digital y del aprendizaje colaborativo del lenguaje. Sin embargo, Bax (2003) ha visto en la comunicación asistida por ordenador un gran potencial en las etapas abierta y de normalización. Aunque un número importante de investigaciones en los últimos años se han dedicado a la comunicación asíncrona por medio de web 1.0, los esfuerzos realizados en la actualidad han comenzado a analizar el uso de herramientas de video síncronas (Jáuregui y Bañados, 2008), blogs (Murray y Hourigan, 2008) y wikis (Lund, 2008). En este artículo presentamos una experiencia colaborativa en línea entre dos Instituciones de Educación Superior en Inglaterra y España (curso académico 2008/2009). Dicha experiencia ofreció a los alumnos la oportunidad de desarrollar su destreza escritora por medio de una serie de actividades de naturaleza digital en las que el wiki estaba integrado de forma natural. Los alumnos ingleses y españoles se embarcaron en la redacción de un folleto turístico de un monumento relevante desde el punto de vista histórico/artístico del otro país de forma colaborativa, ayudando al compañero en la redacción de su folleto y siendo ayudado de la misma manera.	1	0
Las wikis en mi experiencia docente. Del diccionario de la asignatura al diario de clase	Manuel Area Moreira	Wiki E-learning Virtual teaching Collaborative learning	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	16 January 2010	This article provides an overview of the educational possibilities of wikis pointing out the fact that they allow the development of group research projects in a socio-constructivist perspective of knowledge. Then, there are two instantiations of its use in university teaching. In one case, the wiki serves the teamwork of students for them to develop a dictionary with the most relevant concepts of the subject. In another example, the wiki is used to develop a personal diary of each student in each of the sessions. It is concluded that the wikis are highly versatile tools and have a high potential for job evaluations in that they provide teachers information about the development process of the tasks performed by the students. Se ofrece una visión general de las posibilidades educativas de las wikis destacando de las mismas que permite el desarrollo de proyectos de investigación grupales en una perspectiva socioconstructivista del conocimiento. Luego se ofrecen dos ejemplificaciones de su uso en la docencia universitaria. En un caso, la wiki está al servicio del trabajo en equipo de los estudiantes con el objetivo de que éstos elaboren un diccionario con los conceptos más relevantes de la asignatura. En el otro ejemplo, la wiki es empleada para desarrollar un diario personal por parte de cada estudiante de cada una de las sesiones presenciales. Se concluye indicando que las wikis son altamente versátiles y que tienen un alto potencial evaluativo del trabajo de los estudiantes ya que proporcionan al docente información sobre el proceso de desarrollo de las tareas realizadas por los alumnos.	4	0
Media Art Wiki. Uso de Wikis para la enseñanza interdisciplinar y multimedia del arte de los nuevos medios de comunicación en entornos virtuales de aprendizaje	Pau Alsina	Art Aesthetics New Media Multimedia Wiki	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	16 January 2010	This chapter undertakes the analysis of a pilot project based on the use of a Wiki to teach new media art practices. The project titled Media Art Wiki constitutes then a resource for teaching New Media Art and Aesthetics in the context of virtual teaching-learning at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). The initial objectives of the project were on the one hand, the creation of a dynamic and multimedia environment of new media art practices, and on the other, the design of an open and collaborative space that could be nurtured through participative action by the students from the different courses involved, contributing in this way to an interdisciplinary focus of a common subject of study. The aims of Media Art Wiki are to innovate within the virtual classroom in four different aspects: in the process, the format, the structure and the contents, in order to respond in this way to a pedagogical approach that would link each of the activities involved in the Wiki with several programs and courses. This current chapter will take into account the previous implications, which are derived from the use of this type of tool in the academic context. Thus, the chapter is structured in different sections: firstly, we trace the context where the project has been developed; its needs and objectives, considering the theories of significative learning, and its application to the teaching-learning model at the UOC. Secondly, we proceed to describe the design process of the Wiki, defining both its contents and techniques, and the didactic strategy –activities to be fulfilled by students- in the short and long term. Finally, we present the evaluation of this experience from the perspective of the scholars and students in order to conclude with some remarks and possibilities for future development. Este capítulo expone y analiza una experiencia piloto de uso de Wikis para la enseñanza de las prácticas artísticas vinculadas a los nuevos medios de comunicación digital. El denominado “Media Art Wiki” constituye un recurso para la enseñanza del Arte y la Estética de los nuevos medios en un contexto de enseñanza-aprendizaje virtual como es la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). Los objetivos iniciales del proyecto consistieron en generar un entorno dinámico de documentación multimedia de las prácticas de Arte de los nuevos medios, y a su vez, que ese espacio de contenidos abiertos pudiera alimentarse de la acción participativa y colaborativa de los estudiantes de las diferentes asignaturas implicadas, contribuyendo de este modo a un enfoque interdisciplinar de la materia común. El Media Art Wiki pretende innovar dentro del aula virtual en cuatro aspectos diferentes: proceso, formato, estructura y contenidos tratando de responder asimismo a un planteamiento pedagógico, que vincule cada una de las actividades implicadas en el Wiki con varios programas y asignaturas. En este capítulo intentaremos dar cuenta de las implicaciones del uso de este tipo de herramientas en la enseñanza universitaria, estructurando el texto en diferentes apartados que, por un lado, trazan el contexto a partir del cual surgió el proyecto, sus necesidades, objetivos y motivaciones dentro del marco teórico del aprendizaje significativo- y el contexto -modelo de enseñanza-aprendizaje- de la UOC. Por otro lado procedemos a la descripción técnica y de contenido del proyecto, así como el diseño de la estrategia didáctica y de las actividades a desarrollar por los estudiantes a corto y medio plazo. Finalmente exponemos la evaluación de dicha experiencia desde la perspectiva de los docentes y los estudiantes para llegar a plantear nuestras conclusiones y posibilidades de desarrollos de futuro.	4	0
Uso de wikis en ingeniería informática	Alicia Villanueva García	Collaborative activity Computer Science Engineering Wiki	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	16 January 2010	This work describes how to implement a collaborative activity in a last year course in Computer Science Engineering. A wiki engine is used both by the students to carry out the work, and by the lecturer to evaluate the students’ work. First of all, we present the context in which the activity is implemented: the class, students’ profile, available means and time, etc. Related to this context, we briefly describe some complementary activities that are run during the course, helping to reach the adequate atmosphere for the wiki-based collaborative activity. We have identified some aspects of the organization of the activity that heavily influence the appropriate development of the activity. We present our conclusions after analyzing the problems found during the last years, the solutions we adopted and the final results. It is important to remark the importance of the interaction of the lecturer with his students during the whole development process of the activity. Such interaction is crucial for getting a high quality work. Este texto describe la experiencia del desarrollo de una actividad de trabajo colaborativo en una asignatura del último curso de Ingeniería Informática. Los alumnos usan el wiki como un instrumento para el desarrollo de la actividad, mientras que el profesor aprovecha la tecnología wiki para hacer el seguimiento del trabajo realizado por los alumnos, proporcionando feedback a los alumnos en base a dicho seguimiento y evaluando tanto el trabajo de los estudiantes como el modo de trabajo en grupo. En primer lugar se presenta el contexto en el que se lleva a cabo la actividad. Relacionado con el contexto, describiremos cómo intentamos conseguir el clima adecuado para llevar a cabo la actividad mediante la realización de alguna actividad más breve complementaria. Describimos en detalle tanto el diseño como algunos aspectos de ejecución de la actividad que hace uso del wiki. También hablaremos de los problemas que se han presentado durante su desarrollo, de las soluciones que se han adoptado y nuestras reflexiones finales.	6	0
Wikis en lenguas para fines específicos y su traducción	Bianca Vitalaru Carmen Pena Díaz Raquel Lázaro Gutiérrez	English for specific purposes Specialized translation Specialized glossaries Collaborative writing	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	16 January 2010	Wiki Tools can become very useful for both second language teaching and learning in general, and translation, especially if we take into account the new challenges teachers have to face within the new European Space for Higher Education, in which they deal with a high number of students in class, with fewer onsite hours and with transversal competences added to an extensive programme. This is the reason why, on wiki tools, which allow work outside the classroom and through which students can carry out both individual and group projects while keeping virtual touch with their classmates and teachers are especially useful. Whereas these simple tools allow teachers to design attractive and useful activities with relatively little effort or basic IT knowledge, for the students they are a great opportunity to learn to work with IT both individually and in groups. Along this chapter we will describe the tasks and activities which were designed and put into practice for various subjects within the Master’s Degree in Intercultural Communication and Public Service Interpreting and Translation, and the English for specific purposes subjects within the undergraduate and graduate Degrees in Law at the University of Alcalá, with a special emphasis on their design process and the advantages and difficulties found, as well as the students’ response to them. Las herramientas Wiki pueden llegar a ser muy útiles tanto en la enseñanza de lenguas en general como en la traducción, sobre todo si se tiene en cuenta que, hoy en día, dentro del nuevo marco del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior, los docentes tienen que enfrentarse a dificultades como grupos numerosos de alumnos, pocas clases presenciales y competencias transversales añadidas al contenido de las materias. Por este motivo, que una herramienta como las wikis, que permita trabajar fuera del aula y con la cual el estudiante puede realizar trabajos individuales y en grupo, conectado y en contacto con el resto de sus compañeros y profesores, resulta especialmente útil. Mientras que la sencillez de estas herramientas permite al docente diseñar actividades atractivas y útiles con un esfuerzo y conocimientos tecnológicos relativamente mínimos, para los estudiantes supone una gran oportunidad para aprender a trabajar con las TIC y de manera grupal y colaborativa. En este capítulo se describen las tareas y actividades que se diseñaron y pusieron en práctica para las asignaturas del Máster Oficial en Comunicación Intercultural, Interpretación y Traducción en los Servicios Públicos y para las asignaturas de inglés para fines específicos del postgrado y grado de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de Alcalá, centrándonos de manera especial en su diseño, las dificultades y ventajas que plantearon y la respuesta que se obtuvo por parte del alumnado.	9	0
Wikis y Aprendizaje Colaborativo: Lecciones Aprendidas (y por Aprender) en la Facultad de Educación	Rocío Anguita Martínez Sara García Sastre Sara Villagrá Sobrino Iván M. Jorrín Abellán	Wiki Preservice teacher training Inquiry based learning Collaborative work	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	16 January 2010	The European Space of Higher Education (ESHE) has lead European Universities – Spanish Universities among them – to methodological changes in its conformation to the Bologna Process. These educational environments imply a new conceptualization of teaching where the New Technologies that support the teaching-learning processes play a leading role. In this current scenario, a community of faculty members at the College of Education and Social Work at the University of Valladolid (Spain) have developed a wiki-based innovation in an undergraduate course on ICT to preservice teachers. The roots of this innovation can be found in previous Computer Supported Collaborative Learning experiences carried out by the same group of teachers. This paper analyzes how a course following an Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) approach supported by an ad hoc wiki learning platform contributes to promote collaboration and critical thinking among students. El Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior ha llevado a las Universidades de toda Europa, entre ellas las españolas, a cambios metodológicos para su adaptación al Proceso de Bolonia. Estos entornos educativos suponen una nueva conceptualización de la docencia, en la que las Nuevas Tecnologías de apoyo a los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje adquieren un papel fundamental. En este escenario, una comunidad de profesores procedentes de la Facultad de Educación y Trabajo Social de la Universidad de Valladolid (UVa), vienen desarrollando desde hace años diversas innovaciones educativas en la asignatura de Nuevas Tecnologías Aplicadas a la Educación (NNTT). Innovaciones que han desencadenado en la puesta en práctica durante el curso académico 2007-2008 de una plataforma Wiki como eje transversal para el desarrollo de aprendizaje colaborativo. Este artículo analiza cómo desde una asignatura soportada por tecnología Wiki y orientada sobre los principios del aprendizaje por indagación (IBL) se puede ayudar a promover el trabajo colaborativo y el pensamiento crítico entre los estudiantes desde la apertura de posibilidades didácticas y docentes.	1	0
Wikis y el Nuevo estudiante de lenguas extranjeras	Ana Gimeno Sanz Jesús García Laborda	Wiki Language learning Teaching methods Cooperative learning	Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	16 January 2010	Digital environments are becoming increasingly used in foreign language teaching and no doubt they play a very important role as task organisers, input providers and language teaching management resources. They also enable teachers to organise the learners’ interaction and provide a remarkable framework for presenting different modes of information. Wikis are one of the increasingly used social network devices to support cooperative learning tasks in the language curriculum. They are closely associated to project-based and problem-based language learning practices where students and tutors alike contribute to the construction of knowledge and share findings. Wikis have also recently played a major role in creating communities of practice where learners can turn to for support and, in the event of self-access learning, can make up for a lack of guidance and tutor-support. In addition, the proliferation of such computer mediated communication devices have multiplied the pedagogic approaches to language learning and teaching, and have had a major influence on the emergence of a new student profile; i.e. that of the digital native who is accustomed to using such tools for social yet non-educational purposes. Lastly, through the use of wikis, the concept of “peer-to-peer” learning and “peer-tutoring” in collaborative writing environments have also largely evolved by fostering processes that support reflexive thinking and an increasing awareness of the production processes involved in writing and text editing. This article will therefore focus on 2 main aspects: a) A brief description of the main features that characterise wikis; and b) A tentative analysis of their effects on foreign and second language learning practices. Los entornos digitales cada vez son más comunes en la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras, además de jugar un papel muy importante como organizadores de tareas, proveedores de input y como gestores de recursos para la enseñanza de idiomas. Permiten, asimismo, a los profesores organizar la interacción de los estudiantes y, al mismo tiempo, proporcionar un magnífico entorno para presentar distintos géneros informativos. Las wikis son hoy en día una de las redes sociales que cada vez se utilizan más para dar apoyo al aprendizaje cooperativo y para fomentar el aprendizaje autónomo. Están estrechamente relacionadas con las metodologías docentes que se basan en el desarrollo de un proyecto o en la resolución de problemas, prácticas docentes éstas en las que tanto alumnos como profesores contribuyen a la construcción del conocimiento y comparten experiencias. Las wikis también han contribuido a crear las llamadas “comunidades de práctica”, a las que pueden acudir los estudiantes en contextos de autoaprendizaje o en aquellas situaciones donde se carece del apoyo de un tutor o profesor para encontrar apoyo y consejo. Añadido a esto, la proliferación de herramientas que fomentan la comunicación mediatizada por ordenador han multiplicado los métodos docentes que se aplican en el aula y fuera de ella y han tenido una influencia muy significativa en el surgimiento de un nuevo perfil de estudiante; es decir, aquél que está plenamente acostumbrado a utilizar estas herramientas para relacionarse socialmente con otras personas aunque no sea con fines educativos. Por último, mediante el uso de las wikis se ha desarrollado el concepto de “enseñanza entre pares” y “tutorización entre pares”, especialmente en contextos de creación de textos escritos mediante la cooperación colectiva. Este hecho ha contribuido, asimismo, a que el estudiante tenga mayor conciencia de los procesos implícitos en la construcción y edición textual. Este capítulo abarcará las wikis en términos generales y las enmarcará con respecto a las teorías sobre el aprendizaje y a las prácticas docentes.	19	0

Coisas velhas em coisas novas: novas “velhas tecnologias”	Pedro Demo	Generative internet Hacker spirit Libertarianism New technologies Abuse of freedom Innovation Continuities	Ciência da Informação	Portuguese	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

Crowdsourcing and Open Access: Collaborative Techniques for Disseminating Legal Materials and Scholarship	Timothy K. Armstrong	Open Access Peer Production Crowdsourcing Online Communities Distributed Proofreaders Wikipedia Wikisource	Santa Clara Computer and High Technology Law Journal	English	2010	This short essay surveys the state of open access to primary legal source materials (statutes, judicial opinions and the like) and legal scholarship. The ongoing digitization phenomenon (illustrated, although by no means typified, by massive scanning endeavors such as the Google Books project and the Library of Congress's efforts to digitize United States historical documents) has made a wealth of information, including legal information, freely available online, and a number of open-access collections of legal source materials have been created. Many of these collections, however, suffer from similar flaws: they devote too much effort to collecting case law rather than other authorities, they overemphasize recent works (especially those originally created in digital form), they do not adequately hyperlink between related documents in the collection, their citator functions are haphazard and rudimentary, and they do not enable easy user authentication against official reference sources. The essay explores whether some of these problems might be alleviated by enlarging the pool of contributors who are working to bring paper records into the digital era. The same "peer production" process that has allowed far-flung communities of volunteers to build large-scale informational goods like the Wikipedia encyclopedia or the Linux operating system might be harnessed to build a digital library. The essay critically reviews two projects that have sought to "crowdsource" proofreading and archiving of texts: Distributed Proofreaders, a project frequently held up as a model in the academic literature on peer production; and Wikisource, a sister site of Wikipedia that improves on Distributed Proofreaders in a number of ways. The essay concludes by offering a few illustrations meant to show the potential for using Wikisource as an open-access repository for primary source materials and scholarship, and considers some possible drawbacks of the crowdsourced approach.	4	1
Escalada do conflito em processos colaborativos online: uma análise do verbete Web 2.0 da Wikipédia	Aline de Campos	Collaboration Conflict Wikipedia	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

Improving Wikipedia's credibility: References and citations in a sample of history articles	Brendan Luyt Daniel Tan	Wikipedia Bibliographic citations Hypermedia authoring Information literacy Verification	J. Am. Soc. Inf. Sci. Technol.	English	2010	This study evaluates how well the authors of Wikipedia history articles adhere to the site’s policy of assuring verifiability through citations. It does so by examining the references and citations of a subset of country histories. The findings paint a dismal picture. Not only are many claims not verified through citations, those that are suffer from the choice of references used. Many of these are from only a few US government Websites or news media and few are to academic journal material. Given these results, one response would be to declare Wikipedia unsuitable for serious reference work. But another option emerges when we jettison technological determinism and look at Wikipedia as a product of a wider social context. Key to this context is a world in which information is bottled up as commodities requiring payment for access. Equally important is the problematic assumption that texts are undifferentiated bearers of knowledge. Those involved in instructional programs can draw attention to the social nature of texts to counter these assumptions and by so doing create an awareness for a new generation of Wikipedians and Wikipedia users of the need to evaluate texts (and hence citations) in light of the social context of their production and use.	11	1
Local studies collections, librarians and the Norwegian local history wiki	Tor Sveum	Wiki Local history Librarians Collections Bibliography	New Library World	English	2010	Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relevance of local studies collections and contributions from local studies librarians to a Norwegian local history wiki. Design/methodology/approach – The paper focuses on access to metadata in the form of bibliographies, databases and catalogues, in addition to general articles on local history. The methodological approach is qualitative and comparative based on semi-structured interviews with librarians in charge of local studies collections and with the administrators of the wiki. The study includes an analysis of a selection of local studies collections and criteria for inclusion into the local history wiki. A short comparison with history wikis in other countries is added. Findings – Local studies collections contain valuable and unique material for the wiki, especially metadata resources. The expertise of librarians could increase the value of the wiki. Generally, librarians are not active contributors. Strategies for involvement are needed. Originality/value – The paper may encourage and inspire local studies librarians to contribute actively to the wiki and incorporate relevant parts of their collections.	2	0

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

Fixing the floating gap: The online encyclopaedia Wikipedia as a global memory place	Christian Pentzold	Collective memory Consensus and contestation Discourse World Wide Web	Memory Studies	English	May 2009	The article proposes to interpret the web-based encyclopaedia Wikipedia as a global memory place. After presenting the core elements and basic characteristics of wikis and Wikipedia respectively, the article discusses four related issues of social memory studies: collective memory, communicative and cultural memory, `memory places' and the `floating gap'. In a third step, these theoretical premises are connected to the understanding of discourse as social cognition. Fourth, comparison is made between the potential of the World Wide Web as cyberspace for collective remembrance and the obstacles that stand in its way. On this basis, the article argues that Wikipedia presents a global memory place where memorable elements are negotiated. Its complex processes of discussion and article creation are a model of the discursive fabrication of memory. Thus, they can be viewed and analysed as the transition, the `floating gap' between communicative and collective frames of memory.	6	2
What’s on Wikipedia and What’s Not... ?	Cindy Royal Deepina Kapila	Completeness of information Open source Social network Wiki Wikipedia	Social Science Computer Review	English	February 2009	The World Wide Web continues to grow closer to achieving the vision of becoming the repository of all human knowledge, as features and applications that support user-generated content become more prevalent. Wikipedia is fast becoming an important resource for news and information. It is an online information source that is increasingly used as the first, and sometimes only, stop for online encyclopedic information. Using a method employed by Tankard and Royal to judge completeness of Web content, completeness of information on Wikipedia is assessed. Some topics are covered more comprehensively than others, and the predictors of these biases include recency, importance, population, and financial wealth. Wikipedia is more a socially produced document than a value-free information source. It reflects the viewpoints, interests, and emphases of the people who use it.	0	1
Building a Networked Environment in Wikis: The Evolving Phases of Collaborative Learning in a Wikibook Project	Hong Lin Kathleen Kelsey		Journal of Educational Computing Research	English	2009	Wikis, when used as an open editing tool, can have profound and subtle effects on students' collaborative learning process. Hailed as a collaborative learning and writing tool, many questions remain regarding the pedagogical impacts of using wikis in the classroom. Do students feel comfortable editing each others' wiki articles? Do students learn collaboratively and construct knowledge for the community? What challenges did they experience in a networked environment? This study addressed these questions using qualitative methods, including multiple semi-structured interviews and student reflective journals, for analysis. The findings challenge idealistic hypotheses that wiki work, without careful design and implementation, is naturally beneficial. It was also found that collaborative writing and learning were the exception rather than the norm among participants in the early stages of wiki work. It is recommended that instructors provide highly supportive learning experiences to teach students how to use wikis and how to work collaboratively when implementing wikis to maximize the benefits of this emerging tool.	16	0
Collaboration, editing, transparency: challenges and possibilities of a wikification of journalism	Carlos Frederico de Brito d’Andréa	Wiki-journalism Wikipedia Editing Collaborative journalism	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

DBpedia – A Crystallization Point for the Web of Data	Christian Bizer Jens Lehmann Georgi Kobilarov Sören Auer Christian Becker Richard Cyganiak Sebastian Hellmann	Web of data Linked data Knowledge Extraction Wikipedia RDF	Journal of Web Semantics: Science, Services and Agents on the World Wide Web	English	2009	The DBpedia project is a community effort to extract structured information from Wikipedia and to make this information accessible on the Web. The resulting DBpedia knowledge base currently describes over 2.6 million entities. For each of these entities, DBpedia defines a globally unique identifier that can be dereferenced over the Web into a rich RDF description of the entity, including human-readable definitions in 30 languages, relationships to other resources, classifications in four concept hierarchies, various facts as well as data-level links to other Web data sources describing the entity. Over the last year, an increasing number of data publishers have begun to set data-level links to DBpedia resources, making DBpedia a central interlinking hub for the emerging Web of data. Currently, the Web of interlinked data sources around DBpedia provides approximately 4.7 billion pieces of information and covers domains such as geographic information, people, companies, films, music, genes, drugs, books, and scientific publications. This article describes the extraction of the DBpedia knowledge base, the current status of interlinking DBpedia with other data sources on the Web, and gives an overview of applications that facilitate the Web of Data around DBpedia.	0	0
Design Alternatives for a MediaWiki to Support Collaborative Writing in Higher Education Classes	Sumonta Kasemvilas Lorne Olfman	Awareness Collaborative writing Constructivist learning Design science research Talk page Evaluation MediaWiki Project management Web 2.0	Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology	English	2009	Constructivist learning mechanisms such as collaborative writing have emerged as a result of the development of Web 2.0 technologies. We define the term mandatory collaborative writing to describe a writing activity where the group has a firm deadline. Our study focuses on how a wiki can fully support mandatory group writing. The motivation of this design science research study emerges from a graduate Knowledge Management class assignment to write a wiki book. The project outcome shows that the wiki instance used for the project, MediaWiki, could better facilitate the process with a set of extensions that support discussion, evaluation, and project management. We outline designs for these mechanisms: 1) a discussion mechanism that changes the way users discuss content on a wiki page and increases group awareness; 2) an evaluation mechanism that provides a tool for the instructor to monitor and assess students’ performance; and 3) a project management tool that increases awareness of the status of each component of the writing project and provides an overall summary of the project. A demonstration of the principles to a focus group provided a basic proof of the validity of these mechanisms.	16	1

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

La négociation des points de vue	Nicolas Auray		Réseaux	French	2009	The on-line encyclopaedia Wikipedia is a pragmatic patchwork, an assemblage of many singular points of view on a given subject, based on rules of clarity and communicability of public statements. Its success reflects a transformation of our relationship with knowledge. In this article the authors use a social map of the conflicts in the on-line encyclopaedia to study the places where discussion tilts into dispute, quarrels and complaints for moral misconduct or disturbance. Based on statistics and focused monographs, they show that the Wikipedia is characterized by the inability to solve certain conflicts through existing procedures, and explore the reasons for this phenomenon.	0	0
La vigilance participative	Dominique Cardon Julien Levrel		Réseaux	French	2009	This article proposes an interpretation of the Wikipedia model of coordination and governance, focused on the forms of vigilance that Wikipedians use to monitor and control other contributors. Wikipedia’s procedural system of self-regulation solves conflicts through discussion, mediation and sanctions, by organizing tension between the local control of statements and the centralized measures against those who repeatedly contravene the encyclopaedia’s principles. The authors describe the architecture of the arenas and rules that make it possible to solve publishing conflicts without transgressing the principle of an unconditional openness to everyone’s right to contribute and to monitor others.	18	0
Les sciences de l'information et des bibliothèques au prisme de Wikipédia	Rémi Mathis Olivier Morand		Bulletin des bibliothèques de France	French	2009	Cet article s'intéresse à la représentation de la sphère bibliothéconomique sur Wikipédia. Après un rappel des tentatives d'organisation du travail sur les thématiques bibliothéconomiques, il dresse un état des lieux fondé sur les articles liés au portail « Sciences de l'information et des bibliothèques ». Il montre que le déficit d'image des sciences de l'information sur Wikipédia est en grande partie lié aux relations ambiguës entre la communauté wikipédienne et le monde des bibliothèques et plaide pour une meilleure appropriation de cette encyclopédie en ligne par les bibliothécaires.	0	0

Voluntary Engagement in an Open Web-Based Encyclopedia: Wikipedians and Why They Do It	Joachim Schroer Guido Hertel			English	2009	The online encyclopedia Wikipedia is a highly successful “open content” project, written and maintained completely by volunteers. Little is known, however, about the motivation of these volunteers. Results from an online survey among 106 contributors to the German Wikipedia project are presented. Both motives derived from social sciences (perceived benefits, identification with Wikipedia, etc.) as well as perceived task characteristics (autonomy, skill variety, etc.) were assessed as potential predictors of contributors' satisfaction and self-reported engagement. Satisfaction ratings were particularly determined by perceived benefits, identification with the Wikipedia community, and task characteristics. Engagement was particularly determined by high tolerance for opportunity costs and by task characteristics, the latter effect being partially mediated by intrinsic motivation. Relevant task characteristics for contributors' engagement and satisfaction were perceived autonomy, task significance, skill variety, and feedback. Models from social sciences and work psychology complemented each other by suggesting that favorable task experiences might counter perceived opportunity costs in Wikipedia contributors. Moreover, additional data reported by Wikipedia authors indicate the importance of generativity motives.	0	1

Wikipedia’s Labor Squeeze and its Consequences	Eric Goldman	Wikipedia User generated content UGC Web 2.0 Peer production Wiki Online Volunteer	Journal of Telecommunications and High Technology Law	English	2009	This essay explains why Wikipedia will not be able to maintain a credible website while simultaneously letting anyone freely edit it. To date, Wikipedia editors have successfully defended against malicious attacks from spammers and vandals, but as editors turn over, Wikipedia will need to recruit replacements. However, Wikipedia will have difficulty with this recruiting task due to its limited incentives for participation. Faced with a potential labor squeeze, Wikipedia will choose to restrict users’ ability to contribute to the site as a way of preserving site credibility. Wikipedia’s specific configuration choices make it an interesting test case to evaluate the tension between free editability and site credibility, and this Essay touches on how this tension affects user-generated content (UGC) generally.	0	2
Wikis e innovación docente	Guzmán Mancho Barés María Dolores Porto Requejo Carmen Valero Garcés	Wiki Teaching innovation ESHE	Red U - Revista de Docencia Universitaria	Spanish	2009	The European Space for Higher Education requires a change in the traditional teaching methodologies that can be helped by the new technologies. The Web 2.0 provides a great number of possibilities to make the student an active agent in the learning process, but the wiki technology seems to best adapt the most recent teaching needs, such as the generic competences for the integral formation of the students which go beyond the specific knowledge of a particular subject. University teachers are beginning to experience wikis in their subjects, but the institutional support is not enough to make the use of wikis general in all Spanish universities.	10	0

Wikiversity; or education meets the free culture movement: An ethnographic investigation	Norm Friesen Janet Hopkins		First Monday	English	6 October 2008	Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, has challenged the way that reference works are used and understood, and even the way that the collective enterprise of knowledge construction and circulation is itself conceptualized. The article presents an ethnographic study of Wikiversity, an educationally–oriented sister project to Wikipedia. It begins by providing an overview of the orientations and aims of Wikiversity, which seeks to provide for participants both open educational contents and an open educational community. It then undertakes a detailed examination of this project’s emerging, overlapping communities and cultures by providing descriptions produced through a combination of ethnographic techniques. These descriptions focus on the experiences of a participant–observer in the context of an 11–week course developed and delivered via Wikiversity, titled Composing Free and Open Online Educational Resources. These descriptions are discussed and interpreted through reference to qualitative studies of the more developed dynamics of the Wikipedia effort — allowing this study to trace the possible trajectories for the future development of the fledgling Wikiversity project. In this way, this paper investigates the communal and cultural dynamics of an undertaking that — should it meet only with a fraction of Wikipedia’s success — will be of obvious significance to education generally.	2	0

Wikibooks in higher education: Empowerment through online distributed collaboration	Gilad Ravid Yoram M. Kalman Sheizaf Rafaeli	E-book Wiki Empowerment Education Computer-mediated communication	Computers in Human Behavior	English	September 2008	In this case study, wiki technology was applied to the development of an introductory academic textbook on information systems. While the development, production and distribution of traditional textbooks are influenced by commercial interests, the wikitextbook was developed collaboratively by faculty and by students, and was made available online free of charge. After about two years of activity, the wikitextbook accumulated 564 sub-chapters, co-authored by undergraduate and graduate students in more than 20 classes offered by seven academic departments across three Israeli universities. We discuss the potential of wikitextbooks as vehicles of empowerment to students, teachers, and the discipline. This type of collaborative online technology intimates an influence on the status-quo in academic education in favor of less empowered stakeholders. However, caution is advised in drawing premature conclusions from results reported here. The implementation of wikitextbook should be augmented by a careful study of cultural, societal, behavioral and pedagogic variables.	0	2
The RNA WikiProject: community annotation of RNA families	Jennifer Daub Paul P. Gardner John Tate Daniel Ramsköld Magnus Manske William G. Scott Zasha Weinberg Sam Griffiths-Jones Alex Bateman	RNA annotation RNA databases Wikipedia	RNA	English	29 August 2008	The online encyclopedia Wikipedia has become one of the most important online references in the world and has a substantial and growing scientific content. A search of Google with many RNA-related keywords identifies a Wikipedia article as the top hit. We believe that the RNA community has an important and timely opportunity to maximize the content and quality of RNA information in Wikipedia. To this end, we have formed the RNA WikiProject (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_RNA) as part of the larger Molecular and Cellular Biology WikiProject. We have created over 600 new Wikipedia articles describing families of noncoding RNAs based on the Rfam database, and invite the community to update, edit, and correct these articles. The Rfam database now redistributes this Wikipedia content as the primary textual annotation of its RNA families. Users can, therefore, for the first time, directly edit the content of one of the major RNA databases. We believe that this Wikipedia/Rfam link acts as a functioning model for incorporating community annotation into molecular biology databases.	0	2

'Wikivism': From communicative capitalism to organized networks	Paul Stacey	Politics Internet Wiki Hypertextual Organization Postrepresentative	Cultural Poltics	English	2008	This article examines two different approaches to the political significance of networked technologies like the Internet. It considers Richard Kahn and Douglas Kellner’s “critical/reconstructive” methodology and Jodi Dean’s account of “communicative capitalism,” and shows how the respective approaches are insufficient to elucidate the genuinely radical possibilities we may harbor for the Internet. The case study of “hypertextual databases” or “wikis” is used, both to contextualize the limitations of the above arguments and to present a more radical overture for thinking about network politics. I also utilize Ned Rossiter’s concept of “organized networks” and show how these social-technical forms can provide a more radical proposition for thinking about the political possibilities of wikis. I proceed to translate wikis as specific kinds of organized networks that take us beyond a purely perfunctory language – whether as “information-rich data banks” or else animating the “fantasy of abundance” – and allow us to see them in a decidedly “political” way, as necessarily “incomplete” and thus eminently “rewritable” formations. This essay then concludes by examining the wider implications this “political” reading has for the way in which we understand the multiple situations of nascent forms of democratic politics.	2	1
Comparison of Wikipedia and other encyclopedias for accuracy, breadth, and depth in historical articles	Lucy Holman Rector	Encyclopedia Reference services	Reference Services Review	English	2008	Purpose – This paper seeks to provide reference librarians and faculty with evidence regarding the comprehensiveness and accuracy of Wikipedia articles compared with respected reference resources. Design/methodology/approach – This content analysis evaluated nine Wikipedia articles against comparable articles in Encyclopaedia Britannica, The Dictionary of American History and American National Biography Online in order to compare Wikipedia's comprehensiveness and accuracy. The researcher used a modification of a stratified random sampling and a purposive sampling to identify a variety of historical entries and compared each text in terms of depth, accuracy, and detail. Findings – The study did reveal inaccuracies in eight of the nine entries and exposed major flaws in at least two of the nine Wikipedia articles. Overall, Wikipedia's accuracy rate was 80 percent compared with 95-96 percent accuracy within the other sources. This study does support the claim that Wikipedia is less reliable than other reference resources. Furthermore, the research found at least five unattributed direct quotations and verbatim text from other sources with no citations. Research limitations/implications – More research must be undertaken to analyze Wikipedia entries in other disciplines in order to judge the source's accuracy and overall quality. This paper also shows the need for analysis of Wikipedia articles' histories and editing process. Practical implications – This research provides a methodology for further content analysis of Wikipedia articles. Originality/value – Although generalizations cannot be made from this paper alone, the paper provides empirical data to support concerns regarding the accuracy and authoritativeness of Wikipedia.	0	0

Incorporating wikis into the teaching of English writing	David Coniam Mark Lee Wai Kit	English as a second language Writing skills in English Wiki Collaborative learning	Hong Kong Teachers’ Centre Journal	English	2008	Many teachers of English as a second language (ESL) have begun to perceive the place of collaborative writing in the teaching of writing. With the development of Internet-based resources such as blogs and forums, learners have begun to adapt to online writing and to use tools that supports such activity. Teachers are beginning to perceive the value of this and consequently such resources have begun to be incorporated into the teaching of ESL writing by getting students - as yet, mainly on an individual basis - to write e-mails, express their ideas on forums, and create web pages. An extension to these individual writing activities involves the incorporation of Internet resources into cooperative writing, where more than one learner produces a text jointly. The current study explores these issues in the use of wikis, and how wikis may be utilised in a group writing task. The paper describes a case study in a Hong Kong postsecondary institute where over the course of a month, groups of learners produced a report based on survey data they had collected. The outcome of the project was generally successful - in that groups produced more cogent documents than had previous groups who had worked in a pen-and-paper format. Nonetheless, a number of issues concerning the running of the project arose that need to be addressed for collaborative writing with wikis to be successfully implemented. While the study took place in a post-secondary institute, the use of wikis holds good across secondary level forms, with implications for their use at different levels discussed and elaborated.	10	1
Toward an epistemology of Wikipedia	Don Fallis		Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology	English	2008	Wikipedia (the “free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit”) is having a huge impact on how a great many people gather information about the world. So, it is important for epistemologists and information scientists to ask whether people are likely to acquire knowledge as a result of having access to this information source. In other words, is Wikipedia having good epistemic consequences? After surveying the various concerns that have been raised about the reliability of Wikipedia, this article argues that the epistemic consequences of people using Wikipedia as a source of information are likely to be quite good. According to several empirical studies, the reliability of Wikipedia compares favorably to the reliability of traditional encyclopedias. Furthermore, the reliability of Wikipedia compares even more favorably to the reliability of those information sources that people would be likely to use if Wikipedia did not exist (viz., Web sites that are as freely and easily accessible as Wikipedia). In addition, Wikipedia has a number of other epistemic virtues (e.g., power, speed, and fecundity) that arguably outweigh any deficiency in terms of reliability. Even so, epistemologists and information scientists should certainly be trying to identify changes (or alternatives) to Wikipedia that will bring about even better epistemic consequences. This article suggests that to improve Wikipedia, we need to clarify what our epistemic values are and to better understand why Wikipedia works as well as it does.	0	2
Visual analysis of controversy in user-generated encyclopedias	Ulrik Brandes Jürgen Lerner	Wikipedia Social network analysis Controversy	Information Visualization	English	2008	Wikipedia is a large and rapidly growing Web-based collaborative authoring environment, where anyone on the Internet can create, modify, and delete pages about encyclopedic topics. A remarkable property of some Wikipedia pages is that they are written by up to thousands of authors who may have contradicting opinions. In this paper, we show that a visual analysis of the 'who revises whom'-network gives deep insight into controversies. We propose a set of analysis and visualization techniques that reveal the dominant authors of a page, the roles they play, and the alters they confront. Thereby we provide tools to understand how Wikipedia authors collaborate in the presence of controversy.	12	4

Ler, escrever, editar comentar, voltar... Os desafios do letramento digital na web 2.0	Carlos Frederico de Brito d’Andréa	Digital literacy Web 2.0 Internet	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

Wikis in Libraries	Matthew M. Bejune		Information Technology & Libraries	English	September 2007	Wikis have recently been adopted to support a variety of collaborative activities within libraries. This article and its companion wiki, Library Wikis (http://librarywikis.pbwiki.com/), seek to document the phenomenon of wikis in libraries. This subject is considered within the framework of computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW). The author identified thirty-three library wikis and developed a classification schema with four categories: (1) collaboration among libraries (45.7 percent); (2) collaboration among library staff (31.4 percent); (3) collaboration among library staff and patrons (14.3 percent); and (4) collaboration among patrons (8.6 percent). Examples of library wikis are presented within the article, as is a discussion for why wikis are primarily utilized within categories I and II and not within categories III and IV. It is clear that wikis have great utility within libraries, and the author urges further application of wikis in libraries.	6	0
Scientific citations in Wikipedia	Finn Årup Nielsen		First Monday	English	6 August 2007	The Internet–based encyclopædia Wikipedia has grown to become one of the most visited Web sites on the Internet, but critics have questioned the quality of entries. An empirical study of Wikipedia found errors in a 2005 sample of science entries. Biased coverage and lack of sources are among the “Wikipedia risks.” This paper describes a simple assessment of these aspects by examining the outbound links from Wikipedia articles to articles in scientific journals with a comparison against journal statistics from Journal Citation Reports such as impact factors. The results show an increasing use of structured citation markup and good agreement with citation patterns seen in the scientific literature though with a slight tendency to cite articles in high–impact journals such as Nature and Science. These results increase confidence in Wikipedia as a reliable information resource for science in general.	7	5
A participação do público no Wikinews e no Kuro5hin	Marcelo Ruschel Träsel	Journalism Online Journalism Grassroots Content Analysis Interaction	E-Compós	Portuguese	August 2007	This paper presents the results of a mastership research focused on the interventions of collaborators over journalistic material published in the grassroots news sites Wikinews and Kuro5hin. 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
Wiki-Philosophizing in a Marketplace of Ideas: Evaluating Wikipedia’s Entries on Seven Great Minds	George Bragues	Wikipedia Information Information Market Encyclopedia Media New Media Participatory Media Philosophy Marketplace of Ideas	SSRN Electronic Journal	English	3 April 2007	A very conspicuous part of the new participatory media, Wikipedia has emerged as the Internet's leading source of all-purpose information, the volume and range of its articles far surpassing that of its traditional rival, the Encyclopedia Britannica. This has been accomplished by permitting virtually anyone to contribute, either by writing an original article or editing an existing one. With almost no entry barriers to the production of information, the result is that Wikipedia exhibits a perfectly competitive marketplace of ideas. It has often been argued that such a marketplace is the best guarantee that quality information will be generated and disseminated. We test this contention by examining Wikipedia's entries on seven top Western philosophers. These entries are evaluated against the consensus view elicited from four academic reference works in philosophy. Wikipedia's performance turns out to be decidedly mixed. Its average coverage rate of consensus topics is 52%, while the median rate is 56%. A qualitative analysis uncovered no outright errors, though there were significant omissions. The online encyclopedia's harnessing of the marketplace of ideas, though not unimpressive, fails to emerge as clearly superior to the traditional alternative of relying on individual expertise for information.	7	1

Some Experiments in Humour Recognition Using the Italian Wikiquote Collection	Davide Buscaldi Paolo Rosso		Lecture Notes in Computer Science	English	2007	In this paper we present some results obtained in humour classification over a corpus of Italian quotations manually extracted and tagged from the Wikiquote project. The experiments were carried out using both a multinomial Naïve Bayes classifier and a Support Vector Machine (SVM). The considered features range from single words to n-grams and sentence length. The obtained results show that it is possible to identify the funny quotes even with the simplest features (bag of words); the bayesian classifier performed better than the SVM. However, the size of the corpus size is too small to support definitive assertions.	0	0

An empirical exploration of Wikipedia's credibility	Thomas Chesney		First Monday	English	6 November 2006	Wikipedia is an free, online encyclopaedia; anyone can add content or edit existing content. The idea behind Wikipedia is that members of the general public can add their own personal knowledge, anonymously if they wish. Wikipedia then evolves over time into a comprehensive knowledge base on all things. Its popularity has never been questioned, although some have speculated about its authority. By its own admission, Wikipedia contains errors. A number of people have tested Wikipedia’s accuracy using destructive methods, i.e. deliberately inserting errors. This has been criticised by Wikipedia. This short study examines Wikipedia’s credibility by asking 258 research staff with a response rate of 21 percent, to read an article and assess its credibility, the credibility of its author and the credibility of Wikipedia as a whole. Staff were either given an article in their own expert domain or a random article. No difference was found between the two group in terms of their perceived credibility of Wikipedia or of the articles’ authors, but a difference was found in the credibility of the articles — the experts found Wikipedia’s articles to be more credible than the non–experts. This suggests that the accuracy of Wikipedia is high. However, the results should not be seen as support for Wikipedia as a totally reliable resource as, according to the experts, 13 percent of the articles contain mistakes.	0	0

L'édition de référence libre et collaborative : le cas de Wikipédia	Laure Endrizzi	Wikipedia Encyclopedia Wiki Édition numérique Travail collaboratif Savoirs Communauté d'apprentissage	Les dossiers de la veille	French	March 2006	L'année 2005 a été particulièrement riche en débats et controverses sur l'encyclopédie libre Wikipedia. Alors que l'attention des médias grands publics et les réactions des traditionnels médiateurs du savoir restent le plus souvent mobilisées par des affaires de vandalisme et plus généralement par des problèmes de fiabilité et de qualité, les usages ne cessent de se développer. Le nombre total d'articles sur l'ensemble des versions est passé de 1 million 400.000 à 3 millions 400.000 en l'espace d'un an. Cette croissance exponentielle des contenus s'accompagne d'une augmentation forte de la fréquentation, plaçant l'encyclopédie parmi les 25 sites les plus visités au monde selon le baromètre Alexa avec un trafic très largement supérieur à celui d'autres sites de référence tels que Britannica par exemple. Parallèlement, si les recherches sur les blogs et les logiciels sociaux bénéficient d'un certain attrait, la communauté scientifique ne s'intéresse encore guère aux wikis et très marginalement à Wikipedia. Les premières éditions des conférences Wikimania (août 2005) et Wikisym (octobre 2005) laissent à penser que les jalons sont posés pour analyser les enjeux et le fonctionnement de ce phénomène éditorial sans précédent. Par ailleurs, la mutualisation s'opère aussi au sein même du Wikimedia Research Network, association qui regroupe les chercheurs travaillant sur Wikipedia ou bien d'autres projets de la fondation Wikimedia (cf. bibliographie du WRN). Nous nous attacherons dans cette synthèse à mettre en perspective les premières recherches sur Wikipedia avec les principales prises de position relayées par les médias traditionnels et l'internet. Le lecteur ne s'étonnera pas de voir se côtoyer des travaux de chercheurs - quelquefois jeunes et méconnus - avec quelques articles de la presse généraliste ou spécialisée mais aussi avec des réactions et analyses d'acteurs de l'édition de référence (producteurs et prescripteurs). Ces dernières références seront matérialisées dans le texte par des crochets et un astérisque : [Auteur, année]* ; elles renverront à la partie « débats et réflexions » de la bibliographie. (Ce travail a été réalisé dans le cadre d'un partenariat entre l'INRP et l'équipe LIRE de l'université Lyon 2 pour le projet de recherche ENCYCLEN - encyclopédies en ligne -, retenu par l'ACI Education et Formation en 2004).	0	0

Motivations of contributors to Wikipedia	Stacey Kuznetsov	Wikipedia Motivation Value sensitive design	SIGCAS	English	2006	This paper aims to explain why people are motivated to contribute to the Wikipedia project. A comprehensive analysis of the motivations of Wikipedians is conducted using the iterative methodology developed by Batya Friedman and Peter Kahn in Value Sensitive Design and Information Systems and co-developed by Nissenbaum and Friedman in Bias in Computer Systems. The Value Sensitive Design (VSD) approach consists of three stages: Empirical Investigation, Conceptual Investigation, and Technical Investigation. During the empirical phase, motivations of the contributors to Wikipedia are identified through analysis of data from two published surveys and a pilot survey conducted at New York University. The underlying values behind these motivations are then defined in the conceptual phase of the study. Finally, a technical investigation is conducted in order to determine how features of the Wiki technology support and facilitate these values.	0	2

Wikipédia - Une encyclopédie libre, gratuite et écrite coopérativement	Alain Caraco		Bulletin des bibliothèques de France	French	2004	Collection encyclopédique elle-même, la bibliothèque publique est depuis toujours un lieu de consultation des encyclopédies. Wikipédia est une encyclopédie libre, gratuite et écrite coopérativement. À première vue, ce projet paraît nettement utopiste, voire critiquable. Pourtant, international et multilingue, il fonctionne et connaît une croissance rapide. Il utilise la technologie Wiki et est publié sous licence de documentation libre. D'ici quelques années, voire quelques mois, Wikipédia pourrait avoir une place importante dans les bibliothèques. Les bibliothécaires francophones pourraient l'améliorer en y contribuant.	0	0
Phantom authority, self–selective recruitment and retention of members in virtual communities: The case of Wikipedia	Andrea Ciffolilli		First Monday	English	1 December 2003	Virtual communities constitute a building block of the information society. These organizations appear capable to guarantee unique outcomes in voluntary association since they cancel physical distance and ease the process of searching for like-minded individuals. In particular, open source communities, devoted to the collective production of public goods, show efficiency properties far superior to the traditional institutional solutions to the public goods issue (e.g. property rights enforcement and secrecy). This paper employs team and club good theory as well as transaction cost economics to analyse the Wikipedia online community, which is devoted to the creation of a free encyclopaedia. An interpretative framework explains the outstanding success of Wikipedia thanks to a novel solution to the problem of graffiti attacks - the submission of undesirable pieces of information. Indeed, Wiki technology reduces the transaction cost of erasing graffiti and therefore prevents attackers from posting unwanted contributions. The issue of the sporadic intervention of the highest authority in the system is examined, and the relatively more frequent local interaction between users is emphasized. The constellation of different motivations that participants may have is discussed, and the barriers-free recruitment process analysed. A few suggestions, meant to encourage long term sustainability of knowledge assemblages, such as Wikipedia, are provided. Open issues and possible directions for future research are also discussed.	0	3
Open source intelligence	Felix Stalder Jesse Hirsh	Academic peer review Article Free sharing of information GNU encyclopedia Nettime NoLogo.org Nupedia Open source intelligence Open Source movement Open source software OS-INT OSS Social community Technology Wikipedia Wikiweb	First Monday	English	3 June 2002	The Open Source movement has established over the last decade a new collaborative approach, uniquely adapted to the Internet, to developing high-quality informational products. Initially, its exclusive application was the development of software (GNU/Linux and Apache are among the most prominent projects), but increasingly we can observe this collaborative approach being applied to areas beyond the coding of software. One such area is the collaborative gathering and analysis of information, a practice we term "Open Source Intelligence". In this article, we use three case studies - the nettime mailing list, the Wikipedia project and the NoLogo Web site - to show some the breadth of contexts and analyze the variety of socio-technical approaches that make up this emerging phenomenon.	0	2
