Computational Trust in Web Content Quality: A Comparative Evalutation on the Wikipedia Project - scientific work about Wikipedia quality published in 2007, written by Pierpaolo Dondio and Stephen C. Barrett.
Overview
The problem of identifying useful and trustworthy information on the World Wide Web is becoming increasingly acute as new tools such as wikis and blogs simplify and democratize publication. It is not hard to predict that in the future the direct reliance on this material will expand and the problem of evaluating the trustworthiness of this kind of content become crucial. The Wikipedia project represents the most successful and discussed example of such online resources. In this paper authors present a method to predict Wikipedia articles trustworthiness based on computational trust techniques and a deep domain-specific analysis. Their assumption is that a deeper understanding of what in general defines high-standard and expertise in domains related to Wikipedia ñ i.e. content quality in a collaborative environment ñmapped onto Wikipedia elements would lead to a complete set of mechanisms to sustain trust in Wikipedia context. Authors present a series of experiment. The first is a study-case over a specific category of articles; the second is an evaluation over 8 000 articles representing 65% of the overall Wikipedia editing activity. Authors report encouraging results on the automated evaluation of Wikipedia content using their domain-specific expertise method. Finally, in order to appraise the value added by using domain-specific expertise, authors compare their results with the ones obtained with a pre-processed cluster analysis, where complex expertise is mostly replaced by training and automatic classification of common features.
