Enabling the Discovery of Digital Cultural Heritage Objects Through Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by Mark M. Hall, Oier Lopez de Lacalle, Aitor Soroa Etxabe, Paul D. Clough and Eneko Agirre.

Overview

Over the past years large digital cultural heritage collections have become increasingly available. While these provide adequate search functionality for the expert user, this may not offer the best support for non-expert or novice users. In this paper authors propose a novel mechanism for introducing new users to the items in a collection by allowing them to browse Wikipedia articles, which are augmented with items from the cultural heritage collection. Using Europeana as a case-study authors demonstrate the effectiveness of approach for encouraging users to spend longer exploring items in Europeana compared with the existing search provision.
