Evaluating the Value of Lensing Wikipedia During the Information Seeking Process - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2017, written by Orland Hoeber, Anoop Sarkar, Andrei Vacariu, Max Whitney, Manali Gaikwad and Gursimran Kaur.
Overview
While Wikipedia is an excellent source of information about entities, discovering relationships among them is not well-supported by its search features. Lensing Wikipedia was designed as an alternate search and summarization interface, providing a set of filtering, visualization, and exploration tools that enable searching among the connections between people, organizations, and locations. In this paper, authors present the results of a user study on how these features are used in each of Vakkari's stages of information seeking (pre-focus, focus formulation, and post-focus), and the participants perceptions of the utility of these features to their overall information-seeking goals. Participants primarily used input and control features during the pre-focus stage, informational and personalization features during the focus formulation stage, and personalization features during the post-focus stage. Findings from this study contribute to understanding how people use advanced search, summarization, and visualization tools to aid their information seeking tasks.
