Supporting Navigation in Large Document Corpora of Online Communities: a Case-Study on the Categorization of the English Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2007, written by Viktor Gál, Domonkos Tikk and György Biró.

Overview

In this paper authors present a categorization-based method for supporting navigation in large document corpora that are created, collected, revised, tagged etc. by independent individuals forming an online community. Users often face the problem of redundancy when intend to contribute to the content created by a community. Since different people have different skills and background use of terminology, one may easily ‘reinvent the wheel’ when adding seemingly new, but semantically duplicated content to an opened document corpus. This reduces the usability and coherence, hence decreases the quality of the corpus. One way to minimize the risk of such problem is to support the users with navigational and searching facilities in the corpus. Authors paper proposes to exploit any available topical structure to build a category-based model of the corpus, and to apply categorization for new contents. Authors performed a case-study on the English Wikipedia, one of the largest online document corpora, which shows that methodology can be useful for regular users, as well as for administrators. The category-based model was build by the HITEC document processing and categorization framework.
