'''Taxonomy and Clustering in Collaborative Systems: the Case of the On-Line Encyclopedia Wikipedia''' - scientific work related to [[Wikipedia quality]] published in 2008, written by [[Andrea Capocci]], [[Francesco Rao]] and [[Guido Caldarelli]].

== Overview ==
In this paper authors investigate the nature and structure of the relation between imposed classifications and real clustering in a particular case of a scale-free network given by the on-line encyclopedia [[Wikipedia]]. Authors find a statistical similarity in the distributions of community sizes both by using the top-down approach of the [[categories]] division present in the archive and in the bottom-up procedure of community detection given by an algorithm based on the spectral properties of the graph. Regardless of the statistically similar behaviour, the two methods provide a rather different division of the articles, thereby signaling that the nature and presence of power laws is a general feature for these systems and cannot be used as a benchmark to evaluate the suitability of a clustering method.
