The Impact of Culture on Smart Community Technology: the Case of 13 Wikipedia Instances - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2014, written by Zinayida Petrushyna, Ralf Klamma and Matthias Jarke.

Overview

Smart communities provide technologies for monitoring social behaviors inside communities. The technologies that support knowledge building should consider the cultural background of community members. The studies of the influence of the culture on knowledge building is limited. Just a few works consider digital traces of individuals that they explain using cultural values and beliefs. In this work, authors analyze 13 Wikipedia instances where users with different cultural background build knowledge in different ways. Authors compare edits of users. Using social network analysis authors build and analyze co- authorship networks and watch the networks evolution. Authors explain the differences authors have found using Hofstede dimensions and Schwartz cultural values and discuss implications for the design of smart community technologies. Authors findings provide insights in requirements for technologies used for smart communities in different cultures.
