Wikipedia World Map: Method and Application of Map-Like Wiki Visualization - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2011, written by Cheong-Iao Pang and Robert P. Biuk-Aghai.
Overview
Wiki are popular platforms for collaborative editing. In volunteer-driven wikis such as Wikipedia, which attracts millions of authors editing articles on a diverse range of topics, contributors' editing activity results in certain semantic coverage of topic areas. Obtaining an understanding of a given wiki's semantic coverage is not easy. To solve this problem, authors have devised a method for visualizing a wiki in a way similar to a geographic map. Authors have applied method to Wikipedia, and generated visualizations for several Wikipedia language editions. This paper presents wiki visualization method and its application.
