Wikipedia as a Source of Ontological Knowledge: State of the Art and Application - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2010, written by Angela Fogarolli.

Overview

This chapter motivates that Wikipedia can be used as a source of knowledge for creating semantic enabled applications, and consists of two parts. First, authors provide an overview over different research fields which attempt to extract knowledge encoded by humans inside Wikipedia. The extracted knowledge can then be used for creating a new generation of intelligent applications based on the collaborative character of Wikipedia, rather than on domain ontologies which require the intervention of knowledge engineers and domain experts. Second, as a proof of concept, authors describe an application whose intelligent behavior is achieved by using Wikipedia knowledge for automatic annotation and representation of multimedia presentations.
