Wikiplorer: Knowledge Exploration Using Wikipedia Link - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2014, written by Manjai Lee.

Overview

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia developed using collective intelligence of internet users. The number of Korean version of Wikipedia articles is small compared to English Wikipedia but Korean Wikipedia is useful for Korean community because it uses the Korean character. Almost all Wikipedia article is linked to other articles through hyperlinks. These link information is however, only used to navigate through other articles. Wikplorer is a program that can visualize the network structure and increase the value of Wikipedia exploration. Using initial part of article, each article is classified by its type, such as people, group, event, or geography. When there are too many nodes or edges to visualize the network, heuristics are used to reduce the number of edges or nodes. Wikiplorer has been developed with Python 3.4, which has utf-8 unicode string handling and dictionary features. Wikiplorer provides full human interaction by coding all key function in python code.
