Learning to Integrate Relational Databases with Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2009, written by Doug Downey, Arun Ahuja and Michael R. Anderson.
Overview
Wikipedia is a general encyclopedia of unprecedented breadth and popularity. However, much of the Web’s factual information still lies within relational databases, each focused on a specific topic. While many database entities are described by corresponding Wikipedia pages, in general this correspondence is unknown unless it has been manually specified. As a result, Web databases cannot leverage the relevant rich descriptions and interrelationships captured in Wikipedia, and Wikipedia readers miss the extensive coverage that a database typically provides on its specific topic. In this paper, authors present ETOW, a system that automatically integrates relational databases with Wikipedia. ETOW uses machine learning techniques to identify the correspondences between database entities and Wikipedia pages. In experiments with two distinct Web databases, authors demonstrate that ETOW outperforms baseline techniques, reducing error overall by an average of 19%, and reducing false positive rate by 50%. In one experiment, ETOW is able to identify approximately 13,000 correct matches at a precision of 0.97. Authors also present evidence suggesting that ETOW can substantially improve the coverage and utility of both the relational databases and Wikipedia.
