  • Wikipedia's Economic Value
    WIKIPEDIA’S ECONOMIC VALUE Jonathan Band and Jonathan Gerafi policybandwidth In the copyright policy debate, proponents of strong copyright protection tend to be dismissive of the quality of freely available content. In response to counter- examples such as open access scholarly publications and advertising-supported business models (e.g., newspaper websites and the over-the-air television broadcasts viewed by 50 million Americans), the strong copyright proponents center their attack on amateur content. In this narrative, YouTube is for cat videos and Wikipedia is a wildly unreliable source of information. Recent studies, however, indicate that the volunteer-written and -edited Wikipedia is no less reliable than professionally edited encyclopedias such as the Encyclopedia Britannica.1 Moreover, Wikipedia has far broader coverage. Britannica, which discontinued its print edition in 2012 and now appears only online, contains 120,000 articles, all in English. Wikipedia, by contrast, has 4.3 million articles in English and a total of 22 million articles in 285 languages. Wikipedia attracts more than 470 million unique visitors a month who view over 19 billion pages.2 According to Alexa, it is the sixth most visited website in the world.3 Wikipedia, therefore, is a shining example of valuable content created by non- professionals. Is there a way to measure the economic value of this content? Because Wikipedia is created by volunteers, is administered by a non-profit foundation, and is distributed for free, the normal means of measuring value— such as revenue, market capitalization, and book value—do not directly apply. Nonetheless, there are a variety of methods for estimating its value in terms of its market value, its replacement cost, and the value it creates for its users.

  • Multilingual Ranking of Wikipedia Articles with Quality and Popularity Assessment in Different Topics
    computers Article Multilingual Ranking of Wikipedia Articles with Quality and Popularity Assessment in Different Topics Włodzimierz Lewoniewski * , Krzysztof W˛ecel and Witold Abramowicz Department of Information Systems, Pozna´nUniversity of Economics and Business, 61-875 Pozna´n,Poland * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-(61)-639-27-93 Received: 10 May 2019; Accepted: 13 August 2019; Published: 14 August 2019 Abstract: On Wikipedia, articles about various topics can be created and edited independently in each language version. Therefore, the quality of information about the same topic depends on the language. Any interested user can improve an article and that improvement may depend on the popularity of the article. The goal of this study is to show what topics are best represented in different language versions of Wikipedia using results of quality assessment for over 39 million articles in 55 languages. In this paper, we also analyze how popular selected topics are among readers and authors in various languages. We used two approaches to assign articles to various topics. First, we selected 27 main multilingual categories and analyzed all their connections with sub-categories based on information extracted from over 10 million categories in 55 language versions. To classify the articles to one of the 27 main categories, we took into account over 400 million links from articles to over 10 million categories and over 26 million links between categories. In the second approach, we used data from DBpedia and Wikidata. We also showed how the results of the study can be used to build local and global rankings of the Wikipedia content.

  • The Future of Wikimedia and Why New Zealand Museums Should Pay Attention
    The Future of Wikimedia and Why New Zealand Museums Should Pay Attention Susan Tolich On the 21st of May it was announced that Mike Dickison will be assuming the position as Aotearoa’s frst Wikipedia-at-large. Tis new role will entail several placements at GLAM institutions around the country where Dickison will act as a ‘Wikipedian in Residence.’ Tis position does not involve editing Wikipedia on behalf of the organisations but focuses on training staf in how to contribute and engage with all parts of Wikimedia and its editing community. Wikipedia is just one of the projects run by the non-proft Wikimedia Foundation; others include Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. Troughout his career Dickison has had years of experience advocating for Wikipedia to be used in the GLAM sector and has hosted various events to improve the representation of New Zealand endemic species and female scientists on the site.1 While Dickson is the frst Wikipedian-at-large in New Zealand he is part of a much larger global movement which works towards creating a freely accessed ‘sum of all knowledge.’ Wikimedians have partnered with GLAM institutions around the world since 2010 with the mission of ‘connecting audiences to open knowledge, ideas and creativity on a global scale.’2 Other Wikipedian-in-residence projects have ranged from creating documentary photography of Carpathian folk lore, to upskilling librarians in the Ivory Coast to be able to promote their heritage using Wikimedia platforms. It was eforts such as these that also delivered Te Metropolitan Museum 1 Mike Dickison, “New Zealand Wikimedian at large,” Giant Flightless Bird (Blog), 21 May 2018, http://www.giantfightlessbirds.com/2018/05/new-zealand-wikipedian-at-large/ 2 Katherine Maher and Loic Tallon, “Wikimedia and the Met: a shared digital vision,” Medium, 20 April 2018, https://medium.com/freely-sharing-the-sum-of-all-knowledge/wikimedia-and -the-met-a-shared-digital-vision-f91b59eab2e9.

  • The Combined Wordnet Bahasa
    The combined Wordnet Bahasa Francis B?, Lian Tze L⋄, Enya Kong T† and Hammam R‡ ?Nanyang Technological University, Singapore ⋄KDU College Penang †Linton University College, Malaysia ‡Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology, Indonesia [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] This paper outlines the creation of an open combined semantic lexicon as a resource for the study of lexical semantics in the Malay languages (Malaysian and Indonesian). It is created by combining three earlier wordnets, each built using different resources and approaches: the Malay Wordnet (Lim & Hussein 2006), the Indonesian Wordnet (Riza, Budiono & Hakim 2010) and the Wordnet Bahasa (Nurril Hirfana, Sapuan & Bond 2011). The final wordnet has been validated and extended as part of sense annotation of the Indonesian portion of the NTU Multilingual Corpus (Tan & Bond 2012). The wordnet has over 48,000 concepts and 58,000 words for Indonesian and 38,000 concepts and 45,000 words for Malaysian. 1. Introduction1 This paper discusses the creation of a new release of the Open Wordnet Bahasa, an open- source semantic lexicon of Malay. The Wordnet is the result of merging with three wordnet projects for Malaysian and Indonesian, then adding data from other resources and finally by tagging a collection of Indonesian text. Up until now, there has been no richly linked, broad coverage semantic lexicon for Malay- sian and Indonesian. The Center of the International Cooperation for Computerization produced dictionaries for Malaysian and Indonesian (CICC 1994a,b) but the semantic hi- erarchy was limited to an upper level ontology for Indonesian.

  • 16€€€€Toward a Wikipedia for and from Us
    Wikipedia @ 20 • ::Wikipedia @ 20 16 Toward a Wikipedia For and From Us All Adele Godoy Vrana, Anasuya Sengupta, Siko Bouterse Published on: Oct 15, 2020 Updated on: Nov 16, 2020 License: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC-BY 4.0) Wikipedia @ 20 • ::Wikipedia @ 20 16 Toward a Wikipedia For and From Us All To build a Wikipedia that reflects the full breadth and depth of humanity, we must deconstruct the myths that allow misogyny, racism, colonialism, and other forms of oppression to flourish in our communities and build new practices for the next twenty years. As Whose Knowledge? cofounders, we draw on our experiences to offer paths forward. We love Wikipedia. As readers, and as contributors. But we also hate what it can do to many of us from marginalized communities around the world. Most Wikipedians find it hard to accept that a truly inspiring model of peer production can sit alongside misogyny, racism, and colonialism, but this has indeed been our experience of Wikipedia’s first twenty years. Don’t get us wrong; we do love Wikipedia. But for us, our passion for the projects translates into tough love. We believe in speaking up about some of the critical issues of marginalization that have been lurking, invisible, or silenced over the past twenty years. And we believe that acting to change this status quo will make Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement more powerful and relevant over the next twenty. We were initially drawn to the encyclopedia and the movement several years ago as feminists, scholars, organizers, and people who are curious about the many worlds we inhabit.
