    World Literature According to Wikipedia: Introduction to a DBpedia-Based Framework Christoph Hube,1 Frank Fischer,2 Robert J¨aschke,1,3 Gerhard Lauer,4 Mads Rosendahl Thomsen5 1 L3S Research Center, Hannover, Germany 2 National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russia 3 University of Sheffield, United Kingdom 4 G¨ottingenCentre for Digital Humanities, Germany 5 Aarhus University, Denmark Among the manifold takes on world literature, it is our goal to contribute to the discussion from a digital point of view by analyzing the representa- tion of world literature in Wikipedia with its millions of articles in hundreds of languages. As a preliminary, we introduce and compare three different approaches to identify writers on Wikipedia using data from DBpedia, a community project with the goal of extracting and providing structured in- formation from Wikipedia. Equipped with our basic set of writers, we analyze how they are represented throughout the 15 biggest Wikipedia language ver- sions. We combine intrinsic measures (mostly examining the connectedness of articles) with extrinsic ones (analyzing how often articles are frequented by readers) and develop methods to evaluate our results. The better part of our findings seems to convey a rather conservative, old-fashioned version of world literature, but a version derived from reproducible facts revealing an implicit literary canon based on the editing and reading behavior of millions of peo- ple. While still having to solve some known issues, the introduced methods arXiv:1701.00991v1 [cs.IR] 4 Jan 2017 will help us build an observatory of world literature to further investigate its representativeness and biases.

  • A Stereochemical Achievement of the First Order: Alfred Werner's Resolution of Cobalt Complexes, 85 Years Later
    50 Bull. Hist. Chem. 20 (1997) A STEREOCHEMICAL ACHIEVEMENT OF THE FIRST ORDER: ALFRED WERNER'S RESOLUTION OF COBALT COMPLEXES, 85 YEARS LATER Gr . Kffn, Clfrn Stt Unvrt, rn Listen, old man; take my advice. Give me the cobalt in a thrice. Though Hell and Devil say me nay, I shall resolve cobalt today (1). With these words the Old One (der Alte, i.e., Werner) challenges the King of the Spirits (Geisterkönig). Spurn- ing the tempting gifts offered him by the King, he ap- proaches the giant blue octahedron with a cry of "I want to resolve cobalt" (Ich will das Kobalt spalten). He tears one side of it away with his axe, removes the d-form, and spins it on his little finger. As everyone joyfully shouts, "It rotates, it rotates!" (Es dreht, es dreht!), der Alte removes the /-form from the other side of the octa- hedron and spins it on his little finger in the direction opposite to the d-form. Now that the momentous task has been accom- plished, all the participants face the audience and tri- umphantly sing the final chorus to the melody of Das Studium der Welber: From early morn still night so late We'll just rotate, rotate, rotate, Until the world and all therein Alfred Werner (1866-1919) from George B.
