Trabajo De Fin De Carrera TRABAJO DE FIN DE CARRERA TÍTULO DEL TFC: Tecnología y Filosofía wiki Aplicadas al Electromagnetismo Computacional TITULACIÓN: Ingeniería Técnica de Telecomunicaciones, especialidad Telemática AUTOR: Daniel de la Cruz Calvo DIRECTORES: Fco. Javier Mora Serrano y Rubén Otín Fortuny FECHA: 19 de Noviembre de 2007 Título: Tecnología y filosofía wiki aplicadas al Electromagnetismo Computacional Autor: Daniel de la Cruz Calvo Directores: Fco. Javier Mora Serrano y Rubén Otín Fortuny Fecha: 19 de Noviembre de 2007 Resumen De acuerdo con la Wikipedia, “un (o una) wiki es un sitio web colaborativo que puede ser editado por varios usuarios. Los usuarios de una wiki pueden así crear, editar, borrar o modificar el contenido de una página web, de una forma interactiva, fácil y rápida; dichas facilidades hacen de una wiki una herramienta efectiva para la escritura colaborativa.” En el ámbito profesional o académico esta herramienta presenta una ventaja adicional: la escalabilidad de la información que se elabora. El formato wiki también representa uno de los más importantes nuevos paradigmas de las tecnologías de la información: considerar los desarrollos en un estado de versión “beta perpetua”. Así, libera a la información de la pesada carga de las herencias del autor, pues al tratarse de un contenido cooperativo y transitorio, cualquiera puede modificarlo en cualquier momento. El presente proyecto propone el estudio de este tipo de plataforma desde dos puntos de vista: el tecnológico y el metodológico. El tratamiento técnico implica la revisión, como ingeniero de telecomunicaciones, de una plataforma de creación de wikis: MediaWiki. Se deberán explorar aspectos como su instalación, su configuración, los permisos asociados, la seguridad, el mantenimiento, copias de seguridad y las herramientas asociadas tanto para el seguimiento de la actividad como para aspectos complementarios como conversiones de formato, enlaces a otros sistemas informáticos, etc. El tratamiento metodológico implica el estudio como usuario y gestor del sistema, con aplicación sobre una estructura de información para electromagnetismo computacional. Para ello se tomará como referencia el wiki ya existente CFD Online, y se contemplarán aspectos como metodologías para estructurar y organizar la información, para administrar a los participantes, para definir reglas sobre la categorización y evolución de los artículos, a partir de las referencias ya existentes sobre los casos de éxito que pueden encontrarse en Internet. Daniel de la Cruz Calvo Noviembre 2007 Title: Wiki technology and philosophy applied to Computational Electromagnetism Author: Daniel de la Cruz Calvo Directors: Fco. Javier Mora Serrano and Rubén Otín Fortuny Date: November, 19th 2007 Overview In accordance with the wikipedia, 'a wiki is a type of computer software that allows users to easily create, edit and link web pages. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites, power community websites, and are increasingly being installed by businesses to provide affordable and effective Intranets or for use in Knowledge Management. Ward Cunningham, developer of the first wiki, WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work".' In the professional or academic environment this tool offers an additional added value: the scalability of the information. Wiki philosophy also involves one of the most important new paradigms within the information technologies: the “permanent beta” version. The information evolution is not a simple responsibility of an individual because is fruit of a collaborative work and, therefore, the contents can be modified by someone in any arbitrary moment. The present project intent to study this platform from two points of view: the technological one and the methodological one. The technical work implies the review, like a system’s engineer, of the different technologies that allow creating a wiki: installation, configuration, user permissions, safety and maintenance, hardware, to successfully get running the application, as well as for complementary aspects as use of format standards, link to other web sites and databases, etc. The methodological revision implies to getting the role of an user and of an administrator of a wiki for computational electromagnetism, similar to an existing one focused on computational fluid dynamics, called cfd-online, as a reference (http://www.cfd-online.com/Wiki/Main_Page). This part of work means to learn how to establish the original structure of the information, how to organise it, to manage the contributors, how to define the rules to categorise each article, how to control the expected progress or evolution of the contents, etc. Daniel de la Cruz Calvo Noviembre 2007 ÍNDICE INTRODUCCIÓN........................................................................................................................... 7 CAPÍTULO 1.

Tutorial 1 for new WikiEducators wikieducator.org book - Generated using the open source mwlib toolkit - see http://code.pediapress.com for more information 2 Introducing a Wiki Objectives In this tutorial we will: • provide an overview of what wikis are, • and show some examples of their different uses. • discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using wikis to develop content • describe the main features of WikiEducator What is a Wiki? The name "Wiki" was chosen by Ward Cunningham - - the creator of the first Wiki. It is a shortened form of "wiki- wiki", the Hawaiian word for quick. A wiki is a web site that is generally editable by anyone with a computer, a web browser, and an internet connection. Wikis use a quick and easy syntax to allow users to apply formatting to text and create links between pages. This simple formatting syntax means that authors no longer need to learn the complexities of HTML to create content on the web. The main strength of a wiki is that it gives people the ability to work collaboratively on the same document. The only software you need is an Wiki wiki sign outside Honolulu International Internet browser. Consequently, wikis are used Airport. (Image courtesy of A. Barataz) for a variety of purposes.

The medium democratized the field of knowledge production to an extent that has not been experienced before and it was the incredible popularity of the medium that triggered historians to raise questions about the quality of the online reference work and implications for the historian’s craft. However, despite a vast body of research devoted to the digital encyclopedia, no consensus has yet been reached in these debates due to a general lack of empirical research.

    Wikis, Laurel A. Clyde Clyde, L.A. (2005). Wikis. Teacher Librarian, 32(4), 54-56. Wiki is yet another new infotech term that has come to prominence in the last couple of it is said, from the Hawaiian word for "fast," "WikiWikiWeb" (or just "wiki") describe a particular type of interactive web site--a site to which users can contribute. Though the first wikis appeared about nine years ago, it has been only in the last two years that they have captured the imagination of relatively large numbers of Internet users. Wikis are being used in different contexts, including education, business, and library science and information management. Like blogging software (see "Educational Blogging," Teacher Librarian, 32(3), 43-45), wiki "engines" (the software used as the basis for a wiki) are a form of "social software," that is, "a type of software that makes it easy for groups of people to work together in a virtual environment" (Chawner & Lewis, 2004). Wikis support collaborative activity by providing a format for the submission of contributions, a way of organizing and updating the site, and automatic maintenance of the links among pages and to external sites. Users do not need to possess sophisticated web skills to take part in developing a wiki, though setting up a wiki does require more skills. In its simplest form, a wiki allows any authorized user to add new content and new pages to a wiki, and to edit, change, or delete existing content. Some allow any users to make changes, and those changes might not require moderator approval before appearing on the web site, depending on how the wiki has been set up.

  • TOOLS and METHODS for WIKI RESEARCH Jeffrey
    ABSTRACT Title of thesis: ANALYZING THE WIKISPHERE: TOOLS AND METHODS FOR WIKI RESEARCH Jeffrey Stuckman, Master of Science, 2010 Thesis directed by: Professor James Purtilo Department of Computer Science We present tools and techniques that facilitate wiki research and an analysis of wikis found on the internet. We developed WikiCrawler, a tool that downloads and analyzes wikis. With this tool, we built a corpus of 151 Mediawiki wikis. We also developed a wiki analysis toolkit in R, which, among other tasks, fits probability distributions to discrete data, and uses a Monte Carlo method to test the fit. From the corpus we determined that, like Wikipedia, most wikis were authored collaboratively, but users contributed at unequal rates. We proposed a distribution- based method for measuring wiki inequality and compared it to the Gini coefficient. We also analyzed distributions of edits across pages and users, producing data which can motivate or verify future mathematical models of behavior on wikis. Future research could also analyze user behavior and establish measurement baselines, fa- cilitating evaluation, or generalize Wikipedia research by testing hypotheses across many wikis.

Introduction WikiWikiWebs or wikis constitute the core platform of peer production. Wikis are software programs allowing for flexible collaboration without necessarily having a defined content owner or leader. A wiki is a user-editable website or content management system. Wikis might use different programming languages and licenses, but they apply the same model for cooperation, which means that collaborators can modify content, insert hyperlinks, and change the structure of a document directly in any web browser. Edits are usually archived and open to revision for all collaborators. The most popular and successful wiki-based project by far is Wikipedia. Established in 2001, today this encyclopedia is one of the most popular sites on the Web; what is more, with its data supporting other applications and commercial platforms like Google, Wikipedia has taken on an infrastructural role in the contemporary internet.

Wikipedia has been criticized for the uneven handling, acceptance, and retention of articles about controversial subjects. The principal concerns of the critics are the factual reliability of the content; the readability of the prose; and a clear article layout; the existence of systemic bias; of gender bias; and of racial bias among the editorial community that is Wikipedia. Further concerns are that the organization allows the participation of anonymous editors (leading to editorial vandalism); the existence of social stratification (allowing cliques); and over-complicated rules (allowing editorial quarrels), which conditions permit the misuse of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is described as unreliable at times.
