Techniques to analyze the Wikipedia Social Network
Project short description
Wikipedia is the largest and most known example of wiki. Thousands of users interact within it to build a neutral encyclopedia. But not every user interacts equally: there are users who spend much more time on Wikipedia than others and may influence it. Our work tries to define a network of social interactions between Wikipedia users implicitly extracted by Wikipedia dumps, to analyze its sociometric stars and to discover its subcommunities.
