"Part 1: project profile"
Wikipedia articles are organized in a hierarchy of categories, manually assigned by users. This process can be considered a huge effort for the collective categorization of human knowledge; the result is a wide and disordered graph which can provide precious information for a variety of applications (natural language processing, information retrieval, ontology building...). Aim of the project is the development of a tool for the visualization of this graph. The project can be extended to a thesis in various directions, as the development of advanced visualization features or the creation and population of an ontology.
