Project Name
Wikipedia Category Map
Project Short Description
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...).
The objective of this project is the development of a tool for the visualization of this graph, providing a way for interacting with it.
