Part 1: project profile

Project name

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.
