维基百科是一个庞大且快速发展的基于Web的协作创作环境,互联网上的任何人都可以创建,修改和删除关于百科全书主题的页面。一些维基百科页面的一个显着特性是,它们由多达数千名作者撰写,这些作者可能有相互矛盾的观点。在本文中,我们表明,“谁修改谁”网络的视觉分析,深入了解争议。我们提出了一套分析和可视化技术,揭示了一个页面的主要作者,他们扮演的角色,以及他们所面临的改变。因此,我们提供工具来了解维基百科作者如何在争议中合作。信息可视化(2008)7,34-48。doi:10.1057/palgrave.ivs.9500171
Wikipedia is a large and rapidly growing Web-based collaborative authoring environment, where anyone on the Internet can create, modify, and delete pages about encyclopedic topics. A remarkable property of some Wikipedia pages is that they are written by up to thousands of authors who may have contradicting opinions. In this paper, we show that a visual analysis of the 'who revises whom'-network gives deep insight into controversies. We propose a set of analysis and visualization techniques that reveal the dominant authors of a page, the roles they play, and the alters they confront. Thereby we provide tools to understand how Wikipedia authors collaborate in the presence of controversy. Information Visualization (2008) 7, 34-48. doi: 10.1057/palgrave.ivs.9500171
