Hello!
We recently studied the properties of the English Wikipedia graph and
observed that:
(1) the graph consists of dense subgraphs (socalled "graph communities")
that are in turn less densely connected to each other;
(2) Wikipedia articles falling into the same community exhibit more
semantic similarity to each other than randomly selected articles.
Encouraged by the above observations, i computed the community hierarchy
for
the English Wikipedia:
http://modis.ispras.ru/wikipedia/
The hierarchy shows the grouping of similar Wikipedia articles into
communities, based on purely Wikipedia link information, and reflects the
link structure of the Wikipedia graph.
In your opinion, could such data organization be helpful for navigation
and
finding related information in Wikipedia?
Your feedback is welcome!

I was thinking that Roget (Rohzhay), whose work I hav seen for free, could
do a lot to help with category sujestions. His "jeneral categories of words,
then smaller categories, and then synonyms with antonyms" was an immense and
long-winded stroke of organization. It needed an index at the back for the
word you could think of. I did not like revisions I found in 1998. I liked
the one I had in 1987.
