I am interested in making a map of Wikipedia in order to streamline the content, provide an overview of different areas, and connect Wikipedia to digital archives maintained by museums and laboratories all around the world. For more information please see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CDT_proposal .
If you would like to collaborate, or if you already have similar efforts underway, please contact me.
Thank you,
Deborah MacPherson

Hello, I'm working on a project to visualize the semantic network of MediaWiki-content. I tested the SpecialPage implementation of the Touchgraph-applet on http://wiki.sheherazade.ch/index.php/Spezial:Touchgraph (thanks to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Fxparlant/Touchgraph). My idea is to use the Topic Maps (XTM)-standard to describe the semantic network. XTM allows a more complex description of all different kinds of links then the XML-file used by Touchgraph. Applications like Omnigator from Ontopia (http://www.ontopia.net) are able to read and visualize XTM-files.
The seconde idea is to propose a list of different links for an article and the XTM-file by a webservice (compare RPC-interface of JSPWiki --> http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/WikiRPCInterface). I will use the NuSOAP-library for this.
Does someone work on a similar project to describe the semantic network of MediaWiki-content with XTM, RDF or OWL?
Does someone work on a webservice-extension for MediaWiki?
Please contact me.
