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

If you would like to collaborate, or if you
already have similar efforts
underway,
please contact me.
Thank you,

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.
