[Wikitech-l] Re: 5. Map of Wikipedia (Urs Richle)/Wikitech-l Digest, Vol 27, Issue 6 - Wikitech-l

6 Oct 2005

      Dear Urs Richle,
What I want to do is make a picture of the linkages in layers you
could turn off or on to see how they go together in XTM, RDF or OWL.
Somewhere between these will be the best fit/clearest picture.
I could not get through to your email or find you on
http://tecfa.unige.ch/. Please let me know how to reach you to
continue this discussion so we can create one or two concrete examples
to post.
Sincerely,
Deborah MacPherson

The corpus-based measures are particularly interesting; they mean we
don't need to bug Google for a million search keys.
Although if anyone from Google is monitoring this list, and wants to
give me a Google Account with 1.25M search keys, I'd be happy to set off
the appropriate script... or send it to you to run.
In any case, the number of results reported is a very approximate
estimate.  See, for example,
http://blog.outer-court.com/archive/2005-02-08.html#n72
I think it'd be much easier to use a standard measure of usefulness:
look at access logs on wikipedia's end.  If article A gets twice the
number of hits per day as article B, it would seem natural that
someone would be twice as likely to look it up in a paper-based
encyclopedia.  (There are certainly exceptions like hot news stories
or controversial topics during a revert war, but I think it'd take you
a long way...)
I like Neil's list too, but that, as they observed, is a lot more work.
-- Evan, monitoring this list :)

Is this the right mailing list to discuss this?

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mailing_lists,
this list is 'for any WikiMedia development issues, technical
discussions, ..." which is what I'd like to discuss.
MediaWiki-l seems to be "for people with questions about their own
installation of MediaWiki" which isn't really what I have in mind.
