Evaluation of teams of Wikipedia authors

Filed under: Academic Research on PJWSTK — Tags: , , — natalalaa @ 23:52

Wikipedia is a very good example of a project that owes its great success to a cooperation of many people without the existence of any formal organisation. Everyone can change the content of its pages. This open model of cooperation without artificial organisational barriers fosters a creative work of teams. Peter Gloor describes in his book Swarm Creativity: Competitive Advantage through Collaborative Innovation Networks the usage of social structure (COIN), in which the coordination is intuitive, without formal leadership as an efficient form of leading the organisation, also in a business sense.

Our research is focused on evaluation of teams editing content of separate articles, based on multidimensional social network. The construction of this network in built on a history of editing all articles and its discussion pages. We have distinguished four dimensions in which we examine relations between authors: trust (based on extending the content created by one author without deleting it), wariness (based on deleting content and restoring the edition), familiarity (modelled on base of activity of pairs of authors on disussion pages), knowledge/interest (linking authors editing content of pages from similar categories).
