Wikipedia can be considered to contain a fraction of humanity's
knowledge. We have investigated the structure of Wikipedia and its
evolution to gain insights into the general structure of knowledge.
Wikipedia has a category system in place since 2004, where users can
categorize articles, assigning them to categories. We have
investigated the structure of the category system and its evolution
over time.
We have compared this system to a classic system of organizing
knowledge and also investigated how the category system divides actual
articles into groups.
Coffee and cookies will be served 15 minutes before the start of the seminar
