Mining Meaning from Wikipedia.
[Volltext] [Kurzfassung] [BibTeX] [Endnote] Wikipedia is a goldmine of information; not just for its many readers, but
so for the growing community of researchers who recognize it as a resource of ceptional scale and utility. It represents a vast investment of manual effort d judgment: a huge, constantly evolving tapestry of concepts and relations at is being applied to a host of tasks. This article provides a comprehensive description of this work. It focuses on search that extracts and makes use of the concepts, relations, facts and scriptions found in Wikipedia, and organizes the work into four broad tegories: applying Wikipedia to natural language processing; using it to cilitate information retrieval and information extraction; and as a resource r ontology building. The article addresses how Wikipedia is being used as is, w it is being improved and adapted, and how it is being combined with other ructures to create entirely new resources. We identify the research groups d individuals involved, and how their work has developed in the last few ars. We provide a comprehensive list of the open-source software they have oduced. We also discuss the implications of this work for the long-awaited mantic web.
