Quantitative analysis and characterization of Wikipedia requests

Abstract:

Our poster describes the quantitative analysis carried out to study the use of the Wikipedia system by its users with special focus on the identification of time and kind-of-use patterns, characterization of traffic and workload, and comparative analysis of different language editions. By filtering and classifying a large sample of the requests directed to the Wikimedia systems over 7 days we have been able to identify important information such us the targeted namespaces, the visited resources or the requested actions. The results found include the identification of weekly and daily patterns, and several correlations between different actions on the articles. In summary, the study shows an overall picture of how the most visited language editions of the Wikipedia are being accessed by their users.

Abstract:

Improvements in computer and telecommunication technologies have lead to the development and consolidation of what is called the Information Society. This new approach allows users to access, in an easy and comfortable way, to a great number of resources, contents and services, offering a huge number of possibilities with small requirements. The only elements necessary for the integration of the users in this new society are the access to a personal computer with multimedia equipments and an Internet connection. However, the audiovisual treatment of the information can lead to serious difficulties for handicapped persons. These barriers are especially notorious for visually impaired people. This collective requires alternative ways of presentation and access to the information and, also, additional mechanisms to control the applications they are dealing with. As the aim of the present work is to make possible the integration of everybody in this new Information Society, it will be desirable to incorporate elements that can overcome any kind of handicap barrier. This article describes the research work accomplished to design and develop a control mechanism voice to be incorporate in Java applications for dealing and representing web contents. The main objective is to improve the accessibility conditions to the information published on Internet for those people with sensorial handicaps, not able to use traditional control mechanisms. Although this is the main scope of the system, it has been designed in a flexible way for its extension to other general purpose applications.
