W13: After reading "Categorization" / YANG RUIXIN

1. Summary

As a human knowledge management project for all human knowledge, Wikipedia collects, processes, and organizes the knowledge of the past thousands of years and establishes a human knowledge base,  Classified by properties are used. It is based on the discipline and nature classification of knowledge, sorting out the knowledge of all mankind into a huge, but simple and efficient system.

Wikipedia displays relevant information through navigation, subject index, subject catalog classification, entry alphabetic browsing, Q&A Q & A, entry search, new entries, recent changes, featured content, news dynamics, hot entries, and many more. Among them, the main means of performance is the classification catalog system and uses a variety of retrieval ways to cooperate and assist, to facilitate users to find, edit and read.

Compared with the classification system of Wikipedia has its own characteristics of the traditional knowledge organization system, this paper aims to analyze the characteristics and research and clarify its advantages and disadvantages compared to the traditional knowledge organization system.

2. Interesting point

Classification can see links at the bottom of each entry, After clicking in, you will see an interface like a list. For example, if you want to know the best films of a certain film director, you can go to the relevant category, If you want to know that each national per capita GDP, can go to the relevant category list.

However, when we are involved in classification work since classification work is usually very time-consuming and it takes quite a little time to correct once done wrong, it is recommended for novices to propose a classification plan to discuss with the editor before making the classification.

In conclusion, the features of Wikipedia benefit entirely from its innovative values, practices, and norms. Wikipedia's success is not how sophisticated technology is used, its innovation lies in really changing the way people cooperate, and updating and improving ways people access, process, and disseminate knowledge. What it really brings to people is the strong impact of knowledge dissemination, cognitive mode, and thinking.

At the same time, Wikipedia shows its own success that the self-organized and open Wiki concept is completely feasible and makes fundamental changes in the way of knowledge production and sharing, which makes network culture showing a trend towards diversification, openness, and openness civilians and non-authority.

3. Discussion points

Wikipedia Categorization of Wikipedia is alphabetical. In classification with many entries, one by one opens to find what we need, take a lot of time. Is it possible to determine which entry in the category is a more popular or more edited method?

W7: GFC book notes By 'William S. Kowinski' , 'Cory Doctorow','Piotr Konieczny' and 'Paul Youngquist'/ 진신

Summary- William S. Kowinski: The true exception is the innovative success of a collaborative effort that has prime online reference work called Wikipedia. This book is not meant to be biography or reportage, but contemporary ethnography or study of a culture. What this book does well is describe how Wikipedia works and what issues have arisen.  It's short on drama and personality，and so it's probably destined to be a source document. Since that seems unlikely, this may remain the best opportunity for learning about this remarkable project. Summary- Cory Doctorow: Reagle makes an excellent case that this assumption of good faith is particularly powerful when it comes to dealing with those who lack good faith — it creates positive outcomes for arguments with everyone from neo-Nazis to political hacks who're whitewashing their boss's entries. Wikipedia's most fascinating and unprecedented aspect isn't the encyclopedia itself — rather, it's the collaborative cu...

w9: Its often said by teachers that “Wikipedia is a good place to start, but a bad place to finish” why? LiuXinlei

 Its often said by teachers that “Wikipedia is a good place to start, but a bad place to finish” why? In terms of the comprehensiveness of the content, we have to admit the advantages of Wikipedia. For example, Wikipedia is undoubtedly my first choice when I don't understand an event at all. It is convenient, fast and comprehensive, and I can spend the least time to understand the whole content of this fact as comprehensively and neutrally as possible. But in the process of in-depth learning, Wikipedia can only be used as an introductory content, because in learning we need to understand this fact as much as possible, and we need to understand the different views of scholars in different regions on the same event. There will be different theories. Some theories seem to be not neutral or even discriminatory or ethnographic at present (such as Marxism and Marxism in China), and it is not suitable for Wikipedia. Be shown. In short, Wikipedia has a very low threshold for users. It assu...

W10 : Can we think of some example of how Internet has changed our culture? / 박소민(SOMIN PARK)

 1. Summary  The Internet has changed our culture so much. First, through the Internet, we can meet people regardless of distance. People in each country communicated over the Internet and reduced the barriers to distance by creating relationships. Also, the Internet has let us stay away from books. When we want to find expertise, we can get it from Wikipedia or Google. Even information in books can be obtained through e-books, reducing access to libraries and paper books. 2. Interesting point Further to the above, our brains are gradually degenerating because we don't have to remember information. We are constantly interrupted by SNS notifications ringing on our phones when we do something, so our concentration and attention are being reduced. Furthermore, the ease of obtaining information online is causing our short-term memory to decline. 3. Discussion point I think the Internet has made it easy to sever a relationship with a person because we can meet another person simply...
