Abstract

Wikipedia is a large and popular daily information source for millions of people. How are articles distributed by topic area, and what is the semantic coverage of Wikipedia? Using manual methods it is impractical to determine this. We present the design of an information visualization tool that produces overview diagrams of Wikipedia's articles distributed according to category relationships, and show examples of visualizing English Wikipedia.
