穿越时空的性别差距:维基百科传记和“WIGI“索引之旅
Gender Gap Through Time and Space: A Journey Through Wikipedia Biographies and the "WIGI" Index
摘要:
在这项研究中,我们调查维基百科传记的量化如何揭示全球纵向性别不平等趋势。我们提出了一个学术索引,允许通过空间和时间的性别不平等的比较研究,维基百科性别指数(WIGI),通过维基数据库提供的元数据的基础上。我们的研究证实,性别不平等是一种历史悠久的现象,但其模式可以在比以前认为可能的更大范围内进行分析和量化。通过使用Inglehart-Welzel文化集群,我们表明,性别不平等可以分析世界文化方面。在所研究的维度(参考文献中女性和其他性别的覆盖率)中,我们显示出稳步提高的趋势,其中一个方面值得仔细跟踪分析(例如儒家和南亚集群的排名令人惊讶地高)。关键词:数据采掘,维基数据,维基百科,性别差距,人口统计
英文摘要:
In this study we investigate how quantification of Wikipedia biographies can shed light on worldwide longitudinal gender inequality trends. We present an academic index allowing comparative study of gender inequality through space and time, the Wikipedia Gender Index (WIGI), based on metadata available through the Wikidata database. Our research confirms that gender inequality is a phenomenon with a long history, but whose patterns can be analyzed and quantified on a larger scale than previously thought possible. Through the use of Inglehart- Welzel cultural clusters, we show that gender inequality can be analyzed with regards to world's cultures. In the dimension studied (coverage of females and other genders in reference works) we show a steadily improving trend, through one with aspects that deserve careful follow up analysis (such as the surprisingly high ranking of the Confucian and South Asian clusters). Keywords: data mining, Wikidata, Wikipedia, gender gap, demographics
