合作知识形成中的结构性不平等的早期发作,维基百科

Early onset of structural inequality in the formation of collaborative knowledge, Wikipedia

Jinhyuk Yun, Sang Hoon Lee, Hawoong Jeong

摘要:

我们对863个维基媒体项目中的不平等进行了深入分析。我们以267,304,095个维基媒体条目到2016年的完整编辑历史为例,它不仅涵盖了维基百科的每一个语言版本,而且还包含了维基词典、维基百科、维基旅行等的完整版本。在这组数据中,我们观察到编辑次数和不平等程度之间的相互作用。特别是,基尼系数的快速增长表明,这种根深蒂固的不平等源于这种开放编辑的公共数据集的性质,即超级编辑寡头垄断的自然发生。我们发现,这些超级编辑组创建于这些开放编辑媒体的早期阶段,并且仍然活跃。此外,我们的模型考虑了短期和长期的记忆,成功地阐明了在维基百科建立寡头政治的潜在机制。我们的研究结果预计,这种公共数据库在未来的一个显着的前景:不平等不会自发地解决。

英文摘要:

We perform an in-depth analysis on the inequality in 863 Wikimedia projects. We take the complete editing history of 267,304,095 Wikimedia items until 2016, which not only covers every language edition of Wikipedia, but also embraces the complete versions of Wiktionary, Wikisource, Wikivoyage, etc. Our findings of common growth pattern described by the interrelations between four characteristic growth yardsticks suggest a universal law of communal data formation. In this encyclopaedic data set, we observe the interplay between the number of edits and the degree of inequality. In particular, the rapid increase in the Gini coefficient suggests that this entrenched inequality stems from the nature of such open-editing communal data sets, namely the abiogenesis of the supereditors' oligopoly. We show that these supereditor groups were created at the early stages of these open-editing media and are still active. Furthermore, our model considers both short-term and long-term memories to successfully elucidate the underlying mechanism of the establishment of oligarchy in Wikipedia. Our results anticipate a noticeable prospect of such communal databases in the future: the disparity will not be resolved spontaneously.
