Introduction

The purpose of this article is survey various tools that allow to measure what participants (and students in particular) do in a wiki. Survey literature will include topics that are only indirectly related but of technical interest, e.g. the literature on trust metrics. In addition we will look at tools that will enhance wiki participation and collaboration. Finally, we will try to outline a few paths for further development.

“Wiki users receive very little guidance on the trustworthiness of the information they find. It is difficult for them to determine how long the text in a page has existed, or who originally authored the text. It is also difficult to assess the reliability of authors contributing to a wiki page. In this paper, we create a set of trust indicators and metrics derived from phrasal analysis of the article revision history. These metrics include author attribution, author reputation, expertise ratings, article evolution, and text trustworthiness. We also propose a new technique for collecting and maintaining explicit article ratings across multiple revisions.”
