Title: Analysing Temporal Evolution of Interlingual Wikipedia Article Pairs,
Abstract: Wikipedia articles representing an entity or a topic in different language
editions evolve independently within the scope of the language-specific user
communities. This can lead to different points of views reflected in the
articles, as well as complementary and inconsistent information. An analysis of
how the information is propagated across the Wikipedia language editions can
provide important insights in the article evolution along the temporal and
cultural dimensions and support quality control. To facilitate such analysis,
we present MultiWiki - a novel web-based user interface that provides an
overview of the similarities and differences across the article pairs
originating from different language editions on a timeline. MultiWiki enables
users to observe the changes in the interlingual article similarity over time
and to perform a detailed visual comparison of the article snapshots at a
particular time point.
