• Understanding socio-technical
systems at the interface of
• their intended problem solving

20. Observing Wikipedia
The growth in edits (x), discussions (y) and Wikipedians (bubble
radius) of Wikiprojects based on their root project page
21. Wikipedia: Past, Present, Future
Synergistic to the Web’s Growth, Wikipedia has evolved from a resource of ?
documents, to data, and to people. ?
?
Wikipedia continues to enrol and mobilise people and technology. ?
The evolution of Wikipedia is part of a complex and fluid?
eco-system of social machines.
Understanding Wikipedia involves studying it as a system in and of itself, ?
and as an actor in the in the growing and re-configuring Web.
23. • Flows of information
and interactions are
the traces of socio-technical
problem
solving
• Social Machines
require
observational and
longitudinal
analysis
