Wikipedia has become one of the ten most visited sites on the Web, and the world's leading source of Web reference information. Its rapid success has inspired hundreds of scholars from various disciplines to study its content, communication and community dynamics from various perspectives. This article presents a systematic review of scholarly research on Wikipedia. We describe our detailed, rigorous methodology for identifying over 450 scholarly studies of Wikipedia. We present the WikiLit website (http://wikilit.referata.com), where most of the papers reviewed here are described in detail. In the major section of this article, we then categorize and summarize the studies. An appendix features an extensive list of resources useful for Wikipedia researchers.

Scholarly events are important scientific communication channels. Our research goal is to satisfy scientists' basic information needs by collecting, archiving and providing access to scholarly event information. Furthermore, we aim to satisfy users' in-depth information needs by excavating scholarly meaningful information through reasoning about knowledge. A prerequisite to accomplishing this end is to define a description base for scholarly events to enable software agents to crawl and extract scholarly event data, and to facilitate unified access to this data. The collected data may then be mined for non-obvious knowledge. We present the design and implementation of an ontology for scholarly event description (SEDE) to achieve the research goal, and the application use case scenarios in scholarly event information space. The scenarios presented highlight the characteristics of the SEDE ontology.

“…(1) the formalisation of the standard's normative statements enabling the use of a reasoner to determine the model's consistency and (2) competency questions which represent a recognised and widely applied ontology evaluation technique to assess completeness of an ontology against its declared purpose ( Gruninger and Fox, 1995;Yu et al, 2009). Therefore the criteria against which the ebBP ontology (as an artefact of this research) is evaluated against are consistency and completeness.…”

“…One way to evaluate the completeness of an ontology is to sketch a set of questions that the ontology must be able to answer. These questions are called competency questions and are considered to be an acceptable means of evaluating the completeness of an ontology (Gruninger and Fox, 1995;Yu et al, 2009). …”

Ontology-Based Standards Development: Application of OntoStanD to ebXML Business Process Specification SchemaAbstract: Business-to-Business (B2B) interoperations are an important part of today's global economy. Business process standards are developed to provide a common understanding of the information shared between trading partners. These standards, however, mainly capture the syntax of the transactions and not their semantics. This paper proposes the use of ontologies as the basis for standards development and presents an ontology for the ebXML Business Process Specification Schema (ebBP) with the aim of empowering the capture and sharing of semantics embedded within B2B processes as well as enabling knowledge deduction and reasoning over the shared knowledge. The paper utilises the Ontology-based Standards Development methodology (OntoStanD) as a methodological approach for designing ontological models of standards. This research demonstrates how Semantic Web technologies can be utilised as a basis for standards development and representation in order to improve standards-based interoperability between trading partners.
