Graphs of Wiki

A graph of a wiki is a visualisation of links between wiki pages. This is different from using wiki to define graphs.

There have been many bad attempt to graph the relationships in wikis. Indeed they are so bad I am allergic to digging into them. Here we look at beautiful and meaningful ways to graph wiki.

Graphs of wiki have been distinguished for authoring graphs in wiki. However these should be seen as a circular process, one in which the graph informs the authoring, and the authoring alters the graph.

Additionally, we can see Graphs In Wiki as a careful refinement of the general links from wiki pages, where the author is carefully selecting and annotating semantic relationships of the content.
