Does indexing seem oddly satisfying to you? Do you get a niggling feeling about classifications that aren't quite thesauri, where transitivity doesn't quite work? [1] Want to help provide indices for the offline Wikipedia? At Wikimania, I talked with Martin Walker, who's working on the offline Wikipedia project. They're looking for (volunteer) help providing improving their indices. Contact Martin (cc'd), for more details. -Jodi [1] http://inkdroid.org/journal/2008/01/23/lcsh-thesauri-and-skos/ ======= We need to be able to take a list like this alphabetical list of 30-50,000 articles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:0.7/0.7alpha (or see a few of our latest selections here: http://toolserver.org/~enwp10/release-data/) and generate indexes by topic, and by location: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:0.7/0.7index http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:0.7/0.7geo The code we used can be found here: http://svn.toolserver.org/svnroot/cbm/SelectionBot/index_tools/ It was very powerful, as you can see, but there were definite bugs.
