Does human knowledge live in a small world? — •Dirk Graudenz — Hagenau 61, 22089 Hamburg

I study the link structure of the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, i.e. the network consisting of Wikipedia articles as vertices and references between articles as network links. The analysis has two parts: (a) a study of the statistical and topological properties of the network, in order to gain insights into whether the network is a small world, and (b) an exploration of the community structure of the network with the goal of defining a taxonomy of human knowledge through an automated process.
