ExpertFinder

An ontology-based tool for identifying experts among wiki users.

Starting the processing

There are currently two ways to start the processing of the wiki contents and generation of reputation and expertise data.

Programmatically

The entry point to the processing chain is the class

de.csw.expertfinder.mediawiki.uima.deploy.MediaWikiCPERunner

The class also has a main method for testing purposes.

Using the the UIMA CPE Deployment Tool:

Load the CPE configuration file

src-mediawiki/de/csw/expertfinder/mediawiki/uima/deploy/ExpertFinder CPE Config.xml

and run it.

Getting reputation and expertise values

Once the wiki's contents have been processed, the reputation and expertise scores for authors can be retrieved using the class

de.csw.expertfinder.expertise.ExpertiseModel
