| Abstract | Along with the emergence of Web 2.0, User Generated Content (UGC) is becoming increasingly important for knowledge sharing. Wikipedia being the world’s largest-ever community-based collaborative encyclopedia, is also one of the biggest UGC databases in the world. Wikipedia is dealing with a significant problem of Information Quality (IQ) because of its open-source and collaborative nature. When carrying out attacks such as link spamming, malicious users take advantage of Wikipedia’s popularity on the World Wide Web (WWW). As a result, Wikipedia is generally not recommended for academic-related work. There are, however, some articles that are both rich in information and quality. Existing approaches for assessing Wikipedia’s IQ involve statistical models and machine learning algorithms; however, the existing models do not produce satisfactory results. In this study, a novel theoretical model based on Google’s E-A-T framework is introduced to assess Wikipedia’s IQ. The model comprises three IQ constructs Expertise, Authority and Trustworthiness. Based on the empirical findings and study results, a set of IQ dimensions that influence the above three IQ constructs, as well as 45 IQ attributes to measure the IQ dimensions, were identified. The IQ attributes were automatically and inexpensively extracted from the content and meta-data statistics of Wikipedia articles using a Selenium 3.14 web automation script. A sample of 2000 articles comprising 1000 Featured Articles (FA) and 1000 non-FA articles from six WikiProjects was used for the data analysis. The proposed model was compared with three previously published models in terms of classification and clustering accuracy. It received classification and clustering accuracies of 95% and 93% respectively, which is a drastic improvement over the existing models. Furthermore, an average inter-rater agreement of 84% was observed. Thus, the proposed model’s effectiveness is fairly validated by this extensive experiment. This study contributes to the related knowledge area by introducing a novel framework to assess Wikipedia articles’ IQ. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
