Abstract

This paper proposes a model called “The Golden Triangle for Wiki Collaboration”, composed of three elements: system, content, and community. The proposed model is used in a Digital Archives Project as a means of value adding and knowledge aggregation. We first compared and analyzed multiple wiki engines to select the best system for our research purpose. We chose Taiwanese Baseball News Digital Archive as the base of the research project and the wiki collaboration system as the platform. In order to improve and enhance the quality of digital content, we took the approach of applying techniques of knowledge organization, such as classification, indexing, thesaurus, and controlled vocabularies, so that value and knowledge can be added and aggregated. As the data and community grow, interaction of community members becomes crucial. Therefore, we discussed ways to encourage group interaction and participation from the operational and managerial point of view.

Keywords: Wiki; Wiki engine; digital archive; knowledge organization; knowledge aggregation
