View the World Through the Eyes of Wikipedia
What can be done in a day on the New SGI® UV™ 2000 - the world's largest in-memory data-mining system?
SGI has partnered with Kalev H. Leetaru of the University of Illinois to create the first-ever historical mapping and exploration of the full text contents of the English-language edition of Wikipedia, in time and space. The results include visualizations of modern history captured in under a day utilizing in-memory data-mining techniques. Loading the entire English language edition of Wikipedia into SGI® UV™ 2000, Mr. Leetaru was able to show how Wikipedia's view of the world unfolded over the past two centuries. Location, year and the positive or negative sentiment have been tied to those references.
Check out our SGI Facebook Page for all the details on the SGI Wikipedia Project including videos, charts and graphs and great visualizations of Wikipedia throughout space and time.
