Wikipedia, a Social Pedia

Users currently access Wikipedia through two traditional paradigms, text search and hypertext navigation. We believe that user access can be significantly improved by supporting a systematic conceptual exploration of the knowledge base through dynamic taxonomies with a faceted taxonomy organization. This approach allows the easy manipulation of sets of documents and the systematic and intuitive exploration of complex knowledge bases.
