How Collective Intelligence Emerges: Knowledge Creation Process in Wikipedia from Microscopic Viewpoint Kyungho Lee University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Illinois Informatics Institute [email protected] ABSTRACT The Wikipedia, one of the richest human knowledge repositories on the Internet, has been developed by collective intelligence1. To gain insight into Wikipedia, one asks how initial ideas emerge and develop to become a concrete article through the online collaborative process? Led by this question, the author performed a microscopic observation of the knowledge creation process on the recent article, "Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster." The author collected not only the revision history of the article but also investigated interactions between collaborators by making a userparagraph network to reveal an intellectual intervention of multiple authors. The knowledge creation process on the Wikipedia article was categorized into 4 major steps and 6 phases from the beginning to the intellectual balance point where only revisions were made.
