Augmented Reality vs Augmented Web

WHY WIKIPEDIA AUGMENTATION?
G. Puente
Why Wikipedia Augmentation?
Editions backed by the community: personalized exploration
Public scrutiny may intimidate: protected setting
Annotation-like mechanism: lowers participation barrier

HOW WIKIPEDIA AUGMENTATION?
G. Puente
How Wikipedia Augmentation?
Affordable (open): complexity similar to wikitext
Modular (organic): augmentation can grow or shrink at user’s wish
Shareable (observable): easy to understand, share and install by the rest of the community

Conclusions
WikiLayer: an augmentation tool for wikipedians
Content user-generated or extracted from websites
The wiki way: affordable, modular and shareable
G. Puente 24
Conclusions
Next, validate the following hypothesis: • Readers using layers become contributors
• Layers are appropriate to collect content
• Layer-based surveillance leads to frequent
monitoring, improving article quality
