Case Study Wikipedia

s everyone needs all news and information from different sources in order to
develop their own livelihood, make a living including level up the country.
AInternet is one of the important tools, which present information correctly,
quickly, efficiently and collect all information. However, Internet service is classified
without any standards support and specified into groups based on only one group and not
for the overall. For classifying the content of Wikipedia, which has categorized the main
contents into 12 major groups as follow: (i) i.e. General reference, (ii) Culture and the arts,
(iii) Geography and places, (iv) Health and fitness, (v) History and events, (vi) Mathematics
and logic, (vii) Natural and physical sciences, (viii) People and self, (ix) Philosophy and
thinking, (x) Religion and belief systems, (xi) Society and social sciences, (xii) Technology
and applied sciences.

Wikipedia classification group is without any international standards support and specify
into the group based on only one group as shown in Figure 1. The popular classifying
information systems used in the library are Library of Congress Classification (LCC) of
DR has divided into 20 main classes which use an alphabetic is a symbol. Herbert Putnum,
Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) by Melvil Dewey has 10 main classes and use an
alphabetic is a symbol. In the present, the classifying of articles or books is categorized
only into a group which is proposed in the previous research as Dewey Decimal
Classification Multiple Relations (DDC-MR). So, that it can recognize the contents of other
groups hidden in the articles or books. In this paper, the researcher is using the Dewey
Decimal Classification Multiple Relations (DDC-MR) for analyzing the contents of the
articles in Wikipedia. In order to, synchronize the search of the contents in the Wikipedia
system and the articles in the library with better format and speed. As a result, this
connection of the content of the article in Wikipedia is international instead of search by
Keyword. In addition, this connection is able to search the article from the library in
which the same contents precisely and systematically.
