Ten Years of Open Wikipedia Ranking

The Open Wikipedia Ranking is an open dataset published yearly, containing
the ranking of Wikipedia pages with respect to centrality measures computed on
the whole Wikipedia graph for that year. In this paper, ten years
after its start, we report some details, results and anecdotal observations on
this dataset. The goal of the Open Wikipedia Ranking is to provide a completely
open and reproducible ranking of Wikipedia pages based on indegree, PageRank,
harmonic centrality, and page views; the Wikipedia graphs themselves are also
made available by the Laboratory of Web Algorithmics. What characterizes the
Open Wikipedia Ranking is that the whole graph construction and ranking process
are meticulously documented and reproducible. All computations are based on
open-source Java software and algorithms from the literature. Thus, the reason
of the centrality score of pages can be exactly traced back to structural graph
properties.
