The purpose of this paper is to reveal the co-editing mechanism aiming at content creation, and an entry of online encyclopedia is taken as a case, for the purpose of promoting and enhancing the development of wiki-based digital humanities projects (WDHPs), specifically, the projects that focus on gathering contextual information in the culture heritage domain.,An exploratory study was conducted by three steps. A representative entry’s editorial records were reorganized to obtain a data set of discussion statements (n=608), based on which linked-structures were built, and PageRank algorithm was used to analyze the co-editing process. Skewness statistic was applied to measure the consensus of co-editing, and consensus evolution over time was explored. Linear or curve fitting was performed to analyze the correlation between consensus evolution and its influential factors.,In WDHPs, co-editing activity of content creation can be considered as a large-scale group discussion, consensus can evaluate the efficiency of co-editing, which evolves with time and is influenced by the number of statements, breadth and depth of argumentation structure. Taking “Mogao Grottoes” as an example, group discussions around 15 key issues dominate the content creating process, consensus is on a rise with time, finally reaches a relatively high level, and consensus evolution is more influenced by breadth than by depth of argumentation structure, which indicates that co-editing efficiency of “Mogao Grottoes” is fine and more argumentation in a depth manner should be guided.,For researchers of WDHPs, it is beneficial to apply online encyclopedia platform combining with consensus analysis to develop WDHPs. For designers of WDHPs, the elements related to argumentation structure can be absorbed into the design to promote co-editing in an effective manner. For DH researchers, the analytic procedure can be beneficial of revealing the interest of contributors in a specific DH field.,This research is novel in comprehensively understanding co-editing mechanism of content creation in WDHPs, resulting in a three-step analytic procedure of presenting co-editing process, evaluating and improving co-editing efficiency.

了解基于Wiki的数字人文项目的共同编辑机制

本文的目的是揭示针对内容创建的共同编辑机制，并以在线百科全书为例，以促进和增强基于Wiki的数字人文项目（WDHP）的发展，具体来说，这些项目着重于收集文化遗产领域的背景信息。探索性研究分三个步骤进行。重新组织了代表条目的编辑记录，以获取讨论声明的数据集（n = 608），在此基础上构建了链接结构，并使用PageRank算法分析了共同编辑过程。使用偏度统计量度共同编辑的共识，并探讨共识随时间的演变。进行线性或曲线拟合以分析共识进化及其影响因素之间的相关性。在WDHP中，内容创建的共同编辑活动可被视为大型小组讨论，共识可评估共同编辑的效率，它随时间而变化，并受陈述的数量，论证结构的广度和深度的影响。以“莫高窟”为例，围绕15个关键问题的小组讨论主导着内容的创建过程，共识随着时间的推移而上升，最终达到相对较高的水平，共识的演变受广度的影响远大于论证结构的深度。 ，这表明“莫高窟”的共同编辑效率很好，应进一步深入地进行论证。对于WDHP的研究人员，将在线百科全书平台与共识分析相结合来开发WDHP是有益的。对于WDHP的设计人员而言，可以将与论证结构相关的元素吸收到设计中，以有效地促进共同编辑。对于DH研究人员而言，该分析程序可能有助于揭示特定DH领域的贡献者的兴趣。这项研究在全面了解WDHP中内容创建的共同编辑机制方面是新颖的，从而提出了一个三步分析的程序共同编辑过程，评估并提高共同编辑效率。
