The Open Wikipedia Ranking Dataset

The Open Wikipedia Ranking Dataset

The Open Wikipedia Ranking is an effort to rank the English Wikipedia pages using open-source software, classical centrality measures, and an entirely reproducible process.

For each year, we provide:

A title file, containing the title of a Wikipedia page per line.

A category file, a file parallel to the title file, containing for each line a list of the “instance of” properties associated with each page by Wikidata, closed transitively by “subclass of”. These  categories can be used to select pages using the classification provided by the Wikidata ontology.

Four ranking files, for indegree, PageRank (⍺ = 0.75), harmonic centrality, and page views, in big-endian 64-bit IEEE 754 format (i.e., Java binary format), in the same order as the title file.

The same rankings in ASCII text format, again in the same order of the title file.

Please write to [e-mail] if you have questions about the dataset.
