چکیده

Wikipedia is one of the largest online encyclopedias that exist in a hypertext form. This nature prevents Wikipedia’s potential to be fully discovered. Therefore the focus of this paper is on the role of domain knowledge in supporting the exploration of classical encyclopedic content, which in this case is Wikipedia. A main contribution provided by the author of this work is a methodology for identifying the nature, the form and the role of domain knowledge expressed in conceptual form. It’s also a method of representation and analysis for describing the domain knowledge and for the extraction of the logical representation of a raw form of the domain knowledge. Such logical representation is of limited value in describing the real nature of domain knowledge. Hence we transform it into an adequate graphical representation, mostly of an arc-node form which is called conceptual representation. Keywords—Conceptual Mapping; Conceptual Representation; Domain knowledge; Wikipedia; Self-regulated learners.
