Woogle4MediaWiki. From Searchers to Contributors

Track: Demos
Authors: Hans-Jörg Happel

Abstract
This demo presents Woogle4MediaWiki, an extension for MediaWiki, which improves its core search functionality and introduces Wiki-style collaboration about information needs (each search query may have its own Wiki page) and result lists. Furthermore, aggregate statistics from the search logs are shown in pop-up windows attached to “red links” to guide users contributing new information.
