The Demo Site

Indywiki is an open source project that aims to explore different ways of visually browsing wikipedia pages. This might be very helpful, especially in cases we are only interested to get an idea on the term we are searching for. In other words, browsing through images, while the text is still available to read! Indywiki also discovers and displays images that are contained on links to our search keyword. Images are displayed in tenths. So if we are searching for a city as an example, after we get all images displayed on the wikipedia page about this city, we'll start getting links about related items (that might be other cities in this country, personalities and culture of this city and practically everything related, the more we keep on getting images.

Indywiki achieves this by taking under consideration
1)articles that link to our article
2)articles that are linked from our article
3)categories to which our article and also all articles on 1) and 2) belong to.

All links get a score, that increases if a link is at 1) and 2), or if it belongs to one or more categories as our article. After indywiki has discovered the related articles, it parses them and fetches their first image, in case they have one. Usually the first image is the most representative of an article. We can continue the search for as long as we like!
