Wikimedia Foundation takes aim at Google search with $3.5m 'Knowledge Engine'

Wikipedia's parent organisation, the Wikimedia Foundation, had in
September been awarded a $US250,000 ($A350,000) grant from the John S.
and James L. Knight Foundation
<https://m.wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/File:Knowledge_engine_grant_agreement.pdf>,
but only publicised the grant in the past week.

The grant is to be used "To advance new models for finding information
by supporting stage one development of the Knowledge Engine by
Wikipedia," the Knight Foundation's grant letter to the Wikimedia
Foundation read. 

Wikimedia's grant application says that "commercial
search engines dominate search-engine use of the internet, and they're
employing proprietary technologies to consolidate channels of access to
the internet's knowledge and information."

Reports from digital
analytics company comScore put Google's market share at about 67 per
cent, with Microsoft's Bing in second place at about 20 per cent and
Yahoo third with about 10 per cent.

    The grant application says the Knowledge Engine will respond by emphasising six key areas:

    1.   Publication curation mechanisms for quality
    2.   Transparency, telling users exactly how the information originated
    3.   Open data access to metadata, giving users the exact data source of the information
    4.   Protected user privacy, with their searching protected by strict privacy controls
    5.   No advertising, which assures the free flow of information and a complete separation from commercial interests
    6.   Internalisation, which emphasises community building and the sharing of information

Wikimedia claims the Knowledge Engine will be "the internet's first
transparent search engine".  A post on the Knight Foundation's website
says funding "will support an investigation of search and browsing on
Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, with the goal of improving how
people explore and acquire information.  "Through this project, the
Wikimedia Foundation will test ways to make relevant information more
accessible and investigate transparent methods for collecting,
connecting and retrieving this information consistent with the values of
Wikipedia and the open Web," the foundation says. Wikipedia and other
Wikimedia projects will serve as testing grounds for "six months of deep
research, testing, and prototyping on user search habits and
practices".  Results will be shared and discussed publicly, the
foundation says.
