vigna writes: The Laboratory for Web Algorithmics of the Università degli studi di Milano did it again: after creating the first open ranking of the World Wide Web they have put together the first entirely open ranking of Wikipedia, using Wikidata to categorize pages. The ranking is based on classic and easily explainable centrality measures or page views, and it is entirely open — all data (Wikipedia and Wikidata dumps) and all software used is publicly available. Just in case you wonder, the most important food is chocolate, the most important band are the Beatles and the most important idea is atheism.

The ranking is based on classic and easily explainable centrality measures applied to a host graph, and it is entirely open—all data and all software used is publicly available. Just in case you wonder, the first site is YouTube, the second one Wikipedia and the third one Twitter.
