Hi all, a (relatively) recent development has provided trust information to Wikipedia (see [1], taken from [2]). Among other things, there is an interface that colors the portions of a Wikipedia page according to its "trustworthiness", based on the number of source editors and contributions (and more stuff). This project has also been nicely summarized in an article in Wired [3]. Evidently, as soon as I read it, I wandered if anyone has already looked into making the "provenance" data they provide (as xml), which they use to compute the trustworthiness of each piece of text, as RDF data, tied to dbpedia... Needless to say, this would provide very interesting data to explore (and test) provenance and trust models for the Semantic Web!
